The following quote is from "The Settlements" by John Perry Alderman.
"The old Quaker records (1 Hinshaw 497) prove that he was born on Dec. 25, 1747 (old style) to Hanuel and Eleanor Edwards, residents of Rowan County, North Carolina. Isaacs birth, along with those of his brothers and sisters, is found in the minutes of the New Garden Meeting.
He must have married in 1769, for he was dismissed by the Quaker meeting early in 1770 for marrying outside the faith (1 Hinshaw 538)."

Alexander "Isaac" Edwards married Catherine (last name not known but possibly Boone) on 27 Jan 1769 in Rowan Co., North Carolina. They had about 17 children.

APPALACHIAN TRAIL CHAPTER DAR DONATES MARKER.
The Appalachian Trail Chapter of the DAR dedicated a marker in honor of a Revolutionary War soldier during ceremonies held on Tuesday, April 2, at the North End Cemetery in Hillsville: Isaac Edwards was born in 1747 and died in 1825. During the Revolutionary War (1781-1783) , he served in a private Virginia regiment.

There is some confusion: Recently Donna Sutphin Armentrout found another grave marker in different cemetery for Isaac Edwards and it is clearly referencing the same person, if anyone has information about this please let me know.
