Bye for now, Leah Graham E-Mail #4: From: Bruce G Date: Thursday, October 09, 2003 4:15:40 PM To: John E Hoyt Subject: Re: Hoyt-Edwards Family History John, First - type in Errol Estate Country Club in your search engine. It will bring you to the Errol Estate web site - photos, etc. It is an old mansion in Apopka that is now a resort with a 27 hole golf course. It describes it in the history. It was owned by John T. Pirie. My Aunt Nancy says it was an incredibly beautiful mansion where some important and exciting gala event was held every weekend. Many servants - each of the servants had their own guest house and the houses were all named. Second - After printing that info, type in Plymouth Historical Trail in your search engine (in Apopka). Look down where it mentions the Errol Estate. It mentions that William Edwards used to run that enormous place with all it's cattle, etc. According to my Aunt Nancy, William Edwards and John T. Pirie (both from Scotland) were best friends and both came down from Illinois. Nancy says he must have acquired the bulk of his wealth in Illinois (where he was married to Isobel, and where his first son James Stewart was born). William Pirie (John T. Pirie's great grandson) lives at the Errol Estate with his wife currently. I emailed him just two days ago to see if he had any information on William Edwards. Interestingly enough - he does

He had to go out of town for two weeks so I'll have to wait to see what he has. But I have a hunch that there are photos of William Edwards hanging in the Errol Estate on it's walls. His words were "when I return I will get to you all that I have ASAP". I'm excited and I will keep you informed. Two things: 1) According to the 1900 US Census - William Edwards immigrated from Scotland in 1886. Isobel in 1892. According to the 1920 US Census - William naturalized in 1890 (doesn't show immigration year). According to the 1930 US Census - William immigrated in 1884, Isobel in 1894. So there is a two-year discrepancy for each. Naturalization records do not go back that far unfortunately. So I am left to search Scottish records. We have their birth places, we can try those places. Or we'll have to search passenger lists. 2) I still need a mailing address for you. Keep working with Ann

I'll keep talking with Nancy. I just wish she had a computer

Catch you soon. Leah Graham ----- Original Message ----- From: John E Hoyt To: Bruce G Sent: Wednesday, October 08, 2003 8:21 PM Subject: Re: Hoyt-Edwards Family History Leah, Leah, No, I haven't heard them. Thanks so much for retelling these stories. What is the Errol Estate? I recieved some data from my Aunt Ruth's daughter, ANN about the Gravesites in Apopka, of the Edwards Family stones. I have a twin brother whom lives in Apopka, starting in July of this year, it so happens, and have just asked him to go and photograph the Edwards Headstiones, & area, etc., after Ann e-mails him what cemetery and where the location might be. Looks as if Ann, and a few people on the Edwards side were friends. I'll send you her e-mail of that data, also. right after this is sent. Keep digging..Did William come straight from Scotland? or is there more Edwards here before him in America?

Leah Graham NATURALIZATION: CENSUS: 1851 Census-Scotland: Search the 1851 Census database >>> CENSUS: This project - to transcribe and key into computer the returns of the 1851 Census for all the parishes of Dumfriesshire, Kirkcudbrightshire and Wigtownshire - was begun in 1990 and undertaken by the Friends of the Archives of Dumfries and Galloway and other volunteers. CENSUS: Work on the Wigtownshire parishes is not complete and so the returns for some of the parishes of that county are not yet entered onto this database.
