Cindy, Does this William Ward have a brother named Thomas? My Thomas married Elizabeth Sanders/Saunders (b. abt 1803) in Tazewell County, Virginia in 1821. I found her in Johnson County Kentucky in the 1860 census with 3 children and no Thomas. I have been told that Thomas was born in Maryland, but I have no further info on him. Would appreciate your checking. Thank you, Linda --- cindy <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Wally, > Yes, I believe your William is descended from the > same family as mine altho I cant > really prove anything yet.

Maj. John Ward 1773-1850 married Nancy Bowen. She was born in 1780 and died in 1833 in Arkansas. On October 22, 1796 David Ward conveyed to John a 162 acre parcel of land from his land grant. John received an additional 41 acres adjoining their farm in 1801. He was the Tazwell County Clerk from1801-1805. Also in 1801 he was appointed Major in the 2nd Battalion of the 112th Regiment, but he resigned his commission in 1803. He was described as a farmer and a teacher. He represented Tazwell County in the House of Delegates in the sessions from 1812 to 1815 and again in 1825-1826. Hew was in charge of the 1800 Federal Census for Tazwell County and appointed two of his sons-in-law William Barns and Robert Gillespie as census takers. Johns brother, David Ward Jr. had left the state many years earlier and had settled in Arkansas. He was undoubtedly instrumental in John's move to the same state. By 1834 John, Nancy and most of their children had moved to Arkansas. Nancy died there.In ! 1850 John was still in the county living with his son Augustus but no later record has been found. Augustus Ward born in 1815 died in 1872 was one of the early leaders in Clarkesville Arkansas. He helped plot the town, organize the Masonic Lodge, the Presbyterian Church and the Sunday Schools. He also spent 14 years as the County Clerk. He was very much the humanitarian, taking orphaned and afflicted children into his home. He and JW Woodward, a deaf mute, were responsible for the organization of the first deaf mute Institute in teh state. Insufficient funds necessitated it relocation in later years at Arkadelphia and later still in Little Rock Arkansas. Blind Bob Ward, his brother David's son, lived with him after the death of Bobs parents. Augustas and Bob organized a Blind School initially located at Clarksville. Alexander Washington Ward born in 1819 in Tazwell VA died in 1899 in Ozark County MO. Sometime between 1852 and 1855 Alexander and his wife Jane moved to Lawrence County MO. However, when the war between the states began, Alexander found that he sympathized with and believed in the principles of the Union. He found that while arguing the issues to the point of estrangement from his own father, he did not relish firing real live bullets into an army of ex neighbors, friends and relatives. He wanted neutrality but no one could be neutral in Missouri. As soon as possible Alexander and his family moved back to Inidana and on May 27th 1863 he purchased land near Lyons, in Green County. When peace was restored they returned to Missouri where Jane died. In the fall Alexander married Catherine Muse a widow with five children. Evidently the marriage was not generally accepted by his children as his three oldest children left home to live with a recently married brother. The marriage didnt work out and by 1880 he had separated, he eventually died at the house of his son George Ward. Alexanders son Charles Ward born in 1845 in Indiana died in 1906 in Whitman County WA. Married Tennessee Caroline Brelan. After their marriage, Charles and Tennessee lived on a farm in GreeneCounty MO where their first child was born. Charles was an expert fiddle player and was much in demand at dances. He was also a competitor in track events and was once broadjump champion of Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas. He as well as many others of teh Ward relatives suffered from teh wander lust.

