Notes - Edward was Richard and Priscilla’s eighth child. He was born in April 1834. There is a discrepancy concerning the day of his birth. The obituary and LDS endowment records list April 25th, but his history has April 16th. He was christened August 24, 1834. He was about 7 years old when his mother died and he and his older brother John went to live with their Wager relatives.
In the 1851 census they were living with Esther Wager and her son Jeremiah. Edward received some schooling, as he could read and write. He was about 19 when he was taught the gospel by Mormon missionaries. He was baptized February 28, 1853 by George Humphries, who then confirmed him on March 3, 1853. After he joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints he desired to gather with the saints and his brothers in Utah. He worked and saved his money until he was able to buy passage on the ship Charles Banks. It docked at Boston and he joined the William Cooper emigrant train and arrived in Salt Lake City November 7, 1855. He settled in the Echo/Henefer area.[4]
