Mary, Do you have any more info? I am looking for a Ward brother in this general area around the same time frame. The ones I am looking for came out of Virginia, did your Edward? One of these brothers was an Edward. The story was there were 5 or 6 brothers, one went to Tennessee, one went to the Carolina's, then on to Georgia , and the others to Georgia then on to Alabama (Where I want to find them) Some settled in Miss. and Arkansas. Family stories tell that the Ward Drug Chain in Texas was from this set of brothers. Do you think we have a match? Inga
