Hello Vickki, Here is the data on the parents and grandparents of John Ward who married Nancy Bowen. My data does not contain the actual references but some of what I have came from the Peery Family History Home Page at the following address: http://www.cc.utah.edu/~pdp7277/index.html You can get better references from there. (Note: I also have the father and 2 of the siblings of the following William Ward.) 1) William Ward, Sr., b.1702, in Inishowan Penninsula, County Donegal, Ireland, d.Staunton, Augusta Co., VA., married 1st, Abt. 1736, in Pennsylvania + Jane Swaim, b.Abt. 1720, in England. Children: (5 kids- David below of 1st marriage) 2nd marriage, November 21, 1761, in Augusta Co., VA. + Mrs.Elizabeth Ward, b.Abt. 1735, in Children: ( 5 kids) 2) David Ward, Sr., b.Abt. 1742, in Greenville, Augusta Co., VA., d.June 1827, in Tazwell Cove, Augusta Co., VA., married 1st Abt. 1771, in Augusta Co., VA. + Jane Cravens, b.Abt. 1745, in Augusta Co., VA., d.Abt. 1787, Tazwell Cove, Tazwell Co., VA. Children: (8 kids - John below of 1st marriage) + Eleanor Clancy, b.Abt. 1770, in Washington Co., VA., d.Aft. 1857, in Tazwell Co., VA. Children: (15 kids) 3) John Ward, b.Abt. 1773, Ward's Cove, Tazwell Co., VA., d.Abt. 1855, in Arkansas, married 1798 at Wards Cove, Tazwell Co., VA. + Nancy Bowen, b.1778 in Agusta, Tazwell Co., VA., d.October 08, 1835, in Johnson Co., AR. Children: (12 kids) ==================== I could send you a GED of my file but the whole file would contain 20,922 individuals!! I can cull it down to a more reasonable amount of people with a little effort,. I suppose if you like. I use Family Tree Maker 7.0 so you would also have to use the 7.0 version to open the GED file, or I could send the file as a zipped ".FTW" file if your version is with the earlier FTM versions. I am also willing to do this for anyone else who requests it and is using the FTM program.
