Biography

http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~theduffypapers/family/edwards/1720_w...

Grizzle (Coleman) Edwards was still alive in December 1827 when a Cumberland Co., VA Chancery court oversaw the land and personal estate of her son William Edwards 1758-1803 deceased, as his mother had been appointed administratrix of his estate, had taken over raising his orphaned children, and never completed the administration of his estate.

Update 30 December 2023: Error when it states that Grizzel (Coleman) Edwards was still alive in 1827. Grizzle (Coleman) Edwards is listed as Head of Household in the 1784 Cumberland County, VA. census, and she is not listed in the 1810 Cumberland County, VA U.S. census. Last shows in the 1788 tax records as Gilly Edwards So she died sometime between 1788 and 1810. 'Gilly' is a nickname for Grizzle.

Assuming she was 18 years old when she married William Edwards in 1750 Cumberland Co., VA, .. . The residual of William Edwards 1758-1803’s children migrated to Logan County, KY. in the early 1830’s, so Grizzle Edwards had most likely died in the interim.
