I've been researching the Curtright/Ward family for many years, but have been unable to find a relative. We own the Ward plantation drawn in the 1805 land lottery. This would have been Cornelius Rowan Curtright's mother, Irene's father, Francis Ward. The old homestead is still standing. I would appreciate any information you have to offer. Cornelius apparently did not know very much about his ancestors. I have copies of 2 letters he and his sister wrote to a distant relative asking for information on the family. I've had 2 people to contact me lately that say they are relatives, but I could not connect to their family. I have a lot of information on the Curtright and Ward Families. I'll be glad to help you with information.
