According to Wikipedia, he was one of two children, but the only one who
was a biological child (the other was adopted from China).

Actually, Edsel was Ford's only child to carry his genes (Henry and
Clara Jane Ford adopted a child from China). It was named after him.

But wait! There's more. Edsel Ford II is Henry's great grandson and is a
member of the board of directors of Ford today
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Family_Tree).
