I mentioned this family in a previous post, but Elizabeth Sarah Hutchings/Edwards, sister to my grandfather Aaron Edwards (on my mother’s side), presents a special puzzle.

I had her married to a Henry Simmons and dying young without children.  However, one of the public family trees published on Ancestry.com has her marrying an Edward Sullivan with a long line of descendants leading to the present day.  So, it’s back to the drawing board, first to find out what  evidence there is for either case, then make a decision, correct my records if necessary and acknowledge the source of the corect information.  As he/she would be some sort of cousin (haven’t worked that out yet)  I would probably get in touch with them, as I haven’t found anyone until now who is researching the Edwards in Hoo Kent – I’m rather hoping they are right and I am wrong!
