I have traced my Edison line back to my G-G-Grandfather, Cornelious Edison in New York... I am the first generation not born in NYC from then. I know he married twice, my line coming from the Unknown first wife.. of course. His Second wife, Mary had 3 children from a previous marrage to a Cardwell, and a 4th with Cornelius. There is a little conficting info between censuses, one says his parents were from Jersey, one says New York, and another says his father was from Rhode Island??
Any insight, from anyone, would be great!!

Thanks a ton,
Dan
