Hi, I have successfully researched my WARD line back to 1790 in Bedford County, PA, but am now stumped. I am seeking to find the father and mother of Samuel WARD born abt. 1790 in PA. *I believe he was born in Bedford County, PA* He married Abigail ? who was born abt. 1800 in PA. They had the following children: Jeremiah WARD born abt. 1820 in PA John WARD born abt. 1824 in PA David WARD born abt. 1828 in PA Henry WARD born abt. 1830 in PA James WARD born abt. 1834 in PA Charlotte WARD born abt. 1835 in PA This information was taken from the 1850 Census for Bedford County, PA, Monroe Township. Any help and/or leads would be appreciated. Thank you. Diane

I am so far back in History that I have run into a wall and could use some help or kinfolk out there. I have: Elizabeth Jane WARD bn 4/24/1770 in Mifflin, PA, m. George D. Delong . Elizabeth's parents were: John WARD, Jr bn in Inishowen Peninsula, Donegal, IRE in 1704, d. abt 1793, m. Mary Campbell bn 1730 in Northern Ireland. The parents of John Ward, Jr were John Ward, sr bn1672 in Inishowen Peninsula, Donegal, IRE, d. 1759. John m. Sarah Rogers. Bev

I am looking for my husband's gggrandfather. The only information I have on him is from my husband's ggrandmother's death certificate. It shows her father's name as Wm WARD. She was born in TX Dec. 1859. Married Jan. 1879 in Navarro Co. TX Died Jan. 1932 in Wichita Co., TX Her name was Sarah ( Sallie ) Diane WARD On the 1900 Navarro Co. TX census she shows she was b. TX, father b. N.C., mother b. Indiania In 1910 and 1920 she shows her father was b. MO I have nothing on her mother or siblings. She married Sebron Green BERRY and they had five children, only 2 lived to adulthood and they were named George Sebron BERRY b. 1884,and Sarah Rebecca Ida BERRY b. 1881( my husband's grandmother). Even through she was born in 1859 and married in 1879, I have not been able to find her on a census before 1900

Julie, I live in Anne Arundel Co., Maryland and was wondering if you had any idea as to where it may be located in the county. I could then do some checking for you since I am close to the research area. I, too, am researching the WARD line, but it is out of Bedford Co., PA. Take care!! Diane

could this help you? From some old notes, I found this taken from a Abstract of Rev War Pensioners, in the local library : Samuel Ward - VA Line S32047, in Lunenburg Co. Va. at enl. He applied 3 Sep 1832 in Oglethorpe Co.., Ga. age 79 years. Frank

Ellen, Thank you so much for helping. I will be anxiously awaiting your reply later.

Hi Diane, Thank you so much for responding so quickly. I am in Montgomery Co. So far all of my Ward's have been from Montgomery Co. too, all the way back to Edward Ward dieing in Clarksburg in 1820. The man in the Willow Bend Bookstore must have had 10 books on the counter trying to show me how to trace my line back further. He was going so fast that I couldn't keep up. I only know that when he looked in a green hardback book for the track of land "Ward's Inheritance" he said it was originally in Anne Arundel Co. I am going back up to the book store this coming Friday to pick up some other supplies and I will try to find that book again. He also said that he thought Anne Arundel split and Frederick Co. came from it. Then in 1776 Montgomery Co was formed from Frederick. But everything I have read says Frederick was formed from Prince George. I have no idea if Prince George Co. was formed from A.A. My thinking tells me to try to find an abstract will book for A.A. Co. and look for any Ward leaving "Ward's Inheritance" to another Ward. Thank you for trying to help. Did your Ward's come thru Md. to Pa.?

