I am looking for family members that belong to Jesse L. ward from SC..If anyone belongs to this group please email me... Thanks Bekki Mcclenney

IWould like to discuss this with you at a time when I have more time. Ashort overview. My James Ward moved to Gilmer Co Ga abt 1841, there is an indication that they may have spent some time in TN before they arrived in Ga. My GGrandfather Hampton Percival Ward married Caroline Edwards in Gilmer CO NC. Her older sister married into the Cantrell family probably in NC before they moved to Gilmer Co. Many of these folks still live in Gilmer cO. Barbara: > > I am looking for information on John W.

I AM LOOKING FOR COLON WARD. HE WAS MARRIED TO ELIZABETH JANE ROWELL. THEY LIVED IN MARION COUNTY S.C. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHO HIS PARENTS AND SIBLINBS WERE AND WHERE HE WAS BORN. I CAN NOT FIND WHERE HE WAS BURIED. I HOPE THAT SOMEONE OUT THERE CAN HELP ME. MARY HEATH

The source for the proof of Richard Ward as son of Richard Ward (1692-1762) & Mary Johns appears in Lunenburg County Will Book 1, page 234, September 8, 1868, Inventory of the Estate of Richard Ward, deceased. Under Debits of the Estate a payment is made in 1768 to THOMAS JOHNS for 3 years board of RICHARD WARD orphan of RICHARD WARD deceased. This would indicate that the orphan Richard lived with Thomas Johns, who must be of some relation to Mary Johns Ward. Also it begs the question, what became of Mary Johns Ward? Did she die in childbirth? Was she living when her husband, Richard Ward ( died in 1762? Also we know that a BENJAMIN WARD was briefly appointed guardian of the orphan Richard Ward. What we do not know is which Benjamin Ward is this? Would it be the Benjamin Ward, Esq. of Granville County or Richard Ward's son, Benjamin (born 1717) by his first wife Frances? And the bigger question -- what became of RICHARD WARD the orphan after 1768? Brenda Reed

Brenda brings up some interesting questions. I am unsure about the law at that time. If Benjamin Ward and, subsequently, Perrin Allday were appointed guardians of Richard Ward, would that imply that Mary Johns Ward had died? Did guardianship mean "administered money for"? Or did it mean that the person in question was physically living with the guardian? Does it imply that no parent was alive? Or could a mother not be a legal guardian? Here are some other things that I find interesting. In the court books I went through, there were various other references to Richard Ward's estate, including various suits brought against it, and the trial of one of the slaves of the Ward estate. Mary is not mentioned in any of these orders, which may not be surprising since Perrin Allday was the executor. The specific slave in question in the trial, was a man named Bosen. A slave named Bowser was "loaned" to Mary Ward as a provision of Richard Ward's will. The other slave involved, a man named Vall, was said to belong to Elizabeth Fuqua (Richard Ward's will mentions that there was a Fuqua family adjoining his land, and I guess that this was the same family), whereas Bosen was said to belong to the estate of Richard Ward. Richard Ward provided handsomely for his wife in his will, providing a home and means by which to run it and it seems a little odd that his son would have lived elsewhere, unless, perhas Mary remarried and moved away? Very curious indeed!

That Richard Ward & Mary Johns had a son named Richard Ward is established in the records of the Administration of the Estate of Richard Ward in Lunenburg County. Brenda Reed

Sorry, I hadn't seen that. No offense meant. I was just rather excited.

Dear Cousins, Our local special collections recently obtained a series of Court Order Books for Lunenburg County. Among the many interesting tidbits about the Richard Ward family in this book are the following two, which I think are particularly peritnant. I found these data in "Lunenburg County, Virginia, Court Order Book No 10, 1764-1765" This was published by TLC Genealogy of Miami Beach Florida. p. 142 [October Court 1764] Benjamin Ward is appointed guardian to Richard Ward, Orphan of Richard Ward, dec[ease]d, whereupon, s[ai]d Benjamin, together with sufficient Security entered into bond. p. 162 [November Court, 1764] For reasons appearing to the Court, Benjamin Ward is removed from his guardianship of Richard Ward, Orphan of Richard Ward, decd. And Perrin Aulday is appointed guardian in his room, he giving Security, whereupon he, together with sufficient Security ack. bond. The various other entries have to do with the administration of Richard Ward's estate by Allday. It would be interesting to see the original court records and find out what the "reasons appearing to the court" for Benjamin's removal from guardianship were. Does anyone know if they are available? All that seems to be available from the LDS is the court orders. I believe these records pretty firmly establish that the name of the child of Richard Ward and Mary Johns Ward was Richard and that Benjamin Ward was in Lunenburg for at least a couple years after his father's death.

