I am having so much trouble tracing my VA/NC Wards but one of the recent posts caught my attention. My paternal grandmother was a Ward. She was a red head and so was her mother and several brothers. Her first child of 5 was a red head but was still born. The rest had dark brown hair and dark skin. My dad tells me that a resemble my great grandmother a great deal. I have red hair and blue eyes which I understand is typical of this line of Wards. I am the only grandchild out of 13 with red hair. Are there other Wards with red hair? I would be interested to know. Sincerely, Tammy Hill Ratledge Researching William Thomas Ward who married Mary Pruitt late 1800's in VA/NC. Not much information here.
