Jukes-Edwards A Study in Education and Heredity

“In this study the sources of information are the various genealogies of families in which the descendants of Mr. Edwards play a part, various town histories and church and college publications, but chiefly the biographical dictionaries and encyclopaedias in which the records of the men of the family are chronicled. It would be impossible to follow out the positions occupied by the various members but for the pride they all feel in recording the fact that they are descendants of Jonathan Edwards. A good illustration of this may be had in the current announcements of the marvelously popular novel, “Richard Carvel,” in which it is always emphasized that Mr. Winston Churchill, the author, is a descendant of Jonathan Edwards.”
