Do you know if Dave Ward is descended from David Eli Ward who moved to the area of Millington from Madison Co TN in early 1800s I think?

My Wards are from Michigan. The farthest back I have is to my Greatgrandfather Melvin Ward, I don't know where he was born he married an Edna Ross. They had two or three children, on of which was my grandfather Glen Ross Ward, who was born in 1911. Any information that you can find on Michigan Wards would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Rebecca Batt Searching Surnames: Batt, Brynes,Gilbert,Kern, Mendelson, Peltier, Ross, Ward

Well, Linda, I'm afraid you may be buried in messages. Mine is a long way back: Margaret Ward (c1650-bef1678) married Pasco Foote in Massachusetts in 1668; Margaret may have been a daughter of one Miles Ward. Sources are Abram Foote's Foote Family History, Nathaniel Goodwin's Foote Family and Sidney Perley's History of Salem. I would be very thankful if you'd take a peek for these two on your microfilm.

My leg of the Ward family also came from Tennessee. this came as a surprise in my research when i found the leading Ward expert in Tennessee was my boss. Dave Ward, Millington, TN. The expression in his voice when his employee became his related cousin was fabulous. He also maintains the Ward Cemetery in Lucy Tennessee and i have been there to document and photograph many of the tombstones.

I am very interested in the information you have on Wards. My brick wall begins with my ggg grandfather, Newit(t) Ward b1765 SC, where, I do not know. He received a land grant in Warren County GA around 1790. His wife was Junicy ?? and their family was born in GA. From there they went to Lawrence Co. MS by 1820. In the 1870s they removed to TX where I grew up 3 generations later. Your generosity is mighty appreciated, and I'd be glad to help you with transcribing. God bless, Helen WARD Anderson Central TX

Thanks. I'm interested in any Wards from Conn. prior to 1800. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Spiritssong" <lwhit@alltel.net> To: <WARD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, November 22, 2001 10:09 AM Subject: Re: James Ward b. 1791 Sc > HI > I dont know if I can be of any help but I have a roll of microfilm on the > Ward family, it tells about them coming to America and the names and traces > their ancestry to a certain point.

My WARD family came from Ireland, and the name was changed at one point from MC WARD. I have only gotten back as far as my ggrandparents, John and Mary Ward, in Baltimore, Md.

I am interested in the information you have on the Ward's. My Ward's were in Ky in the early 1800's and then moved to TN. Thanks so much for sharing. Rosemary

Hi Linda, Thank you for offering to do look ups on the Ward Families. When you get time could you see if you have any info on Ward's coming to Maryland? The furthest back I have is Edward Ward died 1820 in Clarksburg Maryland. I have no proof but have been told that he came from England.

Linda, I can imagine that there will be plenty of interest in your microfilm! There are a lot of Ward brick walls out there! I would really enjoy reading your transcriptions. Thanks. JennyLee

Hi Linda, Just wondering. Is the microfilm restricted to only American WARDs? And what year range does it cover? My interest is Simon WARD b. abt 1755 in England Emmigrated to North America some time before 1781 when he married Rhoda MOSHER in Nova Scotia Canada. Thanks, Virginia (Ward) Bergmann Researching Hants County, Nova Scotia surnames: WARD, MOSHER, CALDWELL, LOWTHERS, BERRY _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

I would very much like to have any information on the WARD family line from which my grandmother, Buena Vista Ward descended. She was born in the late 1800s and married Buford Holston Thomas around 1917. They lived in the Lynchburg/Roanoke area of Virginia. Thanks for any assistance. RB Thomas, Jr.

Dear Linda, Thanks for offering -if anyone on the list wishes you to look for their Wards --- on your microfilm about the Ward family. Could you please look on your microfilm for my William WARD? My William WARD was born in England [date unknown] , married a woman born in Ohio [her name unknown] and had a son named Mahlon James WARD born 6 Nov 1837 /38 in Ohio <Findlay, Hancock co likely> or he was born in PA [conflicting info found]. I don't know where William WARD lived; I don't know if he had other children; nor have I been able to identify him on a census. Mahlon's children were named Zophar John, George, Anthony, Orion Orlando, Daniel, Emily Anne and Chauncey. George, Anthony, I too am most interested in the history of the Ward family and in knowing what's on your roll of microfilm on the Ward family --especially what it says about them coming to America -the names and the ancestry which it traces. The problem is -it seems to me there must have been hundreds of thousands of WARDS in Europe, -of which some emigrated to America. If you transcribe the microfilm for the list - I don't know how much of it I'll be able to read --because -- The surname lists send me such a volume of mail that often I can't read all of it. Then too I am receiving too much "spam" from advertisers who somehow found my email address.

Linda Our immigrant was Levin (Leavan) Ward who came to America in the 1700's with his young son, William. He was possibly a widower. He met a girl, Priscilla Price, on the ship, and married her when they got to this country. They moved to NC and had a large family, then William migrated to Indiana. Supposedly his father and stepmother came with him. Would love to know more about Levin. Have much to share about William! If you see that name would really appreciate hearing from you Thanks so much!!!! Barbara and Bob Ward

Hello , I would love to know more about the microfilm. I am still looking for James Hardy Ward b. 1803 m. Martha Lamar Adamson in Henry County,Ga. 1829. Thanks Rick

Hello Linda and List, I have hit my wall on Nathan Ward. He was probably born around 1755-60. I believe he was in Springfield, Vermont by 1783. I also think his son Cyril who married Irene Nott might have been born there. I would appreciate any info someone has. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving, Rachel Sperry

My Wards are Irish, and if the Wards you have are Irish would you contact me as I've been looking for a Irish John Ward aboout dob about1820's .Found in the Tippicanoe county abooout 1836 t0 40ish. Thankyou Judy

I am most interested in the history of the Ward family. While I don't know much at this time, I do know my gggrandfather was Simon Ward b in SC. Below is an outline of his family, my ggrandmother was the first daughter. I have been told that she spoke with an accent as her mother was Dutch or German. Also she was b in SC also. I don't have the year that James Ward (first son) was born but he was listed in the 1850 census of Richmond Co., GA. Simon Ward was there in the 1830 or before as he m in Richmond Co.. and he received a land grant about 1832. After 1850 Simon moved to Columbia Co., GA and was listed in the census. I am working on the idea now that he may have moved back to SC sometime after that and possibly died in SC. after 1870. I haven't proven that yet. I feel he is the son of or grandson of Theophilus Ward of SC. around Darlington and Marion Co.. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Linda, I too would like to "hear" more about the Wards you have on microfilm. My Wards moved into southern Alabama from(maybe) the SC area. From what I have so far, my line is Theophilus ,Thomas , David James, James Bascom, Monroe David, and my dad, Adolph. Thanks, Beverly
