Eli Edwards
was born about 1760 in Connecticut. He moved
to Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, before 1810,
and then to Delaware County, Ohio, about 1826. In
1842, he moved to Jackson County, Iowa Territory.
Eli died after 1850 but the location of his burial
has never been determined. The logical place
would be the Willison Cemetery in Farmers' Creek
Township of Jackson County, but this has not been
proven. His service has not been proven either.
