Luizur Lee March 3rd 1825 could this be Conrad Ward? Frederic Jr Ward m. Keizah Ward Dec. 11 1837 this is mine His father was James Ward m. Martha Patsy Ledbetter was the 1st Fedrick Ward related is this where they got the name? The grandfather was also James and died when the father James was 3yrs old. Was he possible raised by the 1st Fedrick. Also which Fredric drew land in the 1832 Ga gold lottery? Would appreciate any comments and would like to connect with others working these families.