s been a while since I've posted my WARD brick wall. If anyone has a connection, please contact me. (Phew...! When I re back over all I typed here, its a lot. Hope ya'll don't mind.) Charles WARD born 15 May 1805 in Allegany County, New York (I think). (Have found no record of him there. Do not know his parents. First record found so far is in Adams County, Illinois on 17 August 1836 where he married: Martha BURKE born 11 March 1816 in Russel County, Virginia daughter of John BURKE and Rebecca VERMILLION. After purchasing land from his in-laws, Charles and Martha had their first 7 children in Adams County, Illinios: 1. Martha Jane born 5 August 1837 died October 1839 2. William J. born 15 October 1839 married America BEARD 6 July 1871 in Knox County, Missouri 3. John B. born 10 February 1841, died 29 May 1924 Knox County, Missouri, married (1) 2 September 1869 Jossephine BOLTZ in Knox County, Missouri, married (2) 10 October 1917 Clydie Mae PAINTER in Knox County, Missouri. 4. Isaiah A. born 4 October 1842, died about 1916 near Tulsa, Oklahoma, married Mary Kathrine Christensen 5. David C. born 8 August 1844, died 24 December 1916 Knox County, Missouri, married 28 May February 1847 Almira Lingenfelter in Knox County, Missouri NOTE1: All the names of Charles and Martha's children shown here were found in an old WARD family bible. In addition to the 8 numbered here, there were two other names listed in this relative position (a) Milton S. WARD, birth date of 25 April 1848 and (b) Newton T. WARD, birth date of 25 April 1848. See NOTE 2 below for additional discussion on these two names. 6. Harvey Z. born 20 December 1849, married 2 May 1872 Rachel Annie BOLTZ in Knox County, Missouri 7. Granville born 1 September 1852, died 12 February 1904 in Quincy, Illinois. Charles and Martha's 8th child and my grandfather, was born in Knox County, Missouri (see below) where Charles purchased 160 acres near Millport, Knox County, Missouri (originally called Millford). The farm was about 6 miles ea st of Baring, Missouri on County Hiway K , near the intersection of Hiways M & K. In 1975, the farm home still remained standing althought it had been remodeled and changed some. Charles is buried at the Millport Christian Church Cemetery, in Knox County, Missouri. 8. Henry Harrison born 15 January 1859, died 30 September 1929 in Callaway County, Missouri, married 13 September 1932 Viola Bell ENO in Vinita, Oklahoma. I have more info on the children of many of these people. Would sure appreciate hearing from anyone with a possible connection to any of these families. NOTE2: The individuals Milton S. and Newton T. have never been thought of (although I could certainly be wrong) as children of Charles and Martha (Burke) WARD for several reasons. (1) No other records related to this family have ever been found referencing these two names. (2) An old family tale was told about one of Henry Harrison's children by his much younger wife of American Indian blood (my grandmother). Supposedly Henry's 7th child had some very special healing powers and the reason given, was this. He was the 7th son of a 7th son; meaning that Henry Harrison was a 7th son. Now, whether or not the child had these healing powers is of course not knowm, but the story does strongly suggest that Henry was the youngest of 7 boys. If so, then who are the other two (Milton S. and Newton T.) listed in the bible? (3) There was another person listed at the end of the children's list named Caleb G. WARD born 2 Sept 1835 in Indiana. This child turns out to be the 2nd son of a Zebediah Ward, also born in New York about 1825 and his wife Martha ?. Although not listed in this bible, they also had William H., Samuel J., and Lydia A. and all of these children were born in Indiana. I have always suspected but not proven that this Zebediah WARD and family were close relatives of my Charles WARD. I do know that they lived just north of my Charles WARD in Hancock County, Illinois from the early to mid 1800's and moved to Knox County, Missouri at the same time that my Charles did in 1856 where they all joined the same church. The records found to date indicate that my Charles was born in Allegany County, New York in 1805 and showed up in Adams County, Illinois in 1836, where he married and had a relatively large family. But, according to an old family "hand-me-down" story just recently found, Charles migrated to Illinois sometime during that 1805 and 1836 time frame, by riding a mule from West Virginia to Golden, Illinois. Golden is in fact, in Adams County, Illinois but this is the first time I've ever found anything that suggest Charles might have been in West Virginia at an earlier age. Does anyone have any record showing a Charles Ward or a child of some family of WARDs that's about the right age, in the counties of West Virginia during that time frame? Would sure appreciate hearing from you, if so or if you have any suggestions. And again, please forgive me for being so wordy, here. Carl W.

Hello List, I am looking for any info on a track of land called "Ward's Inheritance" in Anne Arundel Co., Md. Pre-1800. I am in search of the parents of Edward Ward of Montgomery Co., Md. Edward died in 1820 in Clarksburg, Montgomery Co., Md. He left a track of land called "Ward's Inheritance" to his heirs. "Ward's Inheritance" was in Anne Arundel Co., Md. I was told this by a man at the Willow Bend Book Store in Westminster, Md. He looked up the track of land and found it in Anne Arundel Co., Md. If anyone can help solve this mystery I would appreciate it very much. Thank You, Julie Trail __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Patrick Ward was born about 1815 in Ireland. He married Johanna O'Connell, born about 1818, in Ireland. She married first to Michael Culbert and they'd had Mary, born in 1837, and Ellen, born 1840, both in Lancaster Co., PA. Patrick and Johanna are together by 1845 when their first child, Thomas, was born in Schuylkill Co., PA. John was born in 1847, Margaret in 1849, Peter William in 1851, Mathew P. in 1853, and Alice 1856, all in Schuylkill. Family in LaSalle, IL by 1860 census. Patrick dead by 1865 LaSalle State census when Johanna is head of household. She and children are listed on 1870 Bloomington, McLean, IL census. Alice and John died young. Mary Culbert Ward married Thomas McGrath abt. 1861. Ellen Culbert Ward never married. Margaret Ward married Thomas Hughes in 1873. He died in 1876 and Margaret disappeared. Mathew Ward married Ann M. Hammond in 1880. Peter Ward married Ella VanBuskirk about 1879. Thomas Ward disappeared after 1870 census. Johanna O'Connell Ward disappeared after the 1876 Bloomington City Directory. Have lots more Ward info to share. Would like to find where in Ireland Patrick and Johanna were born and where and when they died. Thanks Barb

Hello, I just joined the group last night, so am hoping someone might be able to help with my mystery Ward! His name was William, but I don't have any birth or death dates for him. He was married Oct. 15, 1835 in Fayette Co. Ga. His wife was a Clarissa Pearson, b. 1808 in N.C. I don't know the name of her father, but her mother's name may have been, either Yeona, or Uney Pearson, but don't have a maiden name. Their children were: James Ward. b. abt. 1836 Ga. Thomas Ward. b. abt. 1838 Ga. Wilson Lumpkin b. abt. 1842 Al. My direct line I believe they migrated over to Randolph Co. Alabama, as the Yeona or Uney was listed in the 1850, and 1860 census living in the household. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I can't find who my William belongs to. Thanks so much, Becky Carden, rec@hiwaay.net
