Thomas C. Edwards is one of nine children born to the marriage of John A. Edwards and Mary Wilburn, natives respectively of Hickman and Perry Counties, Tenn. They were married in the latter county, where they resided until 1872, and then moved to Hickman, County, where the father died and the mother still hives. The father was a Baptist minister. Thomas C. Edwards was born in Perry County January 1, 1848. He resided under the paternal roof until August 17, 1871, when he married Mary Jean Burns, a native of Perry County. In 1879 he came into possession of the farm on which he is at present residing, consisting of 250 acres on the west bank of Buffalo River, near Lobelville. Mr. Edwards has a very fine strong spring of freestone water near his house, which issues from the side of a steep ridge. Politically he is identified with the Democratic party.
