Hi List - Anyone out there with a Ward ancestor in Canada's Lanark County, Ontario, in the 1800s? I'm stuck on GGGrandparents Patrick Ward and Anne Keating, having problems placing them on a ship from Ireland. Please see my Ward page on RootsWeb's Freepages for more information! Thanks! Jim Ward http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jimward52/ward.htm

While the list is so active, I wish to add my WARD (my 3d great grandfather) once again hoping to find parents and siblings of his. Newitt WARD. born 1765 somewhere in SC. IGI lists his father as Newitt WARD, Sr. born England. Newit WARD, the younger, lived a few years in Warren County GA having a family of at least these children: Frederick WARD b1795 m. Mary Hayman b1893 GA Frances WARD b1796 m. // Pittman Jesse WARD b1811 GA, m. Delana Daniel b1819 MS (my gg grandfather) Newit Hobbs WARD b1814 GA, m. Anna Bourn(e) Lawrence Co.MS Elizabeth WARD b1818 GA m.William Ryley Askew b1812 in Jefferson Co.GA Newit WARD moved his family to Lawrence Co.MS by the 1820 Census. Newit WARD died at age 95 in 1860 in Lawrence Co. MS. (I mistakenly noted Lawrence Co GA instead of Mississippi in the earlier post) It was Mississippi! Does anyone tracing WARDs find any Newit(t) WARDs? If so please write me. Helen WARD Anderson

I sent this Sunday and received a notice back with no body to the message.I have no idea if it was received or not. John Ward. I have been reading a lot about the Southern Wards,of which I might well be a part, but at this moment I'm trying to learn more about my 4g grandfather William. According to the history of Pickaway County OH by Aaron R. Van Cleaf, written in 1906, (PPs. 431-432) "William Ward was born in Hampshire, England. His father, desiring that he should learn a trade, apprenticed William to his uncle Charles who did not, however, treat the lad as he deserved. He accordingly resented his uncle's mistreatment and ran away. He secured a place on an English vessel through a distant relative Commodore Ward of the English Navy. After making several trips across the ocean, he finally concluded to remain in this country despite the fact that Commodore Ward offered him every inducement to return to England. The Commodore's motive in constraining the young man to return to England was not wholly unselfish, for William owed the Commodore the price of passage across the ocean. It resolved itself into a case of 'Ward eat Ward' and terminated in the Commodore's selling the young man for an amount equal to the price of a passage across the Atlantic to a Mr. Snyder, a resident of Pendleton County VA. Between young Ward and freedom lay 10 acres of saplings and underbrush which he had to grub to secure his release from servitude. While engaged in working out his freedom, he became acquainted with a young woman named Nancy Courtney, whose birthplace was somewhere in Scotland and who, like himself, was working out the price of her passage to this country. After securing his own freedom, he assisted Nancy in her work and hand in hand they emerged from the gloom of servitude into the clear light of American freedom. Soon after this they were married. “To this union were born eight children -- six sons and two daughters. The sons were named: Charles, William, Robert, George, James and Richard. In the spring of 1802 the fact was brought home to Mr. Ward that greater opportunities presented themselves in Ohio than in the Old Dominion and accordingly he set out for what was then known as the Northwest Territory. In the month of May, 1802, he and his family, with their teams, working tools and household goods disembarked from a flatboat at Portsmouth, Ohio, from which point he set out in a northerly direction. He was not tempted to remain in Chillicothe, the early capital of the Territory, but continued on to the north to section 17, township 9, range 21 in what is now Pickaway County, through much of the journey having to cut a road through the dense uninhabited wilderness. Arriving at his destination, he located on the half section of land now owned in equal parts by his great-grandsons, Charles and James Ward. The old log house that was then built is still standing. Four generations have dwelt within its walls. Rain and snow have fallen on it. Winds and tempests have swept against it, but for a century it has withstood all. What mighty changes have been wrought since the old house was built. When its timbers were hewed in the forest, the greater part of Ohio was still uncultivated and uninhabited save by wild animals and the Red Men. They were happy people who lived in the old log cabin.

