Hi, Well, My Ward line either has to fit in there somewhere or it is another one altogether. Mine came over the America in 1661 to either MD or VA. I have him being transported by Ambrose Dixon and family. But cant find what ship or where he came in. Im leaning towards VA because of what is stated in OLD SOMERSET OF THE EASTERN SHORE OF MD. I know he was born in Northamptonshire, Eng in 1638 and that is all. Have plenty on him after 1665.

Hello: Does anyone have info on the Ward line out of South Carolina? My GGrandfather John (yet another one) was born in SC and died in Hillsborough CO FL. His mother was named Priscilla and I don't know his fathers name (I suspect maybe Edward). Thanks, John ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

My Ward family dilemma starts in Indiana in 1843 - where a man named Joseph Ward married a woman named Nancy Ward. Joseph was born in Ky about 1820. He says his parents were both from Kentucky. Nancy was born in Indiana about 1828. She says her father was from NC and her mother from Indiana. This couple were married in Greencastle, Ind. and lived in Putnam Cty, Ind. until about 1860 when they went to Pike Cty, Il. There were several Ward families in Pike Cty, one was descendants if Abijah Ward who lived in Harrison Cty, Va, then went to Md and then on to Ohio. His descendants went to Pike Cty Ill. about 1840. I do not have the names of the parents of Nancy and Joseph so I do not know if they were kin to begin with, or it was just a coincidence that they were both named Ward. Their son Harvey was born in Indiana, fought in the Civil War with an Ill. regiment and named his first son (my grandfather) Charlie Melzer Ward. There was a Melzer Ward in Indiana who was born in NC and lived in Montgomery Cty, Ky before 1810 and stayed until about 1830. At that time he went to Indiana and, living in several counties, died in Hendricks County in 1858. Melzer evidently had some brothers named Cyrus, Joseph and Dillingham. They were the sons of a John Ward and after 1830 they split up and moved west to different states. If any of this fits in with any of your lines, I would like to hear from you. I have explored the Essex Cty, NJ line that also went to Indiana and then to Illinois but I cannot fit my family into theirs. Willing to share what information I have. Lynn Headley

I would also appreciate seeing the information on the Ward's that you have found. Thanks Murna ([email protected])

Does anyone have info on the Ward line that settled in NC?

To:Ward Lee Ward, I have found that within my Ward/Warde line that the 'E' was dropped shortly before or shortly after coming to America. I say America because my line came over from London, Eng in 1635, Before the United States existed. To: Kathleen Pantano I was not aware of FIVE Ward lines only THREE, But I must admit five would be more logical, with the way they spread out so quickly. The three I know are: The William Ward line, my line, which came over from London, Eng in 1635. The line that came over and settled in the Carolinas and the Third came over to the area we now know as Arkansas, as it really was not Arkansas way back then. Please let me know the Five lines that you know.

Thanks to Linda Whitley for posting the Ward info. I have two Ward lines, James Ward born 7-20-1788 married Mildred Clark Gentry and another James Ward, born 1803 In SC and married Lucinda Bias.

Zebulon Ward 1822 died in Little Rock Ar in 1894. Married Mary C Worthem of Harrison County Kentucky. At 21 years of age Zeb operated a steamboat business in Nashville TN> Then he spent some time in Cuba, returning at teh outbreak of the Mexican War so he could enlist. He became a 49er during the Gold Rush and made money returning to Covington KY where he again went into the steamboat business. In 1855 he lease the Kntucky Penitentiary and use convict labor to improve the state of Kentucky. When war was declared he joined the Union Army with his friend General J.S. Jackson. After the war he went back to Nashville TN where he lease the penitentiary and was successful again. Then he lived in Lexington KY for two years where he operated a steam bagging factory. In 1870 he went to Little Rock and obtained a 10 year lease on the penitentiary, built and was owner of the Little Rock Oil Mills ans was President of the Little ROck Missippi Railroad. When the lease expried he farmed and! raised stock. A description of William Ward Taller than most of his sons, slender and lithe, shoulders broad, high cheek bones, keen penetrating eyes, dark auburn hair tied with a black ribbon in a queue which hung gracefully down his back. Erect in person and particularly neat in his dress. He wore but one style of hat-black felt, moderatly high straight crown, rather broad brim sticking straight out and never turned up at the sides. his coats were generally of black cloth of the frock or surtout style. He rode on horseback with green flannel wrappers or leggins, as they were called, tied round below the knewws. When on horseback he kept time exactly with the movements of the horse. He was haughty, high toned, impatient of contradiction or restraint and arbitrary in his manners, as were many of the old Virginians who were used to having slaves obeying orders without hesitation or question. Some thought him tyrannical and exacting, but this was by no means the case. He was a gentlemanly man in his manners kind as a neig! hbor and liberal to those in need.

