Biography:
EDGAR, Thomas (fl 1822-30)
The preface to Poems on Various Subjects thanks his subscribers, but there is no list of names. Internal evidence suggests he was a landowner, and the preface mentions fishing in the area of the Carron River, a tributary of the Nith in Dumfriesshire. He may have been born at Closeburn, Dumfries in 1782; this is consistent with internal evidence. (ancestry.co.uk 30 Oct 2018) SR
