Ward to his family in N.C. I have some info that has not been verified as yet and would certainly hope it connects to your Levin Ward. My John W. Ward was born somewhere in N.C. in 1825. I have no other info on his past prior to his marriage so am trying to connect him using dates. The dates of Levin Ward and Priscilla Price's marriage (1775) and dates of the births of their children (especially Francis Asbury Ward in 1799) could possibly be the connection I am looking for. My John W. Ward has named his children many of the names of the Levin Ward family & Francis Asbury Ward family. They are: Malissa Caroline Celia Ward, William Perry Ward, John Leandrew Ward, Mary Frances Ward, Daniel O. Ward (my line), Charles J. Ward, Benjamin Clay Ward, and James Hubbard Ward. Francis Asbury Ward married Mary Watkins in 1823...(My John W. Ward was born in 1825), but no children are noted by them. Then he is shown marrying Sarah Mil! ler in 1828 and their first child is shown as John W. Ward without a birthdate, but what is interesting is that the second child wasn't born until 1830. This makes me think that Francis and Mary married in 1823, had John W. Ward in 1825. Something happened to his wife between 1823 and 1828 when he remarried to Sarah Miller. I think it may be possible that she died in childbirth in 1825 while giving birth to John W. Ward. Then, Francis remarried in 1828 when John would have been about 3 years old. That may be the reason there is no birthdate listed for him. It is very feasible and that is why I am writing to you. Can you provide any info on the John W. Ward, grandson of Levin Ward by Francis Asbury Ward? I would love to hear from anyone connected to this family. I am interested in any thoughts on this family. Thanks.

You can find Levin WARD and Priscilla PRICE's FGS at this site http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~martindg/fam05317.htm Their son Samuel WARD married Elizabeth SMITH who was the sister of my Rev Samuel Powell SMITH (whose namesake son, Samuel Powell SMITH married Elizabeth Ann WARD).
