Good morning Ward researchers- My great Grandmother was Alcidora Ward, b: TN 1851(her dau. married my Smith grandfather) daughter of Gideon Ward, Stewart Co.,TN son of Simeon Ward, son of Mercer Ward and Rhoda Horn; Edgecombe Co.,NC I just found another Ward connection in my family, my Smith grandfather's sister, Lara Delilah Smith- Ward -Andrews, (b: AL 1972-d: Greene Co.,AR) was married to 1st to Phinnes H. Ward. I have no additional info. on him but they had a child. Pearl Ward b. March 1889 m. Jim Pyland their children: V.L. ____ J.H. m. Bernice, one son Jimmy Chester_____ Winford_____ I figure this Phinnes H. Ward was somehow related to the rest of my Ward ancestors and cousins but I don't know how. Maybe the H. was for Horn?? Is anyone working on this line?? Brenda.
