Cindy, Does this William Ward have a brother named Thomas? My Thomas married Elizabeth Sanders/Saunders (b. abt 1803) in Tazewell County, Virginia in 1821. I found her in Johnson County Kentucky in the 1860 census with 3 children and no Thomas. I have been told that Thomas was born in Maryland, but I have no further info on him. Would appreciate your checking.
