Hi to the list. I recall some discussion on the list relating to the Ward family of Hancock/Madison/Grant Co IN. None of this may fit any of your families, but I thought I would forward it to the Madison Co list. On the Clermont Co OH listserve I found the following discussion and thought perhaps there might be some connection. It was about an Elijah Ward, but soon found it was not the one who came to Madison Co, but as I read further, I saw where a descendant, Michael Lindsay WARD b 1810 moved to Hancock Co IN when he purchased land there in 1835. The Bolander/Apple family mentioned are connected with the Shinkle family who were early settlers in Madison Co.

Thanks, Jerilyn Tom & Carolyn Ward wrote: I'm trying to learn the names of the children of James and Elizabeth WARD who are buried up next to the church in the Mt. Moriah Methodist Cemetery in Clermont Co. Tombstone gives James date of death 12 Jun 1843 in the 79th year of his life. Elizabeth's says she died 14 Mar 1842 in the 79th year of her life. An affidavit James gave mentions that he is a Methodist Minister and he mentions living in Berkeley Co VA now WV as a child in his father's household during the Revolutionary War. The 1880 History of Clermont Co OH by EVERTS on page 444 mentions that James WARD settled in Clermont about 1799 and remained until death. Also that most of his family removed from the area but that a daughter married Elias T. FISHER one of the first postmasters. Is Michael Lindsay WARD b 1810 probably Clermont Co one of the sons of James and Elizabeth WARD?? Michael married Elizabeth BOLANDER in Clermont Co. She is the daughter of Peter BOLANDER and Mary APPLE. He moved to Hancock Co IN when he purchased land there in 1835, later moving to Marion Co IN and then to Clinton Co IL. where he died 3 Dec 1890 age 79. Emanuel WARD probably born between 1804 and 1816 married Jemima/Jessamine SMITH b OH in 1831 Fayette Co IN. Emanuel WARD, Ephraim WARD b 1816 TN my g g gf, and Michael Lindsay WARD all purchased land in Hancock Co IN in 1835 within a few months of each other. Any assistance in determining the children of James and Elizabeth WARD would be greatly appreciated. Best wishes, and happy to share. Tom & Carolyn WARD, P.O.
