On 9 Aug 1868, Virginia City, My gr-grandfather, Rev. James E. WICKES, married
Mary Louise KNIGHT of Virginia City. Mary Louise was the stepdaughter of J.
W. EDWARDS. This EDWARDS family is found on the 1870 Storey County census.
Other members of the J. W. EDWARDS family, at that time, are his wife,
Marinda; their other daughter, Helen T. EDWARDS; and a son, John EDWARDS by
Mr. EDWARDS previous marriage.
The next, and only other mention I have of this EDWARDS family is of Marinda (
now remarried to a Mr. BEAUMONT ) and her daughter, Helen; both are living
with the Rev. James E. WICKES family in Sacramento, CA (1880 census). I am
assuming death of J. W. EDWARDS occurred in Virginia City, 1870s, and perhaps
the Beaumont marriage also. Is there anyone on this list who might have, or
can obtain, information on the death of J. W. EDWARDS, or the marriage of
Marinda EDWARDS and Mr. BEAUMONT?
