There is a possibility they may have confused the Revolutionary Soldier Richard and a Richard born later (possibly a son of the elder) when they placed this marker. More research may be needed. ------------------------------------ "The Edwards family, on Buck Swamp, is another family of some note. Tradition informs us that Richard Edwards came to SC from Virginia soon after the Revolutionary War; that he was originally from England, or rather his ancestors; that during the Revolution he was shot in the head and his skull was fractured; that the fracture was trepanned with gold, and from that fact was generally called 'Gold-headed Richard or Dick Edwards.' We are not informed who his wife was; he raised a family of sons and perhaps daughters, the daughters are unknown; his sons were Richard, David, Samuel and Henry - who became stocks for families, more or less numerous, now in the county; they settled on Buck Swamp. Their father, 'Gold-headed Dick', lived to a great age, and was a man of some means." From A History of Marion County, by W W Sellers, pages 185, 186 ------------------------------------