James Ward 1750 Botetourt County VA married Margaret Stevenson in 1770. Their son John Russel Ward was considered to be one of the great scientist of early Kentucky. THere were no medical colleges in Kentucky until 1816, so he taught himself the use of herbs at an early age, and developed medicines which he used in his practice to treat the settlers. While visiting his brothers in 1830 in Indiana, there was an epidemic among the Delaware Indians. Dr Ward treated them and was instrumental in so many cures that in gratitude they presented him with the Walam Olum-painted records which were the dky to the Delaware language. In 1829 He and his wife and three sonds moved to Fulton Calloway COunty Missisoui where he died in 1834. Andrew Ward 17787 Virginia. He married Elizabeth Headington. They sold their property in Kentucky in 1803 and went to Urbana Ohio. During the winter of 1806 thier son was stolen by Indians. It was there that Andrew enlisted in the service and was a private in Capt Bradfords Co 17th Regiment US Infantry. On May 5 1813 after seven day s of seige by Tecumseh and his Indians , Andrew was wounded the extent left his left arm useless. Because of this wound he recieved a pension from 1830 until his death. John Ward 1754 West Virginia. In 1757 John was taken by his parents to a place near Fort Dimwiddle . In early winter he was stolen by Indians. Two braves had stationed themselves on some high ground above his fathers property. From there they could observe the fort and also had a clear view of James Wards home and flour mill. which was not far distant. They watched James lift his oldest son up with him onto the horse and ride away to the mill. John then 3 years old is presumed to have started off unobserved following them toward the mill, no doubt hoping for a ride back home. The Indians then descendeed, picked up the child and carried him away. One of Johns great uncles wwa the first to give alarm. He followed Johns foot prints in the snow and could see the tracks of the Indians where they had come down the hill and picked him up. A search was made and the trail was plain for several miles until the Indians crossed to the other side of the ridge where the snow had melted. Joh! n grew up as an Indian living , fighting , marriying and dying as a Shawnee. He knew that he wwas not really an Indian remembered something of his parents, especially his mother, and inquired concerning them from traders or other prisioners. The traders knew him as Joseph Ward as he had forgotten his given name. John was given an Indian name which translated as "White Wolf". He married Sutaw Ny or "Tame Doe". MISC: Wards WIlliam Ward 1740 in Pennsylvania. He later lived in Virginia where he married a girl named Margaret. They moved to Kentucky in 1705 but retained their land in Greenbrier County. William eventually was called "William of Greenbrier" because of the time he spent traveling back and forth betwee these places. Margaret died frist apparently without children and William died in 1812 in Kentucky. John Ward 1745 in Pennsylvania was married twice. His first wife was named Polly but his second wifes name is unknown. John lived in the Buffalo Creek tax area from 1772 to 1774 then in 1775 he and his wife moved to Anthonys Creek in Greenbrier County WV. In 1785 he moved to Harrison County Kentucky. John died prior to 1835. He had several children only one is known---- Washington Ward. Washington Ward and his wife had three daughters one was Mary Elizabeth Ward who married Judge Joseph Doniphan of Augusta Kentucky, son of George Doniphan and Mary Marshall. John Headington Ward 1807 Hot Springs Ark. He invented the over head railroad, but in the time taken to register his patent, another inventor beat him out. Andres Harrison Ward studied at Transylvania College in Lexington until a cholera plague cut short his efforts. Then he entered the law office of James Curry Where he read law and practiced many years. He was recognized as one of the outstanding lawyers of Kentucky. He served in teh Legislature during the reconsturction period after the Civil War. He refused the Attorney Generalship of the United States as well as many other honors as he felt he could not do his career justice by accepting them. More Ward info later

Here is some of the info I found in the book I was reading today. James Ward JR abt 1700 Ulster Ireland. He married there and his wife accompanied him to America. They moved along with their three small sons to America in 1730. They lived in Pennsylvania for many years then on Sept 9, 1748 James sold the property there for the sum of 23 pounds. Since his son James III was married in 1749 in Virginia it is presumed that they went directly there even though James Jr was not mentioned in Virginia records for several years. Jmaes Jr settled near Augusta County VA. He was a member of the AUgusta COunty Militia and served during the French and Indian War in 1750. James Ward Jr and his wife were the parents of at least three sons: Joseph born 1723 and William born 1725 and James born 1727. Joseph Ward 1723 Ulster Ireland. He married Janet McMills in early 1740's in Pennsylvania. They moved with his parents to Virginia where they first settled in Augusta COunty. Joseph served in the French and Indian War with his father and two brothers.. He was listed as a member of Capt. Dickenson's Rangers in 1756-1757, and he was in the AUgusta Militia in 1758. He served in the CHerahee Expedition in the 1760's as well as participated in other Indian encounters. He received numerous land warrants for his Colonial military services the largest being 2,000 acres. On February 10,1763 Joseph and Janet purchased a 220 acre place on Pages Draft of the James River. This cost them 55 pounds 10 shillings. On August 20, 1776 they sold it as a loss recieving only 37 pounds. More Wards later Linda

