Dear Ann, Diane, Kathy, Michael, Lisa and others who responded, Many thanks for every bit of input-from everyone! I think I'll focus on East Palestine, Ohio on the border of Columbiana County, OH since N.H.WARD's family came from Washington Co, PA to Columbiana County in 1815. This is a good lesson for me -to be very specific when I write up MY data- and to check carefully data from others. I found that the 1886 compiler of the book "History of Hancock County", R. Brown -in a couple instances in this "mini-biography" either wasn't specific enough or entered conflicting information an instance or two. But, none-the-less the information is surely valuable as one must verify everything anyway! You folks are a GREAT help! Thanks much!
