!NOTES shared by Nathan W. Murphy Oct 25, 2002 -
Richard Edwards married a woman named Fereby. The couple moved to Posey Co., Indiana in the late 1810s. Fereby was probably the daughter of Hardy Hynes, who was from Wayne Co., North Carolina, settled in the same area of Muhlenberg Co., KY as the Edwards family, and then moved to Posey Co., Indiana. Hardy had a daughter named Fereby of the right age, whose husband has not been identified, and I believe that she probably married Richard Edwards, prior to arriving in Muhlenberg Co., Kentucky, in Wayne Co., NC. Hardy Hynes sold land to Richard Edwards in the late 1820s, and was probably his father-in-law, they both arrive to Muhlenberg Co., KY at about the same time. This would have been Hardy's oldest son-in-law.Muhlenberg Co., KY Deed Book 3, 219-220:12 August 1811.