David Wards Will I David Ward of Tazwell County and State of Virginia being in perfect health of both body and mind but calling to mind my advanced age, and the uncertainity of life in every person thereof, I do hereby make and ordain this my last will and testament in the manner and form following: I give to my wife Eleanor Ward one third part of the plantation whereon I now live. Containing about 400 acres, one third of the improvements, on said land, together with dwelling house and the other buildings and said improvements I wish to remain in the posession of my wife during the term of her natural life to be enjoyed by her without interruption or molestation and at my wifes decease my will is that the aforesaid 400 acres of land with the appurtenances to be considered as equally the property of Isaac Ward, Hiram Ward, and Addison Ward to be by them enjoyed as co-heirs to them their heirs or assign forever. I give unto my son Rees Ward a tract of land ajoining the aforesaid tract of 400 acres, which by estimation contains about 100 acres, and has been usually called Isaac Moores Ridge this tract to be divided from the 400 acre tract by a Creek above the ford next to John Burks and to run somewhere near a northwest course straight line till it intersects the line of Geo! rge Grubb, and along Grubbs line to the line of William Ward and along the several course of the same rount to the beginning to be held by the said Rees Ward as his legal property to him, his heirs, or assigns forever. I also give my wife Elanor Ward on third part of my personal Estate after my just debts are paid and is to be considered as her absolute property and to be disposed by her at her decease by will or in whateber she may think proper. And as tot he balance of my personal Estate should anything remain after my debts are paid, I wish an equal divide to be made among my four daughters viz - Jane Ward, Nancy Ward, Phebe Ward and Matilda Ward. And whereas some of my daughters may have acquired some small personal property by their own industry since they came to full age, if that has been the case, I do not wish to consider that as any part of my personal estate, but only such as been obtained by me before my daughters came to mature age. My will also is that as two of ! my sons are so far under age that they have not been educated as I could, my desire is, that my wife, my son Isaac and all my daughters should contribute according to their abilities to have my two youngest sons taught Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic so as to enable them to do common business. And lastly I hereby constitute and appoint my wife Eleanor Ward my whole and sole executor of this my last will and testament and shouldit not be absolutely necessary for the payment of debts I should recommend doing the business without sale or anything more than returning an inventory to court but if the payment of debts make it necessary the usual mode must be resorted to and I do hereby utterly revoke every former wil and testament. In witness thereof I have herunto put my hand and affixed my seal this twelfth day of May in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty one. David Ward Signed sealed and delivered published pronounced and declared in the presence of William H Clancy, Samuel Corel, Joshua Corel

Hi - I joined about two weeks ago and have finally decided to post my line as I know it so far. The talk of five separate lines has me very interested. I don't find a connection with the three which have been mentioned. Moses is reportedly a Loyalist, having moved to Canada after arriving in America. He and his wife were married in Ernestown, Ontario, Canada, 1802. This whole line eventually traveled cross country to Utah with the Mormons. Anyone see anything familiar below?

Hi List, Does anyone have any Ward's in SC in the late 1700's who could be the family of my Isaac b. ca1782 & possibly Thomas W. Ward, b. ca1775. I have not been able to find anything on Isaac so I'm wondering if possibly that was his middle name & he dropped the first. Someone else told me that Thomas was actually William Thomas Ward. These two lived very near each other in Tuscaloosa, AL after coming from GA, We are inclined to believe they were brothers.

Dear Cindy, William, and Wally, I am intrigued by your Somerset, Maryland (Ambroise Dixon) to Frederick Co., Maryland to Ohio connection. Do any of you have a naming pattern of Seth, Moses, Timothy, Aaron, and Rhoda in your families? My Wards came to Washington County, later Belmont County, Ohio in the 1790s before it became a state. They were early pioneers. I would be interested in any connection. Linda

I sure would like to know which line of Wards mine came from. I have a James Ward b. 1803 in SC m. Lucinda Bias b. 1813 in Ky. They married in Booneville, Ind. 9-4-1831 and later migrated to Texas and died there. My second james Ward b. 7-20-1788 in SC or TN m. Mildred Clark Gentry b. 2-17-1791 in SC or TN. They migrated to Arkansas in Clark Co. and died there.

