A.F Ward, one of the descendant,founded Mount Gay Rum. His grandfather William, b. 1791 in Barbados, married Elizabeth Payne. His Great grandfather was John. I have no further information. I am also looking for a connection to the family of John Bonyun, b 1640. May have been married to Mary Cutting in Barbados, 03 Feb 1668.
