Birth	1850 census lists him as being born in Indiana. Death certificate says he was born in Evansville, May 16, 1944. Also, it states his father was from Penn. 1900 Census, Vol22, ED18, Sheet7, L39-Gibson Co.,White River TWP, Hazelton IN
Census	1850 United States Federal Census For Edward Gaddes Age: 6 Birth Year: abt 1844 Birthplace: Indiana Home in 1850: Pigeon, Vanderburgh, Indiana, USA Line Number: 34 Dwelling Number: 93 Family Number: 93 Household Members: Name Age Wm D Grant 56 Fanny Grant 33 Mary Grant 10 Elizabeth Grant 8 Janette Grant 6 William Grant 4 Christiana Grant 1 Edward Gaddes 6 Edward was orphan, probable young brother of John Gaddis.
Shared note	THERE is a lot of contradictory information in the census records for Ed Gaddis. To wit: In the 1900 Gibson Co, IN Census, Edward claims he was born May 1852, which is after the dates John GADDIS died...Edward also claims his father was born in Wales and his mother in France. It is possible he had a different father and took the name Gaddis. It is a mystery! In the 1910 Benton Co, AR he claims father was born in Wales and mother in France. He claims he was born in 1856. In the 1920 Benton Co, AR he claims father was born in Germany and mother in France. He was born in 1856.
Note	The following are census entries for Edward Gaddis. It seems to verify that he was an orphran and the Grant family did participate in raising some of the Gaddis boys. 1850 - Pigeon Township, Vanderburgh Co, IN, Edward Gaddes, age 6, is living with Wm D and Fanny Grant. Wm is a Blacksmith from England and Edward is said to be born in Ind. 1860 - Pigeon Twp of Evansville, In, Edward Grant(sic) is still living with Wm and Fanny Grant from Scotland and England. Edward is listed as a Cooper. 1870 - 5th Ward, Evansville, IN, Edward Gadist, age 23 is living with Fanny Grant from England, employed in a shingle factory. 1880 Edward W Gaddis, age 31, is still living with Fannie Grant as her adopted son. He claims his parents are from Germany. 1900 finds Edward in White River Twp, Hazelton, Gibson Co, In, age 48, married to Lillie C. He claims his parents were from Wales and France. No children. 1910 finds Edward, age 54, in War Eagle Twp, Benton Co, Arkansas with Lillie C., age 48. He says his father was from Wales and mother from France. In 1920 Edward and Lillie remain in War Eagle Twp, but now both are said to be 64 years old. He says his father was from Germany, spoke French and his mother was from France. He is a farmer and teacher. In his last census, in 1930 in War Eagle, Edward claiams to be 85, from Indiana, and his parents from the US. It should be pointed out Edward died shortly thereafter of sinility.
