Notes from RL MOON
Richard "Dickie" Edwards, a son of Young Edwards, Sr., lived in Cherry Lane Township, in the southeastern part of Alleghany County on Glade Creek and Brush Creek (also known as Brushy Fork) of the Little River.
There were several different men named Richard Edwards in Alleghany County during the 19th century, and it is easy to confuse them.
Richard "Dickie" Edwards (1798-1890) was almost the same age as his second cousin, Richard Clifford Edwards, Sr. (1794-1875), who was a son of David Edwards, Jr. & Elizabeth Andrews.
Richard Clifford Edwards, Sr., and his son Richard Clifford Edwards, Jr. (1830-1874), lived a few miles north of Richard "Dickie" Edwards in Glade Creek Township near the Virginia line.
Their land was located on the Little River, Crab Creek and Moccasin Creek.
Richard "Dickie" Edwards had land on Glade Creek but he lived in Cherry Lane Township.
See also Alleghany County Heritage (Alleghany Co. Hist-Gen. Society, 1983), p.181.
Note the Heritage book article states that Richard "Dickie" was the son of Young Edwards, Jr., not Young Edwards, Sr. , but I think this is an error; Richard was a son of Young Sr., as proven by a deed between Young Sr.'s heirs dated Oct. 17, 1843, Alleghany DB 1:380 (see below).

There were several different men named Richard Edwards in Alleghany County during the 19th century, and it is easy to confuse them.
Richard "Dickie" Edwards (1798-1890) was almost the same age as his second cousin, Richard Clifford Edwards, Sr. (1794-1875), who was a son of David Edwards, Jr. & Elizabeth Andrews.
Richard Clifford Edwards, Sr., and his son Richard Clifford Edwards, Jr. (1830-1874), lived a few miles north of Richard "Dickie" Edwards in Glade Creek Township near the Virginia line.
Their land was located on the Little River, Crab Creek and Moccasin Creek.
Richard "Dickie" Edwards had land on Glade Creek but he lived in Cherry Lane Township.
See also Alleghany County Heritage (Alleghany Co. Hist-Gen. Society, 1983), p.181.
Note the Heritage book article states that Richard "Dickie" was the son of Young Edwards, Jr., not Young Edwards, Sr. , but I think this is an error; Richard was a son of Young Sr., as proven by a deed between Young Sr.'s heirs dated Oct. 17, 1843, Alleghany DB 1:380 (see below).
