Sep 23 1938 in Havre, Washington, IA married Ellen Pernelia TANSEY 1877 Washington Co., IA - their children are: Alice May; Grace Edna-m. Severeid; Donald Clement m. Verna Estella Cox; Benjamin Harrison m. Ollie Mabel Davidson; Florence Melissa m. John E. Drury; Mildred Ellen m. Walter E. Knott; Nora Irene m. Henry Severin Heggen; Hazel Minnie m. Joe Lewis Coley; Howard Wilson m. Edith Alleman; Glenn Eldon m. Helen. Parents of Josiah are: Tartus Manchester Ward b. 1815 Licking Co., OH d. 1897 Washington Co., IA and Elvira M. Doolittle Tartus parents: Jonas Ward Jr. and Elizabeth Deweese Am hoping to find some family member that can help verify the MOTHER of Jonas Ward Jr. Have tracked Jonas Sr. to a church in Marietta, OH 1800 along with Sarah - one researcher says Mother is a Phebe but cannot find any data verifying this - so far all my leads have taken me to Jonas Sr. and Sarah Jones Stow as parents. Note: I did find another Jonas Sr. but he was an heir to a Cornelius Ward 1811 in Marietta, OH along with Phebe Ward who married Baruch Dorr, Daniel Ward, Aaron Ward,Jemimah Ward & spouse George Carrell,Anna Ward and spouse Jacob Umphry, Neoma Ward. If you have any data that might help verify the Mother of Jonas Jr. sure would appreciate the help - will gladly share what I have also.
