Hi, Barbara! I hate to reply to every posting on earth, but my ggrandfather was named Thomas Ward and he was born 4/15/1849 and, supposedly, according to census records was born in TN, but, we all know about census records. He ended up in Saltillo, Lee County, MS. I am open because I know nothing about his parentage. . . What do you think? Let me hear if you feel a positive vibe. Bebe Roper Byerly
