                       The Ancestral file of the church has Jospeh Hyrum Edwards being born in
    Birmingham, Warwick, Eng.  However history states that Samuel and his family
    paid for passage on the ship, Ellen 12/26/1849.  The shipe set sail on January
    1, 1850 from Liverpool.  The night was very dark and a very stron wind was
    blowing from the Northeast.  Captain Phillips became intoxicated and other
    members of the crew could not persuade him to wait until morning.  The wind
    sailed the ship very fast on the rough water in the harbor causing it to crash
    into a schooner.  The Ellen had to anchor on the coast of Wales for two weeks
    for repairs.  They were on the water thirteen weeks before they arrived in New
    Orleans.  If the set sail Januay 1, 1850, then was anchored in Wales for two
    weeks that still would only be the middle of January and he was born 2/16/94 so
    it seems more likely that he was born at sea and lived about 3 weeks, die and
    was burie