Dear Kat, It is my understanding that there was a man named John Turner Ward whose lineage traced back to William Ward who lived at Sudsbury, MA. Robert Kline has a web page at http://www3.bc.sympatico.ca/robertkline/ where he covers this William Ward ancestry. According to my research, this John Ward is not to be confused with John "The Dishturner" Ward of the New Jersey Wards. If your lineage trancends through John Ward, Sr., through Mary, Elizabeth and Dorcas, then it's probably thru the Harrison family. Is that right? At least I have Dorcus Warde married to Joseph Harrison, Sr., and Mary Warde married to Samuel Harrison, Sr. I don't have Elizabeth Warde married to a Harrison but to Thomas Lyon, Sr. If your lineage also runs thru John Ward, Sr.'s, son Caleb, to Caleb, to Zebediah to Elizabeth (m. Wade), then this should be the Caleb Ward who married Mary Cooper? Funny, but I don't have anything on the children of Caleb Ward and Mary Cooper or that lineage. Which Josiah Ward is it you also descend through? To whom was this Josiah Ward married, Mary Allis Kitchell? If so, I have the following data on them which you might not have: 1) Josiah Warde, Sr., b.November 05, 1661, in Branford, New Haven Co., CT., d.April 16, 1716 in Newark, Essex Co., N.J. (married 1st, about 1683 to America Lawrence, 2 kids) (married 2nd, about 1688 in Newark, Essex Co., N.J.) + Mary Allis Kitchell, b.Abt. 1665, in Branford, New Haven Co., CT., d.Abt. 1713, in Newark, Essex Co., N.J. Children: 1) Samuel Warde 2) Josiah Warde, Jr. 3) Laurence Warde, b.April 04, 1694, in Newark, Essex Co., N.J., d.April 1783, in Branford, New Haven Co., CT. (married about Abt. 1732 in Bloomfield, Essex Co., N.J. 8 kids) + Eleanor Baldwin, b.June 1705, in Newark, Essex Co., N.J. 4) Robert Warde There's a great amount of confusion about the 2nd Lawrence Ward. If you read the same references I found, he had to have married his own sister, Elizabeth. ============= Anyway, my lineage goes like this: Myself, Ward Lee Ward My Father, George Truman Ward + Mary Agnes Rothers My Grandfather, Orin Joy Ward + Mary Catherine Allen His Father, George W. Ward + Laura Alta Rogers His Father, Joy Ward + Priscilla Hopkins His Father, Ambrose Ward, Jr. + Erutha Dodge His Father, Ambrose Ward, Jr. + Lois Meigs His Father, Peter Ward, Jr. + Deborah Buell His Father, Peter Ward, Sr. + Mary Joy His Father, Andrew Ward, Jr. + Tryal Meigs His Father, Andrew Ward, Sr. + Hester Sherman m.Feb. 01, 1624 His Father, ????? Stephen Warde + Joyce Trafford His Father, ????? James Warde + Anna Alice Fawkes His Father, ????? Robert Warde, Iii. + Isabel Stapley His Father, ????? Robert Warde, Jr. + Miss Copperdick His Father, ????? Robert Warde, Sr. + Alice Kemp His Father, ????? John De Warde, Jr. + Catherine Appleyard His Father, ????? John De Warde, Sr. + Elena De Bois This last one takes us back to 1406!! Myself and three other people who have the same Ward lineage have donated our data to the same web page at the following web address: http://bc1.com/USERS/LCHAMBER/WARD.HTM Good luck, Ward Lee Ward AKA [email protected] AND AKA [email protected] The Kansas "Genie" ================ Hi Ward, I would like to compare info but I need a couple of days to untangle a Ward/Cooper connection first so I can give you my undivided attention. John Ward, Turner is indeed one of my lines - his father is George Ward. This is the line I am trying to untangle now, I go through his son Caleb, to Caleb, to Zebediah to Elizabeth (m. Wade). I also descend through another son of George's (Josiah.) Through John Ward, Sr. I descend through Mary, Elizabeth and Dorcas. I have 2 Lawrences so far. One is brother to George above and had no children. The other b. 1710 d. 1793, son of Josiah Ward and Mary Kitchell, m. Elizabeth Baldwin. I haven't untangled the Ward/Trafford thing but have lots of conflicting info I really haven't analyzed closely yet. Who are your Ward's? Kathleen
