Surnames: WARD Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ReB.2ACE/2777 Message Board Post: My great-grandfather was Jefferson Lafayette "Fate" Ward from Gibson Cnty TN. His parents were Jessie W. Ward and Susan M. Ward (maiden name WARD). I am trying to find information on the family of Jessie and Susan. Jessie death certificate shows he died 4/26/1924 at the age of 80 so he was born in 1844 or 45. Susan M. Ward was born 12/4/1837 and died 4/16/1925. Both died and are buried in Gibson Cnty TN, Antioch Cemetery. Susan's father was Thomas Ward from NC. I am searching for information about any other children they had, and information on their parents. I have visited Antioch Cemetery and found a Thomas Ward and Rosey Ann Ward buried next to Susan, so I think these may have been her parents. I also have pictures of other Ward family members headstones at Antioch and Oak Grove Baptist cemeteries in Gibson County if anyone would like them. thanks, Byron