Well, with all this talk of these 3 to 5 Ward lines coming to America, I guess I'd better mention mine, which I haven't done in a while on this list. My Ward line comes from Allegany County New York. His name is Charles WARD. I have Bible records that show he was born there in 15 May 1805. I don't know the names of his parents. The fiirst place that I've found him officially is in Adams County, Illinois where he married a Martha Burke on 17 August 1836. The Burke family is from Russell County, Virginia. Charles and Martha had all but one of their children in Adams County, Illinois. The last one, my grandfather, was born when the family moved to Knox County, Missouri in about 1865. The children's names were Martha Jane, William J., John B., Isaiah A., David C., Harvey Z., Granville, and Henry Harrison (my grandfather). There is an old "hand-me-down" story that "Charles rode a mule from West Virginia to Golden, Illinois and there, he married Martha. They later crossed the river at Canton and settled on that hill at the south side of Little Bridge Creek, north of Knox City." Golden is in Adams County, Illinois and Little Bridge Creek is in fact, where my Charles lived in Missouri. I've never been able to find any reference to my Charles in Virginia, West Verginia or Allegany County, New York. There was a Zebediah Ward living near by my Charles in Adams County, Illinois and moved to Knox County, Missouri at the same time my Charles' family moved. Zebediah's family all joined the same church that my Charles' family join in Missouri, also. I've never been able to prove it but have always thought that this Zebediah was related, maybe a brother or cousin, to my Charles. If anyone sees any connection of my Charles WARD to any of these 3 to 5 lines that came to America or for that matter, to any of your WARD families, I'd sure appreciate hearing from you. Thanks Carl WARD

Hello, I find the following information intriguing since I married a Ward 43 years ago! I've not researched them yet, so I have only verbal history from family members. It is interesting that you say there were 3 (or 5) original lines immigrating to America. My husband's family, so far as I know, were in GA, AL and FL from mid 1800's on. His grandfather, John Calvin WARD (18 Oct. 1879 - 14 Feb 1962), was a Primitive Baptist Minister who married Lila Elizabeth WEED (6 March 1881, Chattahoochee Co., GA - 13 Jan 1969, FL). They are both buried in the WEED Cemetery, Crenshaw Co., AL. I would be Interested in any information you would share that might lead me on the right track. I intend researching in AL next month. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have Wards in Western NC. I begin with Benjamin Ward born not sure if the information I have is correct, most of the information is taken from a Ward book written by a cousin. Benjamin was born ABT. 1740 he moved to NC he married Selah not certain of last name, but some think it may have been Duke. Benjamin died 4-17-1820 in Cove Creek, Watauga Co., NC. I have some of his children. If you need more info to make a link let me know any names, dates, and/or locations you have. If anyone else here has information or would like more just let me know. I have been trying to find the father of Benjamin but no luck, does anyone have any ideas?

Hi Wally, Yes, I believe your William is descended from the same family as mine altho I cant really prove anything yet. I have a William b Apr 26, 1780 in Somerset, Md. I am going to have to do a little more searching because I dont have enought to really give you. My William was born to Thomas and Hannah Sterling and I have that he married a Sally ? ( which could be wrong). I have found an article that I will be getting ahold of within the next week that somebody did back in 1929 on my line of Wards and covers about 6 generations. Hopefully, that will explain some of the missing pieces for both of us. I have someone in Md that I can write to ask a few questions of too. Hang in there, I will try to find out more for you.

Hi Cindy, Thanks for the response. I have a William WARD, b. abt 1775 married to a Mary Elizabeth MILLER, b. 1776. William worked for Norman Bruce, as the foreman on his plantation located near Graceham, Maryland (near Thurmont, Maryland) in Frederick County. Williams daughter's, Sally, b. 1799 and Mary, b. 1801 are listed as being christened at the Moravian Church, Graceham, Maryland in 1802. In 1806, William and his family migrated to Frostburg, Maryland. I have suspected that the William is not the first Ward to settle in America and that he was from eastern Maryland originally. I find your account of migration from Somerset to Frederick interesting. This is the first account that I have heard of that describes such a move. It is possible that William would have been descended from families that made such a movement. I would be interested to know if any of your family members had a child named William in Frederick about 1775.

Hi, My Ward line settled in Md in 1663 before Somerset became a county. What Wards do you have? Maybe I can help. My Wards moved up to Frederick in about the early 1700s to middle.

Forgive me, but I am a beginner. Are there just three to five lines of Wards that settled in the United States? If that is so, which line would have settled in Frederick, Maryland in the later 1700s? I am having a very difficult time working in the 1700 time frame. Any suggestions would be most welcome.
