Leaving a Godly Legacy

This is the influence Jonathan Edwards had on his family. I believe that these numbers had been calculated somewhere between 150-170 years after Edwards' death.

An investigation was made of 1,394 known descendants of Jonathan Edwards of which 13 became college presidents, 65 college professors, 3 United States senator,s 30 judges, 100 lawyers, 60 physicians, 75 army and navy officers, 100 preachers and missionaries, 60 authors of prominence, one a vice-president of the United States, 80 became public officials in other capacities, 295 college graduates, among whom were governors of states and ministers to foreign countries.
