Hi Joyce, I am sorry but I don't know the answer to your question. Troupe is unknown to me. My WARD's were in Ellis County, TX. This is adjacent to and directly South of Dallas. I know little of my mother's family. Her mother was always called Mary, but I am not certain that is totally correct. Mary was born in 1866 and died in 1900. I have her name also as being Martha M. Ward. I believe that her father was Ezra B. Ward b.01-25-1826. He married Margaret Young, in 1855, in North Carolina. Any connection?
