Vickki, In case you didn't read my message to Brenda, I'm looking for William Estes WARD b 20 Nov 1852 probably born in Arkansas. Don't know when he went to TX, but his five daughters were born there (?counties). I have him, his wife Ada Jarrell (1. PHARIS, 2.) WARD (b 19 July 1851 DeKalb Co, GA) and his stepdaughter Ella (listed as daughter) and his two oldest daughters, Texanna and Minnie Ola--listed in the 1880 Cass Co, TX census. Would appreciate knowing the counties in Arkansas and Texas where your WARDs were so I can expand my area of research. And if you happen to have any info on my William, I wouldn't turn it down......... Samantha California
