Posted on: Obion Co. Tn Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tn/Obion/1513 Surname: Tant, Ward ------------------------- My grandmother Hazel Louise Ward was supposedly born in Union City,Obion Co.,TN. Her Mother was Emma Tant Ward oldest daughter of William Henry Tant or "Taunt" as it was listed in the 1890 census and his wife Susan Eliz. Starkey. Emma was born in Rutherford Co.,TN but all her brothers and sisters are listed as being born in Obion Co. My grandmother was one of 4 surviving daughters Ruth,Grace,Hazel and Elizabeth. Her father's name is unclear some say William Ward others Lemuel Ward. This is a mystery that prevents me from tracing her paternal side.We have pictures of an adult male with William Westmoreland Ward on the back and a baby that says Johnny Westmorland Ward. The father and son died of malaria or yellow fever before 1910.I need to know if there are any birth records or christening records that could clarify some of this. By 1910 or so the family had totally migrated to Shelby Co.,Tn. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
