Captain L. M. Edwards was noted in his day; he died a few months ago, and left a large family, sons and daughters ; he was married twice ; his first wife was a Miss Martin, sister of the late A. Martin and, I think, a cousin of Captain Edwards by her be had sons and daughters ; sons, Richard, Albert, Enos and Hamilton, all of whom are married, and have families, are good citizens and doing fairly well. By Captain Edwards' second wife, the Widow Fort, originally a Miss Lewis, he had sons-P. H. Edwards, Marion, Olin and Bonnie; of these, Marion is dead ; P. H. Edwards married a daughter of Dr. C. T. Ford ; Olin married a daughter of T. B. Hays ; Bonnie is yet single. Captain Edwards had some daughters by each wife; one married Samuel Roberts; one married a Nicholson; and perhaps other daughters, unknown. Of his first sons, Richard married a Miss Martin, his first cousin ; Albert Edwards married a Miss Roberts; Enos Edwards married Miss Hays, and Hamilton Edwards married Miss Ida Smith. These are all now citizens of the county, and performing their duties as such. ;

James Roberts, second son of old man Reddin Roberts, married Sallie Goodyear, only child of old Mr. William Goodyear ; he raised a considerable family; he is and was a very excellent citizen; little is known of his family. A son of his, Henry Roberts, is a capital man and good citizen; I do not know whether he is married or not ; I think he lives on his father's old homestead. One of James Roberts' daughters married A. C. Oliver, of Robeson County, N. C. ; they have considerable family. Another daughter married Albert Edwards, of this county ; think they have but one child, a daughter, who is said to be quite a scholar and a fine teacher. Another daughter is the wife of Albert Shooter. James Roberts had other children, not known to the writer. James Roberts was a good man and unexceptional citizen -honest and truthful. ;

!NOTES:I (Marty Grant) am not related to this person as far as I know. However, I am interested in all Roberts families in the Marion and Horry Co., SC region;
