Dorothy, I have no Hanna Ward in my records but then I have so little information about my Ward family. Wilmoth Ward was born circa 1817 in Chenango County, New York. My family suspects that he was the son of Jeremiah Ward who is listed in Pylmouth Township, Chenango County in the 1820 census. Wilmoth told later census takers that his father was born in New Jersey. I do not know the names of Jeremiah's siblings or parents. It is quite possible that either or both Hanna and Jeremiah were descendants of either Sergeant John Ward or John Ward (the turner, which was his trade) who were among the first settlers of Newark, New Jersey in the 1660s. John Ward the turner was several years younger than Sergeant John Ward and they were probably not closely related. They were part of a group led by Robert Treat that left New Haven Colony and founded Newark. But I have no proof so this is just an hypothesis. Jeff Ward
