Edward seems to have inherited his longevity from his grandmother, Mary Flannery Reed. Edward lived to be 101, his father lived to 88, his grandmother Mary Flannery Reed lived to be 101, and her mother, Mary (Ward) Flannery, lived to be 100. Various other relatives in the Flannery family lived well into their eighties and nineties.
