Hi Nancy, Speaking of Wards in So. Cayuga Cnty, there was a well-entrenched family in the King Ferry area that lived on Atwater road just south of Five Corners. I believe the father's name was Herbert (dec.). They had many sons and some (maybe one) daughters and I understand most of the children, old by now, still live in the general vicinity -- the old apple and tree thing. Do you know of them? Are they yours? BTW, did you recently move to Syr or have you been there a while? Ron Myers Nancy Ward wrote: > Sue: It sounds like your family belongs to "the other" Ward family.