The above sketch is according to the "History of Pickaway County, Ohio, and Representative Citizens" pp 431-433, found in the Burton Historical Section, Detroit Public Library as well as the Pickaway County Historical Society. In the application of Mary Alice Stein for membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution, which was accepted, she wrote that William Ward and his brother came from England to get material for ships for their father who was a wealthy ship builder in England. The sons became interested in the cause of the colonists and fought with them against England. Because of this they were disinherited by their father. She says, however, that material was a family tradition. It is known that the two daughters of William and Nancy, Elizabeth and her husband, Leonard Propst, stayed in Ohio only a few years andthen returned to Virginia. Mary Ward died, either en route or shortly after the family arrived in Ohio. I'm seeking information about William's family. He was born Dec. 25, 1743 And his wife Nancy on March or April 4, 1744 or 1745.

I have traced back to Benjamin ward b. 1791 Easton Conn. married to Elinor? probably Wheeler. Son Benjamin Wheeler Ward b. 1816 Easton Conn. The 1670 census for Conn. lists 3 Johns, 4 Samuels 4 William Ward and 1 Andrew Warde . There has to be a connection?

I have been reading a lot about the Southern Wards,of which I might well be a part, but at this moment I'm trying to learn more about my 4g grandfather William. According to the history of Pickaway County OH by Aaron R. Van Cleaf, written in 1906, (PPs. 431-432) "William Ward was born in Hampshire, England. His father, desiring that he should learn a trade, apprenticed William to his uncle Charles who did not, however, treat the lad as he deserved. He accordingly resented his uncle's mistreatment and ran away. He secured a place on an English vessel through a distant relative Commodore Ward of the English Navy. After making several trips across the ocean, he finally concluded to remain in this country despite the fact that Commodore Ward offered him every inducement to return to England. The Commodore's motive in constraining the young man to return to England was not wholly unselfish, for William owed the Commodore the price of passage across the ocean. It resolved itself into a case of 'Ward eat Ward' and terminated in the Commodore's selling the young man for an amount equal to the price of a passage across the Atlantic to a Mr. Snyder, a resident of Pendleton County VA. Between young Ward and freedom lay 10 acres of saplings and underbrush which he had to grub to secure his release from servitude. While engaged in working out his freedom, he became acquainted with a young woman named Nancy Courtney, whose birthplace was somewhere in Scotland and who, like himself, was working out the price of her passage to this country. After securing his own freedom, he assisted Nancy in her work and hand in hand they emerged from the gloom of servitude into the clear light of American freedom. Soon after this they were married. “To this union were born eight children -- six sons and two daughters. The sons were named: Charles, William, Robert, George, James and Richard. In the spring of 1802 the fact was brought home to Mr. Ward that greater opportunities presented themselves in Ohio than in the Old Dominion and accordingly he set out for what was then known as the Northwest Territory. In the month of May, 1802, he and his family, with their teams, working tools and household goods disembarked from a flatboat at Portsmouth, Ohio, from which point he set out in a northerly direction. He was not tempted to remain in Chillicothe, the early capital of the Territory, but continued on to the north to section 17, township 9, range 21 in what is now Pickaway County, through much of the journey having to cut a road through the dense uninhabited wilderness. Arriving at his destination, he located on the half section of land now owned in equal parts by his great-grandsons, Charles and James Ward. The old log house that was then built is still standing. Four generations have dwelt within its walls. Rain and snow have fallen on it. Winds and tempests have swept against it, but for a century it has withstood all. What mighty changes have been wrought since the old house was built. When its timbers were hewed in the forest, the greater part of Ohio was still uncultivated and uninhabited save by wild animals and the Red Men. They were happy people who lived in the old log cabin. It was home to them; love was there, peace was on the walls and joy stood in thew door. Little children were born there and from its confines the souls of the father went up to God. How dear to my heart were the scenes of my childhood. Williams Ward died 28 November 1814 aged 71 years and his wife died December 1834 aged 89 years." The above sketch is according to the "History of Pickaway County, Ohio, and Representative Citizens" pp 431-433, found in the Burton Historical Section, Detroit Public Library as well as the Pickaway County Historical Society. In the application of Mary Alice Stein for membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution, which was accepted, she wrote that William Ward and his brother came from England to get material for ships for their father who was a wealthy ship builder in England. The sons became interested in the cause of the colonists and fought with them against England. Because of this they were disinherited by their father. She says, however, that material was a family tradition. It is known that the two daughters of William and Nancy, Elizabeth and her husband, Leonard Propst, stayed in Ohio only a few years andthen returned to Virginia. Mary Ward died, either en route or shortly after the family arrived in Ohio. I'm seeking information about William's family. He was born Dec. 25, 1743 And his wife Nancy on March or April 4, 1744 or 1745.

