Karen, I know that David W. Pethick has a lot of info on the Ward family. I'll print out your info and take it with me the next time I get down to Douglas. Checking Zilpha Kirkland and husband James Preston Ward..there isn't a listing of his family in the book. They did however have a son that they named Jackson Ward born abt 1817/1818 who married Sarah Davis. In checking on Jackson Ward and Sarah Davis..they don't have a son named Jackson Davis Ward, however there is one named after his father: James P. Ward born 10/8/1850, died 1865. The line stops with these children. (in the book) Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
