"COMPILATION:Dr. G.M.G. Stafford, Baton Rouge, Louisiana "The
King Family" p.4-5 "The Edward
s family was one of the most prominent among the early pioneers
who settled this country. Before crossing the ocean to the wilds
of america they had been in Denbigh, Wales for many centuries.
They can easily be traced back to Sir John Griffith Lloyd, a
direct descendant of Roderick the Great, King of Wales in 824.
Richard Edwards of Denbigh had four sons: Richard, William, John
and Thomas. Richard, the eldest of these, left Wales during the
reign of Queen Elizabeth and settled in Chester, England, where
he was a minister of the established church. He later removed to
Lond and at the time of his death was prelate of the queen. His
son, Thomas, was knighted by royal decree in 1624. This Sir
Thomas Edwads had five sons: William, John, Thomas, Robert, and
Edmund. The eldest, William Edwards (1620-1685), came to America
with his mother and step-father, John Cole, of London, and
settled in Hartford, Connecticut (1639), where he married and
left numerous descendants, thus establishing the well known
family of that name in New England. John, Richard, William and
Thomas Edwards, grandsons of Richard of Wales, came to Virginia,
and John, the eldest, settled in Northumberland county. His son,
John Edwards, Jr., was a vestryman in Lancaster county, and then
removed to Surry county where he was a burgess. He married
Frances Cole and their son, William Edwards, member of the House
of Burgesses in 1653, lived in Surry county and married Dorothy
Withers. Among their children was William Edwards, Jr., also a
burgess from Surry, who married Ann Harrison, daughter of Col.
Benjamin Harrison, the "Councillor" (progenitor of two
Presidents of the United States), and they were the parents of
John Edwards who married Jane Arrington. This latter couple
lived in Prince William County and later moved to Spotsylvania
county. John Edwards was a cptain in the colonial militia and
was with the First Virginia Regiment in the French and Indian
War. His wife, Jane Arrington was a daughter of Thomas Arrington
of Westmoreland county."

From Evelyn Beckham Mondy's DAR appl.: Benajmin Harris entered
the Revolutionary Army in 1775 at 21. First served as Private,
then Corporal in the Va. Continental Line. In 1779 he was
promoted to Capt. and held this office until 1782. From the
record of the Bureau of Pensions, Wash. D.C., we learn that he
was in the Seige of York.
In Edwards' Memorial Sketch, p. 9 it is stated Capt. Harris was
at Yorktown at the surrender of Cornwallis and was frequently in
the society of Gen. Washington while engaged in military svc.
For Washington he formed a strong personal attachment. His
admiration of the chieftains exalted charcater was unbounded.
The name of Benjamin Harris appears in a Dec. of Independence
signed by the citizens of Albemarle Co. Va April 21, 1779, the
original of which is preserved in the Va. Historical Society,
Richmond, VA.
In May 1781 when it was rumored that the British were on their
way to Richmond Va, there was a call for a great many men from
Albemarle Co. and many companies went into service, Capt.
Benjamin Harris being one (McAllisters History of Va. Militia in
the Revolutionary War, p. 106.
Many dates of births, deaths and marriages came from Benjamin
Harris and Mary Woods Harris' family bible in possession of
their grandson, Melville Harris, who owns the ancestral estate
in Albemarle Co, VA. Patented by Wm. Harris in 1741.
named in Will of WILLIAM HARRIS, dated Oct. 26, 1788.
