Dear Jacob, I have the 1920 Abbeville, Henry Co., AL census on loan at my local FHL, you might want to look at it yourself, there are bunches of "Wards" all over Henry Co. I noticed because there is a Sam Ward listed with one of my Doswell surname ancestor in the 1850 census. Some of the older Henry Co. census' are online at the Henry Co., AL usgenweb page.
