I find a Joseph Edwards listed on both the 1693 and the 1715 tax list of the twp of Concord.....Joseph bought 250 acres in concord Twp in 1692, fromJohn Mendenhall, one of the first purchasers of Concord land.....Joseph became a fairly well-to-do gent, and is included in a list of landholders 1690-1722, with land valued at 175 lb, and a total wealth of 333 lb. His will was probated April 15, 1717, and a copy may be obtained by writing Chester Co....if you want the address, let me know. There is also an inventory of his belongings in existance, so if you get the will be sure to ask for the inventory, too. I always find it so interesting to see what "stuff" our ancestors owned.( I see he owned books and maps so he was literate, always nice to know....the inventory is reprinted in one of my book, but very hard to read...I did see the books, though.....the will in not included on my CD of PA wills, just the date of probate.....
