Since quite a few seem to be talking about WARDs from Tennessee and Arkansas, I'll take a chance and post once again. My ggrandfather, William Estes WARD b.20 Nov 1852 in Arkansas (1880 Cass Co, TX census), m Ada Elizabeth (JARRELL) PHARIS 9 Dec 1874, ?TX. Ada came to the marriage with a daughter, Ella PHARIS abt 3 1/2 yrs old, born in LA. Wm and Ada had five girls: Texanna b. 9 July 1875 (married HODGES), Minnie Ola b. 31 Mar 1878 (m McMILLAN), Willie b. 5 June 1880 d 8 Aug 1880, Birdie Effie b. 25 Feb 1884 (m SHERILL) and my grandmother Ethel Daniel b. 18 Oct 1886 (m R.F. SAMS Denton Co, TX 1902). He disappeared in TX aft 1886 on a 'business trip' (He may have been a Bible salesman, but was listed in the census as a farmer) and never came home. I need 1) confirmation he was born in Arkansas 2) any information about his parents and siblings. If this is familiar to anyone, PLEASE contact me! Even if you can only point me in the right direction--please do!!! Samantha California

Hello Distant Cousins- My WARD line came from Ireland around 1840-1860 and settled in Ohio. Thomas and James WARD. Could this be another WARD line ??????????? Happy Hunting! Susan PI (Ward) BEDFORD, BEUCUS, CASPERSON, CHRISTENSEN, HOCH, MAJOR, MORRIS, MICHEL, RETTBERG, WARD

Once again, I'm still looking for the parents of Issac A. Ward (1804-1874) m. to Emily McGee (1816-1873). In 1840 they were living in Henderson Co., TN and by about about 1845 had moved into eastern Texas. They both died in Hunt Co., TX but had previously lived in Wood and Rusk Counties. Their children were: J.A. (Jerry), John Jasper, N.H. [female], Issac A., Jr., Margaret M, Garrison, Cora Jane and Mary S. Ten years searching and not found yet. John Poole Houston, TX

John, Have you checked on the possibility that these Ward's were Native Americans?? My Ward line came from TN to AR. I have been looking for a Michael Ward, b. 1812, TN. He had a grandson named Issac Calvin Ward, b. 1870, Hempstead Co., AR, married 1889 Susan Ebling. We have not been able to find Native Am. paper trail for this family, but an elder cousin who knew Michael's son Willis Washington Ward, b. 1846, says Willis was part Cherokee, part Choctaw and the rest black Dutch. So I think my Ward's "headed for the hills" long before the "Trail Where they Cried" Just a thought I decided to share. Anyone with a Michael in TN have one born 1812?? I have a list of Michael's children. Julia ----- Original Message ----- From: John W.

Those of you who have some ancestors in eastern Virginia and NC - wonder if you connect with a branch of Wards described in these paragraphs: When Hamilton Ward was five years of age (cir. 1834) the family removed to Green Spring Plantation, near old Jamestown, in James City County, in the State of Virginia. This plantation was owned by Robert and John Ward, who had become men of some property, and who also owned a line of schooners which ran from the plantation and other ports in VA to New York City; it was sold by Robert in 1886. Green Spring was a historic spot. It had been the home of Sir William Berkely, the bloody royal Governor of Virginia, and a number of his successors, Famous men of the Colonial period were buried there...Old Jamestown was but founr miles distant, and Williamsburg but eight miles..... Hey ancestor hunters, do you realize what that real estate would be worth now? It's right near Busch Gardens, Williamsburg..and my Ward ancestors didn't leave me didlysquat! Deb

Dear Ward Lee Ward, This doesn't look like my husband's line, but I'll keep it (and you!) in mind in case something turns up that connects them. I just discovered that John Calvin WARD's fa/mo were Thomas J. Ward (died 20 Apr 1933) and Mary Alice (Carroll) WARD (born possibly in Red Level, Coffee Co., AL, died 30 Dec 1939). I know that they were in AL and FL and possibly GA. All the ones I know were "Southern Born" (me, too). Their migration route is a mystery. There could be some "Yankees" in there! My brother-in-law knows more about them than my husband and we expect to see him in about three weeks. We'll compare notes. Thanks for your help. I appreciate your taking the time to reply. Lucy Ward

I've just began researching my grandfather's line. His name was Dr. S. P. Ward - born: 28 AUG 1825, Rising Sun, Ohio County, Indiana, died - St. Landry Parish, Louisiana. His parents were Aaron Ward - born: date unknown, Newark, Essex County, New Jersey, died - 1840, Canton, Fulton County, Illinois. Martha - born: 16 JAN 1791, Newark, Essex County, New Jersey, died - 20 JUL 1844, Canton, Fulton County, Illinois. Any information would be greatly appreciated. regards, Mike

Here is my Ward family: Benjamin West Ward b. 1782 d. Jan. 17, 1856, in Elkrun Twp. Columbiana Co. Ohio. He was born in MD, married Armfield Cooper Morgan Oct. 30 1815. Armfield Cooper Morgan was born in Harford Co. MD. b. April 6, 1794, d. Dec. 29, 1874 in New Lisbon, Columbiana Co. Ohio. They moved to Columbiana County Ohio in Dec. of 1824.

Mike, Do you have any other information on Aaron Ward? Especially any brothers and/or sisters, or possibly parents? I've got a stubborn Ward ancestor that will not let me trace him back! He's the ever-elusive Abraham P. Ward, that I'm beginning to think was transmogrified in NJ without benefit of parents!!
