I'm just wondering if your James Ward is related to either of mine. 1. My gggggrandfather James Ward was also married to an Elizabeth (Williamson). He was born in 1758 in Fincastle Va but I can't find anything linking him definitively to any parents. He was a Rev War vet and Indian scout too. He was at the Seige of Bryan's Station and the Battle of Blue Licks in 1782. He served with George Rogers Clark in Indiana. He and Elizabeth settled at Rockcastle Creek in Floyd Co. (now Martin Co.) Ky in 1810. Their kids were Sarah, Alifair, Elizabeth, James Jr., Wells, Margaret, Solomon, Nathan,(died fighting for Union) George Washington, Morgania, Emanuel (died fighting for Union at Kennesaw Mt. Ga). 2. My second James Ward was from Russell Co. Va and married to Sarah Osborne. They moved to Floyd Co. (now Johnson) Ky abt. 1803 with sons Solomon, Shadrack, and William. Their daughters were Abby, Sarah, Elizabeth. Haven't found proof concerning his parents either but most seem to think he the son of William Ward who descends from immigrants James Ward and Sarah Rodgers. If anybody reads this and knows of any connections let me know please. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
