Sherry, My records show James Ward b. 10/7/86 m. to Elizabeth Bropst b. 10/7/1792 having 10 children. One was named James but the birth year doesn't match up with yours.--Robin Names of children: William Preston b. 1809 Eliza b. 1813 George Washington b. 1815 James b. 10/16/1818 d. 4/30/1841 Westlick T b. 1821 Peter b. 1824 John Courtney b. 1826 Josiah b. 1830 Nancy Ann b. 1832 Daniel b. 1835

I have been getting a number of posts from all over the Southern States reference the Ward line. My line came from Nova Scotia, believed at this time , to have been refugees from the war.Circa 1700,s. I find it significant that the names James, John and William, seem to appear frequently in almost every generation. Could there be a common ancestry here ? Love to hear from someone regarding this. William C. Ward, wm.cw@verizon.net

Hey with all these James Wards around I may as well add mine too. I am looking for the parents of James Campbell Ward. A local history book says he was born in Kansas on May 30 1832. He first wifes name in unknown. He had a son named Anderson(Anse) with wife number one. Second wife was Mary Jane Williams born Feb 3 1849 in Kansas. They had the following children: Frances Clarence Ona Nancy William Mulkey Robert James Charley Ada Ana May Daisy Joney C. Nathan First 4 children born in Kansas the rest after moving to Washington State. Any info would be good. Thanks, Laura ltarbert@lightening-isp.com

Gigi, You are awesome!! Thanks for taking time to email me personally. I just started this Ward search and almost fell over when i did a search and saw 250,000 names on ancestry. I growled at my husband. My line is Vondra and there are maybe 30. If this A.J. Ward is my husband's line, it will have to be Andrew Jackson's father, maybe. Thanks a ton. Now we finally have something to go on. Please send me the email addy for the person having the information. Thanks again, judy vondra ward huntsville, tx. and montgomery county texas (The Wards last and present place of residence.)
