Inga, I've a possible WARD from TN who settled in Alabama. She's Rachel (first name may also be Alla) WARD, b 1804 TN, m William WEEMS (1801 SC) and settled in Greene Co, AL. They're there from before 1830 until aft 1855. I don't know what happened to them. Next door in the 1850 Greene Co census is Mary WARD (1783 SC) and her (presumed) widowed daughter, Catherine Ward EDWARDS (1806 TN). Any of these familiar?

Hello Everyone, It has been a while since I have listed my WARD's soooooooo FYI Here are my WARDS from Ireland & Ohio James b 1815 aprox Ireland& Mary WARD Thomas Phillip John William Mary Ann Thomas b aprox 1836 Ireland& Bridget WARD Children born in Ohio, Thomas James Kattie Ann Mary Della Thomas WARD b 1860 Caroline MICHEL b 1861 Ohio Thomas b1882 William b 1884 Philip (Felix) b1887 Matthew b 1890 Muriel b1892 Helen b1894 Bessie b1896 Abbie b 1889 Thomas WARD and Williamenia RETTBERG Thomas b 1913 Robert b 1914 Carolyn b 1911

The Wards in my Family have a lot of the same names too!! Robert Ward who was married to a Sarah Elizabeth were married and living in Randolf Co. Alabama in 1850. His father was either Samuel or Wilson, (Wilson I think) they were brothers out of Virginia originally, and were born between 1790 and 1805. In 1860 the families had grown and the fathers lived with son's families in Randolph, Clay, Tallapoosa, and Elmore counties of Alabama. I heard (for the first time) at a reunion 6/17/00 that they were to have gone to South Ala. before coming back to central and north Alabama. The man I need is Frank Riley Ward. I believe he was the illegitamate son of Charlotte Ward who was listed in as a worker in a Pool room in Wedowee Al in the 1860 census. The family has been told he was born Frank Threadgill (no middle name given, no mother's name given) but one of the stories say he was the child of a recent immagrant (1850's) who was killed either in the civil war or building the Tom Bigbee Water way. The wife gave the child to the Ward's and returnrd to Scotland after the husband was killed. The more believable story says the child was given to the brother of the mother (Ward girl) and that brother went to the civil war leaving the child with a 1st cousin by the same name, (Robert Ward) who came back from the war and the cousin refused to give the boy back. I have found these Ward's with Frank (Threadgill) in 1870 census of Clay county Ala. they also had a daughter Charloote who was born in Miss. she was 19 and Frank was 21. Then he appears again as Frank Ward in 1900 census in Winston Co. Ala with his wife Joanna Kilgo and my grandfather who was born in 1891. If any Ward's or Threadgills can help me I would appreciate it! I would love for you to be family! Let me know> PLEASE

Hi, Regarding your Thomas Ward, not sure where mine was born, but he did live in Watauga Co., NC. His middle name is Duke he was born ABT 1871 he was married to Nancy J. Johnson. This is the only Thomas Ward I have.

Good morning Ward researchers- My great Grandmother was Alcidora Ward, b: TN 1851(her dau. married my Smith grandfather) daughter of Gideon Ward, Stewart Co.,TN son of Simeon Ward, son of Mercer Ward and Rhoda Horn; Edgecombe Co.,NC I just found another Ward connection in my family, my Smith grandfather's sister, Lara Delilah Smith- Ward -Andrews, (b: AL 1972-d: Greene Co.,AR) was married to 1st to Phinnes H. Ward. I have no additional info. on him but they had a child. Pearl Ward b. March 1889 m. Jim Pyland their children: V.L. ____ J.H. m. Bernice, one son Jimmy Chester_____ Winford_____ I figure this Phinnes H. Ward was somehow related to the rest of my Ward ancestors and cousins but I don't know how. Maybe the H. was for Horn??

Hey, Guys!!!! Don't forget about me!!!! I have been looking for a Thomas Ward - my grandfather - forever and 50 years. According to census records, he was born in TN. I have no idea about his family. I could belong to one of ya'll. He was born 4/15/1849 in TN and died 3/3/1919 in Lee County, MS. He is buried with his wife, Ada Estes, in the Saltillo Cemetery, Saltillo, Lee County, MS. There was some family rumbling at one time about a Nat Ward from Itawamba County, MS, who married a Catherine Whitten; it was said that he was a earlier family member as well. I KNOW that every male Ward on earth is named Thomas, but I wanna be family too! Let me hear from you! Bebe Roper Byerly Do you have any more info? I am looking for a Ward brother in this general area around the same time frame. The ones I am looking for came out of Virginia, did your Edward? One of these brothers was an Edward. The story was there were 5 or 6 brothers, one went to Tennessee, one went to the Carolina's, then on to Georgia , and the others to Georgia then on to Alabama (Where I want to find them) Some settled in Miss. and Arkansas. Family stories tell that the Ward Drug Chain in Texas was from this set of brothers. Do you think we have a match? Inga

It could be, as Edward had about 5 or 6 brothers and I think a couple of sisters. I will ask my husband if he knows which direction the others went. Thanks Mary

It seems like Delilah was a sister to Edward. Thanks Mary

I will get back with you in the AM Mary Thanks
