william Ward born in 1740 in Pennslvania later lived in Virginia where he married a gril named Margaret. they moved to Kentucky but retained their land in greenbrier County. William eventually was called William of greenbrier because of the tiem he spent traveling back and forth between these places. Margaret died first apparently without children and William died in 1812 in Kentucky. John Headington Ward born in 1807 in Hot Springs Arkansas. He invented the overhead railroad but in the time taken to register his patent another inventor beat him out. Andrew Harrison Ward studied at Transylvania College in Lexington until a cholera plague cut short his efforts. Then he entered the law offfice of James Curry where he read law and practiced many years. He was recognized as one of the outstanding lawyers of Kentucky. He served in th eLegislature during the reconstruction period after the Civil War. He refused the Attorney Generalship of the Untited States as well as many other honors as he felt he could not do his career justice by accepting them. Zebulaon Ward born in 1822 in Little Rock Arkansas married Mary C Worthan of Harrison County Kentucky. At age 21 ZXeb operated a steamboat business in Nashville TN. Then he spent some time in Cuba, returning at the outbreak of the Mexican War so he could enlist. He became a 49er during the Gold Rush and made money returning to Covington KY where he again went into the steamboat business, In 1855 he leased the Knetucky Penitentiary and used convict labor to improve the state for Kentucky. When was was declared he joined the Union Army with his friend general JS Jackson. After the war he went back to Nashville TN where he lease the penitentiary and was successful again. Then he lived in Lexington KY for two years where he operated a steam bagging factory.

When the lease expired he farmed and raised stock. He died in Little Rock at age 73.

This is my first posting to any genealogy list and I'm not sure about the protocol of posing questions - especially since I'm fairly new at trying to ferret out information. Anyway here goes: So far I have for JOHN C. WARD: father (?) ISRAEL WARD, age 39, 1850 U.S. Census, Sussex/Byram, NJ mother(?) ELISABETH WARD, age 39, (as above). Their 3rd child of 6 is JOHN C. WARD, age 12 (as above), which makes him the right age to have been born in 1838. This goes with the age given in his discharge papers from the Civil War. (He served twice: Sept. 1862 - July 1863, Company K, 27th NJ Infantry, and Sept 1864 - June 1865, serving as "artificer" in K Company of the 1st New York Engineers. This from discharge papers in our possession.) These same papers state that he was born in Greenville NJ. Am not sure where that was. Our old Ward family bible says he was born in 1836. JOHN married URSULA FISK, (b. Feb. 22, 1836, also URSULY, ARSULA, URSYLLA), on Jan. 1859 in Sussex County, NJ (Ward family bible). Family legend has it that she was an American Indian. I believe her father's name was Gileon Fisk, b. 2/11/1800. (Info "from Shumans family bible"). They lived in Stanhope NJ where JOHN lived and worked on the Morris Canal (photos). JOHN and URSULA had 7 children, (from Ward family bible): 1. AMBROSE E. WARD (died at 5 mo.) 2. ADALINE C. WARD, b. APRIL 6, 1861. She married BENJAMIN COLE. They had a farm in New Village, NJ and then lived in Stewartsville, Warren County NJ. They had at least 2 children: ETHEL COLE FRED COLE I have also seen the name FRANCIS COLE, daughter of WILBERT on a photo. 3. WATSON M. WARD, b. April 6 , 1864 , (probably married ELIZA). Do not know of any offspring. 4. LAVINA WARD (died at 1 mo.) 5. WALTER J. WARD (died at 10 yrs.) 6. ELLA E. WARD, b. Apr. 22, 1872. I figure she was the Aunt NELL photographed with the family and with her husband JOHN RUNION. They lived in Tranquility NJ and in Stewartsville NJ. In 1917 JOHN RUNION lived in Andover NJ. (Letter). Their children were: JACK RUNION LULU RUNION 7. FREDRICK IRA WARD, b. Jan. 26, 1875 in Stanhope NJ, d. 1942, Trenton NJ. He married MARY ELLEN GLOVER, b. Oct. 1, 1874, New Durham, St. Giles, County of Durham, sub-district Saint Nicholas, England. FRED worked as a machinist at American Steel and Wire, Trenton NJ for many years. FRED and MARY ELLEN had two children: 1. GLADYS WARD, who married HARRY SMITH. They lived in Trenton NJ, no offspring. 2. CHARLES WILLIAM WARD, (my father), b. Jan. 24, 1900, Trenton NJ, d. Dec. 7, 1962, Philadelphia PA. He lived in Carversville PA for the last 30 years of his life, painting Pennsylvania Impressionist landscapes, 4 WPA U.S. Post Office murals, and also did post-impressionist work - many figurative and of Mexican influence. He married musician ANNA ELIZABETH KARLBERG July 4, 1942. They had two children: 1. KRISTINA MARIA WARD TURECHEK (yours truly, with two sons, WILLIAM and CARL) 2. MARY ELLEN GLADYS WARD (an artist, no children) I would dearly love to know if there are any other living Ward relatives out there, and also would like to know if the Morris County NJ Revolutionary War soldier ISRAEL WARD I have read about is related to our JOHN C. WARD of Stanhope NJ. Thanks for any help anyone here can give us. Sincerely, Kristina Ward Turechek

Does anyone have this family in their Ward line? Ulissus Sterling Ward b. Sept 3rd 1865 probably Ga or TN Children Lawrence,Ralph, Freddie,Maggie,Jennings some of this family moved to TX or OK peer family records. Barbara

