Samantha, We had Ward's that went to the Johnson Co. area of Arkansas. This area is not very far from the Oklahoma border. Some even went into Oklahoma. I hear around Chelsea which is north east of Tulsa. Now Cass Co., TX is on a portion of the Arkansas border, but it's a nice little wagon ride south from Johnson Co. Arkansas. My (our) particular family ended up in Kaufman Co., TX, Rockwall Co., TX, then we move down south east a way to Cherokee Co., TX. There are sooo many counties in Texas. If you can't pinpoint an area it's like finding a needle in a haystack. I would start looking in the north east portion of TX since you have Cass Co. already. Look at Bowie Co., TX and Marion Co., TX. Also look at 7 Miller Co. and Little River Co. in Arkansas. In the mean time I've tried to do a little hunting for you myself. Want to see you get over the brick wall! Good luck to you and keep me posted, Vikki Samantha Wilson wrote: > > Brenda G........ > > You mentioned after 1810 you concentrate on WARDs from TN, KY and AR.
