My Ward line is from Maryland. Thomas M. Ward b 1809 Married Caroline Ward Rowe in 1837 in Baltimore. His father was Thomas Ward b 13 Jan 1781 maarried Mary Anne. He died 23 Aug 1867. Both Ward's are buried in Greenmount Cemetery. His father was Thomas Ward as was his father before him. They were silversmiths and clock makers. Thomas Ward advertised in 1752 his business in Baltimore. This Thomas Ward's wife was named Elizabeth. Does anyone have any additional information on these Wards?

Hi again, Just to clarify, this white streak is from birth, and doesn't change over time, except to fall out, like mine did... My dad had it, and also my grandfather. Beyond that, I don't know. It comes from there being certain places on the individual's body that lack pigmentation, so the hair in those places is white. It could prove to be a genetic marker that could help establish connection. Thanks.

I looking for information on Patrick Ward who, according ot census and birth records of children, was born in Monaghan, Ireland. He emigrated before 1843 where his first child, Michael, was born in Chelmsford, MA in 1843. Patrick was married to Ellen McCoy. Whether they married before or after emigrating I do not know. According to the records, Ellen was born in Monaghan also. Patrick would have been born about 1818 and Ellen about 1820. Thanks, Bill Taff

My father was an incredible poet. He'd make up a poem at the drop of a hat, and they were wonderful. He also sang every chance he got. It was not unlike my dad to be singing and whistling often. He also sang on stage whenever he got the chance (he didn't get paid he just enjoyed it so). It brought back wonderful memories of my dad, Francis Thomas WARD (1922-1986), when I read many Wards were poets and singers. I'm so glad I found this list..thanks to all for sharing. Donna

I would very much like to receive the Ward coat of arms. donley77@aol.com thankyou Judy

I am looking for more information on Bernard Ward. This is the information that I have so far. He was born in the parish of Muckno,county Monaghan in 1770 and married Nancy Daly around 1800. They had at least 4 children: William(born around 1800) and Ann(born in 1812) and two other unknown children. Family tradition says that he migrated from Ireland to Scotland and had a successful cartage business. The tradition also says after several years the authorities told him that he had go back to Ireland or join the British army. I have his military records that show he joined the Black Watch in 1806 and in 1811 he was a member of the 6th veteran group in Royal Kilmainham Hospital. In 1827 he and his family migrated to York county, Ontario, Canada. His wife died in 1843 and he died in 1844. They are both buried in Elmbank cemetery near Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

My husband was always told that he was a third generation from County Galway. He and his family went over there when he was young so he doesn't remember much except that his father found records there. Of course, now I have burst his bubble because in researching his Ward side, I've made it back to his G-G-G-Grandfather and I am still in New Jersey. Also, we found it interesting that Ward came from McBaird, son of the Bard, and my maiden name is Bearden which is Bard. So, we've found out a lot of interesting things in our research.

G'day Rachel, I think you will find your Wards originally came from England and further back still from Normandy. The Normans were from Normandy which was a province of France and invaded England in 1066A.D. The name Ward loosely means "guard" . Therefore if you were Chris De La Warde you were Chris of the guard to distinguish you from all the other Chris's. My understanding is that some Wards went from England to Ireland in the very early days - 12th or 13th century - and founded what is to-day a very significant branch. My lot came from Dorset in England to Adelaide & Sydney in 19th century Hope this helps a little Chris in Adelaide, South Australia ----- Original Message ----- From: <AKRandR@aol.com> To: <WARD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, October 21, 2001 8:04 AM Subject: Ward roots

I have McCain. In fact there has been some talk that our last proven ancestors married an Indian but we can't prove it. We think her name was Sarah Box. The line is James McCain who died in Talladega Co, AL which we think is now Clay Co. about 1840. They migrated there from Marion and Franklin Co TN and four or five of the sons were born in Laurens Co., SC from 1802- 1811 and they left for TN about that time. Can you connect????

Hi all! My family is descended from England and then to Cecil County, Maryland. There were three original brothers, William, John and Henry. I'm descended from William's line. My father, Henry Davis Ward, Jr., was born in Nashville, Tennessee. There are lots family members with the names William, George and Robert. I'm in the process (probably never-ending!) of putting up some information that was passed on to me from some genealogy done by a relative in the 1890's. Please take a look and see if we might have some connections! I believe the family went in all directions - some to Virginia, Georgia, Pennsylvania, New York, etc. http://www.bcpl.net/~ellen/ward_family_tree.html Ellen Ward ----- Original Message ----- From: <ALHOME4U@aol.com> To: <WARD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, October 21, 2001 3:02 PM Subject: Re: Ward roots > Karen, > I have William in most every family of Wards!

"A coat of arms does not necessarily belong to a person just because some one of the same surname bore it. He must prove descent from the owner."