IKaren was wondering if your Wards were connected to the Conrad Ward on the 1850 NC census? Barbara Hi Linda--I would also be interested in the info you have on the Wards. I am looking for information about William Theodore Ward who married Florence Elizabeth Jones ca. 1886. They had a son, Walter Conrad Ward, b. 1887, and a daughter, Grace Alma Ward, b. 1908. Grace Alma Ward is my granddaughters great-grandmother on their father's side of the family. Karen Petry >>

I would also like to ask if any of your Wards out there were coal miners? My grandfather worked the mines from Alabama, TN, VA and Kyntucky, for 20 years are more, This was around 1890 to 1920. He was born in Gilmer Co Ga Feb. 16, 1875. His father was Hampton Percival Ward b. in 1844. there is much confusion on his birthplace. The family moved to Gilmer Co Ga abt 1842, but family records show him born in NC. Barbara

This is just a few of my notes I will get details and sources when I view the film. From 1730 to 1770 half a million Scotch Irish left Ulster to make thier homes in the American colonies. Among the immigrants of 1730 were three generation of Wards. The Wards landed in Philadelphis PA where they remained for a number of years. James was 50 and listed as a widower. From Pennsylvania they migrated to the valley of Virginia and build a home where Greenville is now lovated in what is present Augusta County VA. James the Elder remained at this location during his life time which was past 86 years of age. in Nov 1758 he was forced to apply to the Augusta Parish for support. James Ward is though to be buried in a churchyard near Stauton August aCounty VA. He was the father of at least thress sons. OPther Ward families came to America and because of their use of certain unusual given names are strongly believed to have been related to James. James sonse were James, William, and John Ward. Jawmes Ward Jr born in Ulster Ireland about 1700 married there and his wife came with him to Americas with their 3 small sons in 1730. They lived in Pennsylvania until Sep t 9, 1748 James sold the property for 23 pounds. James III was married in 1749 in Virginia it is presumed that they went directly htere even though James Jr was not mentioned in Virginia records for several years. James JR settled near Stauton Augusta County VA. He was a member of the Augusta County Militia and served during the French and Indian war in 1750. Jeseph Ward was born in 1723 in Ulster Ireland married Janet McMills in early 1740's in Pennslyvania. They moved with his parent to Virginia where they first settled in Augusta County. Joseph served in the French and Indian war with his father and two brothers. He was listed as a member of Capt Dickensons Rangers in 1756-1757 and he was in the Augusta Militia in 1758. He served in the Cherokee Expedition in the 1760's as well as participated in toher Indian encounters. He received numerous land warrants for his Colonial military services the largest being 2,000 acres. On Feb 10, 1763 Joseph and Janet pruchased a 220 acre place on Pages draft of the James River. On August 20, 1766 they sold it at a loss. James Ward born 1750 in Botetourt CounVA married Margaret Stevenson in 1770. Their son John Russel Ward was considered to be on e of the great scientists of early Kentucky. While visiting his brothers in 1820 in Indiana there was an epidemic among the Delaware Indians. Dr Ward treated them and was instrumental in so many cures that in gratitude they presented him with the Walam Olum painted records which were the key to the Delaware language. In 1829 he and his wife and three sons moved to Fulton Callowy County Missouri where he died in 1834. Andrew Ward born in 1778 in Virginia married Elizabeth Headington. THey sold thier property in Kentucky in 1803 and went to Urbana Ohio. During the winter of 1806 their son was stolen by Indians. Wlizabeth would not remain in Ohio after that and they returned to Kentucky where they stayed until 1812. It was then that Andrew enlisted in the service and was a private in Capt Bradfords Company 17th Regiment US Infantry. On May 5, 1813 after seven day s of seige by Tecumseh and his Indians, Andrew was wounded to the extent left his left arm useless. For theis wound he received a pension from 1830 until his death. John Ward born in 1754 in West Virginia was taken in 1757 by his parents to a place near Fort Dimwiddle. In early winter he was stolen by Indians. Two braves had stationed themselves on some hight ground above his fathers property. From there they could see the fort and also had a clear view of James Wards home and flour mill which was not far distant. They watched James lift his oldest son up with him onto the horse and ride away to the mill. John then 3 years old is presumed to have started off unobserved following them toward the mill. The Indians then descended picked up the clid and carried him away. A search was made and the trail was plain for several miles until the Indians crossed to the other side of the ridge where the snow had melter. John grew up as an Indian living and fighting and marrying and dying as a Shwanee. He knew that he was not really as Indian remmbered something of his parents especially his mother and inquired concerning them from traders or other prisioners. The traders knew him as Joseph Ward as he had forgotten his given name he was given an Indian name which translated as White Wolf he married Sutaw Ny or Tame Dove. NOTE: I have more notes just have to give my fingers a rest Linda ********************************** Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly........

Does your Ward info mention where the Wards were before 1791? My James Ward b. in Va in 1759, had one known child also James. James was b. 1786 in Brunswick Va or Rutherford NC. He had a large family all born in RutherFord Co NC. He migated to Ga after 1840. Supposedly James Ward SR died abt 1789, possible that his son James was raised by Frederick Ward, but can find nothing on Fredrick's children. Barbara of Ca

Al Married Malinda (unknown) abt 1814 . Have 2 potential last names...Yowell and Gentry. Children: Martha Andrew J. James G. Lewis P. Issac G. Mary Catherine Father: John Ward b. Ireland This is what I have. I don't have a birth date on any of the children except Andrew. This is not my line of Wards I don't think.
