Ahh.. you just might have hit upon something. My Increase WARD died NOV 22 1870 at Dutch Village, Nova Scotia which to my knowledge is just outside Halifax. (there is a Dutch Village Rd. in Halifax). He is listed in the LDS database. I have my whole family tree online if you'd like to look through it. Although Increase is only a brother of my grgr grandfather, Robert WARD.
