Relationship to wives:

At least one Ancestry.com public tree lists Mary Edwards as Joel Doss' wife. The sequence of children's birth years is problematic, and it may be that Edwards was an extramarital affair, or parentage incorrectly attributed to him. It is also possible that Mary Penny and Mary Edwards (who share the same approximate birth date) might be the same person.
