The Edwards part came over prior to 1776 and I had ancestors in both the Revolutionary war and the war of 1812. The Barten part came over around 1850 and was in the Civil War. I was in the military during time of war, my father volunteered for Vietnam, my grandfather was in the military. Still researching, it’s a slow process.
When my families came here it was a land of opportunity but also a land of danger and hard work. But I know my family did not crawl under a fence with welfare application forms in their pocket. They did not come here to work for nothing and steal you job or the things that you worked so hard for.
