Since her husband might have died about 1805 per Johnson family history it is not unlikely that she married shortly there after. We have no further info as to this marriage but the name Talbert/Tolbert Ward might fit into your research. The original claim was in Ross, Ohio. __________________________________________________________________________ Richard Clough Anderson Papers (1784-1904) Item No. 31. General Land Office. Geo.
