Betty, could you tell me who your JOHN WARD married? I have a picture that was given to me by one of my Johnson family descendants of John Ward and wife. None of us know the connection. On the back of the picture is the following notes; "John Ward and wife, cousin of Annie Johnson. This is for Mrs Tennie Beaty bee sure and send it to her". Note: Tennie Crawford Beaty was the wife of Lewallyn Burr Beaty Sr. If the writer meant that John Ward was a cousin of Anne Johnson, he is likely a son of Tennie's sister because Annie (Beaty) Johnson was Tennie's daughter.
