Hi, Rick Thanks for the reply. Where is Union Co in relation to Johnson Co? Another Ward-Brown coincidence-my Wards, William H. Ward & family, moved from Mercer Co. KY to Johnson Co IN. William's son, Levon (Elevin) married Elizabeth Florence Brown in 1877.(Johnson Co) She was the daughter of Henry V. Brown, b. abt 1828 TN, who was the son of John S. Brown, b. abt 1795 VA. I have had no luck in tracing my John Brown at all, but wonder if he didn't make a stop in Mercer Co between 1828-1831.

Carl W. Ward asked a lot of questions about the DNA testing project that Colin Ward has been trying to set up. I don't have any costs for this. It isn't a commercial project like the ones that the people at Ancestry.com run; it's a research project at a UK university that has done some of the original investigations. I don't know how he talked them into it, but apparently he did. My guess is that the cost will depend on the number of people that sign up. If it's as expensive as the numbers you mention, I don't think it will go anywhere. We'll have to see what Colin can come up with. It's not clear to me if there will be anything specific on, say, William Ward of Sudbury; I'm related to him through a female line, so would expect the male line to indicate no connection. And everybody who's connected to William would sure like to know just where he came from (!). Carl, just a note, that I sometimes miss a digest or two and so ask you to cc me on things so I can catch them and be sure to reply. Mike Ward

Hello, everyone I would like to connect with anyone who has information on James R. Ward, b. abt 1820 in KY, probably Mercer Co. On 16Aug1842 he married Mary James, widow of William James. Witnesses were Thomas Brown and Daniel Baker. 1850 Mercer Co Ky census: James R. Ward 30 M farmer KY Polly Ward 38 F KY William ? Ward 7 M KY John W. Ward 5 M KY Amanda L? Ward 1 F KY Priscilla James 15 F KY Martha H? James 13 F KY If any of these names ring a bell, please let me know. I think that Daniel Baker may somehow tie in with Peter Baker, first husband of Isabella Veatch, daughter of Daniel Veatch, Jr. There seems to be a Brown-Ward connection in Mercer Co that has been eluding a few of us (Ward showing up in Brown households in the census', from abt 1850-1870). Anyone have any clues? Thank you! Anne

I forgot to mention in my last message on the above topic, that I'd like for Michael Ward and/or Colin Ward from the UK to contact me with regard to this activity. Carl W. Ward carlwward1@charter.net

There were two messages on this mailing list recently (about 5 or 6 days ago) from a Michael WARD who spoke of signing up to participate with a Colin WARD from the UK to have the Y-chromosome of their DNA analyzed to identify their so-called Paternal Ancestry Signature that was inherited from each person's father who inherited it from his father, etc. I'd like to learn more about this activity; but more specifically, I'd like to know if there are any other WARD lines that are considering the process as a means of connecting one's self to some lineage. For example, are there any WARDs that are descendants of William WARD of Sudbury, Mass that are considering this type of thing? I know that there are other surname lineages currently in such a process. For example, one such group has established the DNA signature of Edmund Rice (an early settler of Sudbury and Marlborough, Mass.). In doing this as a group they are getting a huge discount for group participation. Here's a link to their web page on this topic: http://edmund-rice.org/ I know also that ROOTSWEB offers an individual test called The GenetiKit, which is a home collection kit that comes with a swab to painlessly and easily collect a sample of cells from the inside of your cheek. It is then returned to the laboratory where DNA testing is completed within a few weeks. When you receive your Paternal Ancestry Signature, you will also be informed of exact matches or near matches with other samples in the database and have access to future database matches and web features for the next 12 months. This kit retails for $219 but is currently offered at a sale price of $196.95. How can people go about setting up some kind of group program like that of the Edmund Rice descendants and get a discount? Are there WARDs out there that would be interested in such a program? Would sure be interesting in hearing some discussion on this topic. Carl W. Ward carlwward1@charter.net

Bob, I am sooo dense!! Do you suppose there is a chance your Ward's and mine are related, they are both from County Donegal? I have been focusing on Inishowen Peninsula, not Donegal. I have a John Ward bn abt 1672 in Ireland; m. Sarah ROGERS. They had a son named John WARD, Jr. who was bn abt 1704 in Inishowen Peninsula, Donegal, Ireland; m. Mary Campbell. John and Mary had a daughter named Elizabeth Jane Ward bn 1748 in PA; m. George R. DeLong.not the Donegal part. Again my meager family info is: I have a John Ward bn abt 1672 in Ireland; m. Sarah ROGERS. They had a son named John WARD, Jr. who was bn abt 1704 in Ireland, d. 1793 in Franklin Co, PA; m. Mary Campbell. John and Mary had a daughter named Elizabeth Jane Ward bn 1748 in PA; m. George R. DeLong.

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. 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. 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. 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. This Zebediah was also born in New York about 1825. His wife's given name was 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. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #4 Date: Wed, 15 May 2002 13:05:20 EDT From: JenRen53@aol.com To: WARD-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <1bd.1e76bd0.2a13ef50@aol.com> Subject: WARD Roll Call Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Still looking for information on Isaac and Charlotte (McCarty?)

Carl, Some of the information sounds familiar, but I cannot connect to to it but here is a link to the best information I can access about my family. Web page: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=rckline-wards I think that until 1825? Allegany County included most, if not all, of western New York State. It would be helpful if you knew what Town your great grandfather was born in. I have a great great Uncle who's name is Charles WARD. My GGU was born in 1861, good chance the are NOT the same, But there are many other Charles Wards listed on this page. Hope this is helpful. J. L.

Well while someone is looking for Ward's, someone please see if you can find a James Ward born in 1804, lived in Pasquotank Co.NC. He was a farmer if this helps. I am not having any luck finding anything at all on him except for, he is in the 1850 Census in Pasquotank Co., I need to know who his parents are and his first wife. His second wife was Nancy Ann Bundy. She also married Nathan Delon and Benjamin Jennings.

Miriam, The census show that my Wards came from TN. I have only traced them back to 1850 Arkansas If I remember right there was a James W. Ward that was married to Mahalia in 1850 Arkansas, place unknown. Then My great great grandfather James J. Ward was married to Mary Frances Johnson in Logan County, Arkansas. My great grandmother was Susan Frances "Nellie" Ward Sinclair and she was the mother to my Grandmother,Elzie Sinclair Reed. The Sinclairs and Reeds were Scotch/Irish. I would assume that my Wards would have been from there and were married into a family with a common background. Pat

Hi Pat, Oops, looks like another Ward/Johnson family!

HI Miriam Sorry cannot tell you where my ancestors came from before the date quoted. I trace them back to the Isle of Wright in Hampshire and I am the only one who left England, I think, cannot trace Alice or Harry both born in late 1870's. I ended up in Canada in 1952. Jhn Ward.
