I would be interested also as MY ggrandfather was a John Ward and his son Thomas Ward. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Judy, did any of your Wards migrate to Richmond or/& Columbia Co., GA? Do you know of a Simon Ward who was in Richmond Co., GA in 1830's maybe before that. I am trying to connect him to a family. There was a John Ward in Richmond Co that moved to Columbia Co., GA. I believe he had a son John P. that also was in Columbia Co. Are these Wards or Simon in your family? Simon was b in SC according to the census records . Beulah Brm1945@aol.com or: GrannyMc@aol.com

The website did not list where they lived. I have ordered the book "The Life of General Francis Marion" from interlibrary loan in hopes it will have more info on these Ward men who served General Marion in the Revolutionary War. Dinah

Rochester Daily Union and Advertiser Rochester, Monroe County, New York JUNE 18, 1900 Page 3 Funeral Notice — John WARD died last night at St. Mary's Hospital, aged 23 years. He is survived by his mother, widow of the late Michael WARD, two brothers, Patrick T. and Thomas H., and one sister, Mary B. The remains will be taken to the family residence, No. 98 Whitney street, from where the funeral will be held.

My earliest Ward is John K. Ward, born around 1805 in Truxton, Cortland Co., NY. John married a Mary "Polly" Bradway around 1826/27 possibly in Cazenovia, Madison Co., NY (this county may be wrong). I cannot seem to locate his parents or siblings. Would appreciate any help anyone can give me. Some say his father was Leonard Ward, but I cannot be sure of it. Linda K. Tennant linkten@usadatanet.net

As a sideline to my Greenstreets, I have the following in case someone is looking for him. William WARD bn 13 Sep 1804 in Virginia died 25 Oct 1875 Macon County, MO. He was married 15 Nov 1828 to Phoebe GREENSTREET bn 1808 Green County Kentucky, died 1884 in Macon County, Missouri. Do not have his parents just hers.

I am not sure if yours links with mine or not. My Louis Ward was born 1850 and married Elizabeth Johnstone. They had 10 kids. Thomas Henry the oldest followed by Aubrey, Blanch, Louis, William, Susan, Ellen, Agnes, Joseph and Winnie. All of the children where born in Halifax. My line is the Thomas line and I have it all the way down. What I do not have is Louis Ward Sr. fathers name. It is possible that the two lines are connected I just do not know where. My line of Wards where in Halifax from 1850 through the 1918 or about. I know that Thomas was naturalized in 1918 in Mass.

Solomon's wife Lucretia and two daughters from the PEI Census are found later in the 1900 Census for Haverhill, Essex, Mass, without Solomon, but with a third daughter (who is my great-grandmother) born in Massachusetts. The date of emigration/immigration is reported as 1882. Any connection to your line?

His father, James WARD, believed to have built the WARD HOUSE, oldest private home in Digby, abt 1794.

My WARD line doesn't go back very far, except for speculation. DAVID WARD was born March 16, 1847 in Belmont County, Ohio. He died November 27, 1927 in Vienna, West Virginia. David WARD married Lucinda PARK in 1867. Lucinda Park was born December 12, 1851 (dau of James and Elizabeth Park) and died in August 1936. David and Lucinda WARD are buried in Mt Olivet Cemetary, Parkersburg, WV. David WARD's parents are believed to be Isaac WARD, born Sept 23, 1823, Washington Twp, Ohio, and Charlotte CLUTTER (of Pennsylvania?). Isaac WARD married Charlotte CLUTTER June 14, 1844 in Belmont County, Ohio. There is an Isaac and Charlotte WARD on the 1870 WVa Census for Grant Twp, Jackson Co, that lists others in the household as James, age 21 Caroline, 18; Lameta J. (?), age 15; Sarah, 12; Isabell, 8; Isaac 7; Manetta (?) 4;Cincinnati 4. David would be 23 by that time and already married to Lucinda for 3 years.

Hi Rich, I have seen the name Solomon before, one of that name came to N.S. directly from England with his family, but tno connection to my line. My Wards, I believe, were all Loyalist who were refugees from the war. Most apparently settled in the Digby area, grand father came to the state some time around 1900, and then it seems all of his siblings also came back to the states to the Mass. area. First chance I get, I will send you a lineage listing so you can check for possible connections. Bill Ward

This James probably died about late 1760s. Actually he might have been killed in the Battle of Alamance since this family were Regulators. Sounds like your James was in the Eastern NC group. You might want to research the family of John Ward of Chowan Co who left a will in 1740s and had a large family.These Wards prob came to NC from VA. Good luck.

Jan, This is probably drawing some pretty short straws here, but I thought I would ask. What age range was the son of William Ward in the 1790 Census? I have a Samuel Ward who was born abt. 1790 and I cannot fathom who his father was or where he was originally from in PA. Thanks! Diane

Bev- URL is the web address, as in http:\\www.???? :)

My earliest Ward is William Ward Born 1750 MD but I only can find him in Huntingdon Co PA in the 1790 census with 5 daughters and 1 son. But I can't seem to put him with any of his children other than Mary Jane Ward that married 1800 to Nathan Nash but she moved around PA for a few years having child and then move the family to Green CO Oh. than on to ILL Jan This is a lost Ward line I just can't seem to find anything.

I have two WARD lines Line 1 Earliest is Richard Ward born c1751, I do not know where, and died 1822 in Tewin, Hertfordshire, England. He married Mary Marshall in Tewin and they had the following children John 1780, Christopher 1782, Edith 1784, Elizabeth 1785, Jane 1787, William 1790, James 1791 and Jemima 1795. Line 2 I do not know much except Annie Ward born c1845 in Harleston, Norfolk, England. Cheers Martin in Derby, UK

Dennis are any of your James Ward's born in 1804?? I am trying to find my James Ward he was born in NC somewhere, not sure where though. According to the 1850 Census of Pasquotank Co. NC he was 46 years old, so I am guessing he was born around 1804 or late 1803 or early 1805... I also have lots of James' and William's through out the Line. His wife I have no idea who she was, but she died in 1849. And he remarried to Nancy Ann Bundy in 1850. Do you think there is a connection here?

I would like to find the roots of my ancestors.There were 4 Wards who came to Berkeley Co VA when it was formed in 1772. There names were Joseph ( who is my ancestor)who died in 1787 and in his will mentioned Mary his wife and sons Stephen and Joseph. Joshua who died in 1789 only name mentioned in his will was wife Elizabeth. Aquilla who died in 1806 in his will mentioned wife Mary and 7 children Elizabeth,Jacob,Alexander,Isaac ,James, and another daughter name unknown. Jacob the 4th Ward that was there in 1772 ,I have no info on him at all. There was also Peter ,James ,Aaron and Betsy who were possibly children of Joshua or Joseph. Several children went to Northern Washington Co,PA in early 1800`s then in 1820`s went to Columbiana Co ,OH. Most of Aquilla`s children stayed in Berkeley Co. Any info about this Ward family would be appreciated. Thank you Dona Birnesser
