Glamorganshire / Re: Edwards Hall, Cardiff

I can't private post here so have to post out in the forum.
I am on FTDNA. In fact, here are all my coordinates:
23andMe: Paul Duncan
Ancestry.com: grems8544
FTDNA: Kit 281914 (FMS, FF, yDNA-67 (-111 pending))
GEDmatch: A607046 and M181457
AncestryDNA Verified DNA Links: http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/58438162
Ancestry Working Tree: http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/56579773
My yDNA suggests that I'm a Bennett -- long story there on how I get from being a Bennett to a Duncan. Duncan is irrelevant for the purposes of surname tracking.
My great grandparents were Harry Frank Bennett (1887-1949) and Pearl Elizabeth Jones (1885-1951).
Pearl's father, Thomas Valentine Jones (1824 - 1906) [yes, he fathered her when he was 61; he married Mary Hopkins, 25 years his junior], has a direct ancestor trail to the Edwards line at *his* grandparents level. Thomas' grandparents were Richard Jones (1742) and Sarah Edwards (1742).
Sarah's parents were William Edwards (1720-1801) and Elizabeth Dimmery (1715-1781).
William's parents were Thomas Nathaniel Edwards Sr. (1690-1781) and Sarah Elizabeth Isabella Downing (1692-1742). These two form my most recent common ancestor pair with the person who I have an autosomal DNA link with.
My DNA cousin suggests that his link to Thomas Sr. is through Jonathan (John?) Edwards, c 1720. He has a trail from present day back to Thomas Sr. which is simply wrong. You can review his tree here:

What is important is that I am showing cousinship with him, and the trail appears to be through the Edwards line.
Any help correcting his mess in his line would be appreciated.
Regards,
Paul
