tute proceedings for the recovery Of large

this land, being owned by Edwards, was
leased for a term of SO years, during the
Revolutionary war, that he afterwards went
to sea aud afterwards died without making q
will. He died bachelor, leaving two broth
ers, of Virginia, his heirs. Among the de-
scendants of the two brothers are mentioned
Edwards families, of Virginia, and the de-
scendants of Benjamin Edwards, who mar
ried Margaret, daughter Of Ninian Beall of
this county, 1884. Interest in this claim of
over $3O0,OO0,OOO has been recently revived
by the discovery of important papers, which,
it lie believed, will enable the heirs to sub
stantiste the claim and push 1t TO success
full issue.
