    1. Enos Ward/Joseph Ward
    2. It's time to try again to scale my brick wall. I'm am trying to find the father, mother and siblings of Enos Ward. Enos Ward: Born 1801 in KY; married Betsy Bull in 1824 in Green County, OH; married Elizabeth Pollock in 1825 in Greene County, OH; married Rebecca Sprowl in 1861 in Warren County, IL. His known children were Ambrose, Joseph Pollock, Charles Nourse, Elizabeth and William. There may have been an older son John and Charles may have had a twin Clarence. According to census records he was in Union County, OH in 1830 and in Logan County, OH in 1840 & 1850. The family moved to Warren County, IL about 1855 and was in there in the 1860 census and Enos stayed there until his death in 1890. In the 1880 Warren County, IL census he gives his parents places of birth as VA for both. There is strong circumstantial evidence that William Ward, who is listed in the 1820 and 1830 census records of Greene County, OH, is Enos' father. William is the right age and has males of the right age to include Enos in 1820; William also lives near several other families who are interconnected to the Ward family. I need something to make a definitive connection and to determine the connection of other Wards who were in Greene County in the 1810-1830 period. There are several other mysteries in this family, but the other major puzzle is the date and place of death of Joseph Pollock Ward. Joseph Pollock Ward: Born 1828 in Greene County, OH; married Emeline Loughead in 1850 in Logan County, OH. His children were John, Calvin, Enos, William, Harvey, Rosetta Jane and Ambrose Jackson. He moved with his father to Warren County, IL and was there in 1860. In about 1864, he moved to Kansas and in the 1865 Kansas census was in Lyon County; in the 1875 Kansas census he was in Coffey County. He was in Coffey County, KS for most of the next 25 years. In 1900, at age 71, he was living with his son William and family in Coffey County...after that there is no further trace of him; no record of his death or burial is found in Coffey County, nor in the adjoining counties with other family connections. I would appreciate any information that anyone has on this family. You can see my RootsWeb file at: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=sevans ~Suz