Hello, Thought it was about time I reposted my interests: Simon Ward was born abt 1755 in England. In the 1817 Hants County, Nova Scotia, Canada census, Simon is the head of a household of 6. 1 English born, 5 Nova Scotia born. So I assume Simon is the 1 English born. Simon married Rhoda Mosher abt.1785 in Nova Scotia, so he came from England sometime before that. They had the following children all born in Newport, Nova Scotia: 1.Robert Ward b.1786 died Dec 24, 1835 2.James Ward b. abt 1789 3.Increase Ward b.1790 4.Sarah Ward b. abt 1792 5.Mary Ward b. abt 1794 6.Martha Ward b. abt 1796 7.Margaret Ward b. abt 1798 8.Lucy Ward b. abt 1800 9.John Ward b. 1803 10.Susannah Ward b. abt 1804 Simon is my brick wall.. any leads appreciated.

Glad you got the packet....know how excited we were when we got the information too. Richard's email is: landrs@netins.net He is a wonderful person and I know he will be glad to help you. Later - Barbara

OK. Here we go. I am looking for any clues anyone can kindly provide to help me with my search for the parents and/or siblings of William H. WARD, my gggrandfather. According to all census records, William was born in KY abt 1815. According to his death certificate, he was born in OH Sept 1816. The son who signed the death cert didn't know the names of William's parents, so he was probably unclear on the place of birth, as well. William died in Franklin, Johnson County, IN 28 Jun 1903. He first appears in the Mercer Co, KY census 1840, then again in 1850, with wife, Jane, and children Merritt age 9, Elevin age 6, and Mary, age 5. In 1860 he is in Johnson County, IN in the household of Mary POWELL. He is with his wife, Nancy A., and children Elizabeth, age 6, and Jacob, age 1. In 1870 he is still in Johnson Co, IN, with wife, Nancy, sons Gates, James and Leaven. Also in his household at that time are Mary and Bell COMBS. William married Margaret GRITTON 30 Aug 1840 in Mercer Co, KY. Margaret was the daughter of William GRITTON and Jenney Jane LIPSEY. He next married Margaret's sister, Milliann Jane GRITTON 30 Aug 1848. He next married Nancy Ann LEWIS 06 Oct 1852. All marriages were in Mercer Co., KY. William's son, Elevin, was my ggrandfather. He was later known as Levon, with spellings any way you can imagine. He married Elizabeth Florence BROWN, daughter of Henry V. BROWN and Mary Ann TILSON, in Johnson Co, IN 04 Oct 1877. I have information on that descendancy that I would be happy to share. Anything on any of these people would be so great!! No piece of information is too small; maybe if I get something that I can add to what I have I'll finally be able to piece this together. Everything but the Tilson line is full of holes that I can't seem to be able to fill. Thank you, Anne :)

Hi! How was your trip? I recieved the packet today! THANK YOU! This is so exciting! Did Richard happen to say where he got some of his information? The reason I ask, is because my great aunt Judy had looked high and low for the parents of Eleven Ward (1816-1892). If he happened to say where he found the information on Eleven's parents, I would love to show it to Judy's sister-my grandma. From census information found, it said that Eleven's mother was born in NC, but his father was born in TN.....from Richard's information, Eleven's father would have been born in NC, and died in TN....but since NC and TN share borders, it wouldn't surprise me if they were fighting over borders (like I have found with the Iowa/Missouri border) and maybe Eleven thought it was TN instead of NC. If Richard happens to have a copy of a census or birthcertificate, I would love to get a copy. Does Richard have an e-mail address? If so, would you ask him to e-mail me (or see if I can get his e-mail address?) I told my grandma that you were sending some things about Eleven and his parents/sibblings and she was excited too. She said she wished Aunt Judy could have been here to see it too. I thank you again for the wonderful information. Have a great weekend!

Does anyone have a date of death and/or burial place for John THOMPSON, son of Nathan THOMPSON and Elizabeth WEAVER? John is likely to have been born in TN as his parents were married there in 1794. Nathan THOMPSON, b. ca. 1775 NC, moved his family to Fayette/Marion counties ca. 1818. John THOMPSON appears in the 1830 Tuscaloosa census. I don't have the 1840 census info but the 1850 Tuscaloosa Co. Census shows John THOMPSON's widow as the head of household: #819 THOMPSON, Charity 42 F (b. 18 July 1809 NC) Martha 18 F 1832 AL Nancy E. 22 F 1828 AL Mary A. 20 F 1830 AL Louisa M. 16 F 1834 AL m. Robert P. WARD Wm. N. 12 M 1838 AL Susan F. 10 F 1840 AL Charity HAM THOMPSON died 29 Jan. 1869 and is buried in Woodland, MS. She is the daughter of Spias HAM and Charity ROBERTS.
