Mike, Do you have any other information on Aaron Ward? Especially any brothers and/or sisters, or possibly parents? I've got a stubborn Ward ancestor that will not let me trace him back! He's the ever-elusive Abraham P. Ward, that I'm beginning to think was transmogrified in NJ without benefit of parents!!
