Linda's post about early Washington Co. Wards caught my eye although her names and later residence in Belmont Co. didn't match mine. My Ward family also came to Washington Co. in the 1790s and settled in Licking Co. Maybe we could all post our OH connections since there seem to be many early WARDs in OH? Here comes my 'brick wall' Jonas WARD (b. 1743) m. Phebe WARD (b. 1747) Possible children: James - 1769 Cornelius - 1771 Jemimah - 1773 Daniel - 1776 Ann - 1779 Aaron - 1781 Neoma - 1784 Phebe - 21 Feb. 1788 - married Baruch Dorr Jonas Jr. - 10 Feb. 1790 - married Elizabeth DeWeese
