Nathaniel's birth date range in the census is 1756-1774. His first child was born in 1781.

Nathaniel Edwards of Montgomery County, North Carolina was born in about 1762 in Georgia, according to the census records of his son Crawford, and the birth location of his brothers and sisters.. He is in the 1787 tax records and in the 1790 and 1800 censuses in Montgomery County. (The name of the county was changed from Anson to Montgomery in 1778.) His children began appearing in the records in Wilson County, TN in 1804, but there are no records in Tennessee for Nathaniel himself. His last child was born in North Carolina in 1806. The absence of Nathaniel from the tax records in Wilson County implies that he was never a resident of Wilson County. Nancy appeared as head of household in the 1820 census.

Nathaniel's wife Nancy Howard Edwards was identified in the will of her father, William Howard, who died in 1814. Nathaniel married Nancy Howard in about 1780. There were nine surviving children in the 1800 census, and there were three children born after 1800. The names of the children were not in any historical document with Nathaniel or Nancy, and had to be researched individually. Eleven of the children have been identified, and are now verified by DNA.
