Dena, That land was two miles west of Marion, making it in Ward 2. Unlike Arkansas, Louisiana parishes were not subdivided by the local governments into named townships, but rather into numbered wards. So if you are searching for these people in a census, 1850-1930, you should search through Ward 2.
