There are several John Ward's listed in Patent book for Cecil County but the one you would probably find most interesting John Ward patented Wards Addition 1706 John Ward Patented Wards Addition & Wards Knowledge in 1764 John Ward Ptented Wards Knowledge in 1694 Wards Resurvey Robert & Joshus Ward 1791 Bobbi Ellen Ward wrote: > I have information that John Ward III from Cecil County and Elizabeth Wilson from Kent Island were married in 1765 and lived in Cecil County.

Thanks Bobbi! That last is a bit of info I didn't have! If that refers to a resurvey of the properties Wards Knowledge and Wards Addition then it begins to answer my question as to *which* Ward family they were descended from and confirms a family history I discovered in Baltimore County of the George Ward descendants. The interesting thing is that it differs from the widely accepted information that was done by Duncan Veazey in the 1890s. If anyone has any other information that might help me I'd appreciate it.