Please...Janet and Vikki, I have two James Wards I am looking for. One is James Ward born 1803 in SC m. Lucinda Bias born 1813 in Ky married in Boonesville, Ind. The other is james Ward born 7-10-1788 in Scv or Tn married Mildred Clark Gentry born 1-17-1791 in Jackson Co. Tn. The first one migrated to Texas, the second one to Arkansas.

Anyone out there heard of James Ward who lived in Oneida Co. NY in 1879? He introduced himself to Mr. Hamilton Ward, who was "stumping" for Attorney General (Of NY state I think) at the time, and said he was the lawyer's great-uncle. James was born in Camp Gaw NJ to Peter Ward and Nancy Mead. Peter's family was Scotch-Irish, Nancy's was from Holland. James had brothers Peter, John, Thomas and William, and three sisters, Jane, m. ISAAC BOGART of Camp Gaw; Catherine who married Stephen Sloat of Sloatsburg, NY and Mary, who married Abram Dater of Rockland Co. NY. //// My link to this family is just plain MISSING...any info or interest appreciated. Debbie in Ohio

I'm still hoping someone will be out there with a connection to my Wards in Allegany Co. NY...John Ward from NJ married Lydia Shepard from Ithica around 1830. In Belfast NY they had Lucius Ward in 1835. Lucius married Abigail J. ??, born Aug. 23, 1841, died Sept. 13, 1894. My great-gradmother was Elizabeth Ward Stephens, born 1867, died 1947. Eliz. apparently had a brother Amos who died in 1893. His wife was Rachel ??from Mt. Morris NY; Richard Ward, another brother I guess, died in 1893 at the age of 19. Also on the records: Effa Moore m. John Ward, had 2 unnamed daughters. I also think Eliz. had brothers named Randall and George. The earliest John I mentioned may have settled in western NY to be near a cousin/nephew?? HAMILTON WARD, a congressman from Allegany Co. Any links?

I grew up in the Baytown area and attended schools in the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District. Actually, three towns (Pelly, Goose Creek, and Baytown) were consolidated into one in 1948, and the new city took the name Baytown. Baytown is east of Houston on I-10. Glenda Rodgers Wyatt

Janet, sorry I'm just getting back. I've been out of pocket... Yes, I have James Ward b. 1672 in Ireland, but you have more info. I didn't have his wife, Sarah Rodgers, (thanks) I only had a list of the boys, James b. 1700, William b. 1702 and John b 1704. Am I missing anyone?

Beth, That's the problem--I don't know WHO my William's parents were. All I have is a list that has him as my great grandmother's second husband with his birthdate and their marriage date on it. My great aunt Minnie Ola (WARD) McMILLAN wrote everything down for a cousin who was interested in the family genealogy--but that was all the information about him. Aunt Minnie couldn't have been over ten years old when he "went on a business trip" and never came home. My grandmother (Minnie's sister) was no older than three. Wm had five daughters and no sons before he disappeared. The only reason I zero in on Arkansas as his state of birth is that I have him, ggrandma Ada, his stepdaughter and his two oldest daughters on the 1880 Cass Co, TX census and AR is listed as his birth state. My aunt Minnie died in 1970 in OK where she had lived for years--at least since the 50's when, as a child, I met her. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to look for me!
