son of John Edwards and Sarah Jane Parker
John's great grandparents lived in Wales until an epidemic may have caused them to move to Ireland around the 1730's. Edwards families lived in an area where Kilkenny and Carlow counties share a border for the next 70 years or more. Many were trained for the military.
John married Sarah Burbish/Burrish, a Roman Catholic from Wales on the Isle of Wight in 1797. Charles Armstrong wrote, "this is very astonishing to the Protestant race and his own friends disowned him. He was taken to the docks, hidden under straw and his cousin John, my wife's brother, sailed with him to Canada. John, my wife's brother, died and was buried near Montreal at a place called Bencartier".
In about 1800, John and Sarah returned to the Isle of Wight where they remained until the summer of 1810 when they returned to Canada with their 5 children.
In 1825 they were listed in St. Gilles, Quebec and in 1831 in St. Sylvestre, Quebec, living with their son, George. John was buried 11 Mar 1836.
