Searching for any relevant info to help with my genealogy. I don't have much of a start. My father is GERALD RICHARD WARD, son of GEORGIA (Bates ?) (died 30+ years ago).

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

I am looking for information on ANDREW JACKSON WARD, b 8 Jan 1881; mar NANCY JANE BAKER (15 Mar 1882) in Scott Co., AR. Later moved to Pencil Bluff, Montgomery Co., AR and had the only general store there (sometimes called Sock City). They had 7 ch. My grandfather was ELGIE LILLION WARD, (14 Feb 1910 - Aug 1995) who mar 13 Jul 1930 in Dallas, AR to BERTHA BOSTER (b 6 Oct 1913, probably OK, died Dec 1987); they had 9 ch. They operated an Esso, later Exxon, gas station in Pencil Bluff. Elgie was shot three times by a robber a week before his 70th birthday but survived. Elgie's brother, BEN WARD, still lives in Pencil Bluff in a house next to Elgie's. Bertha's parents were JAMES WESLEY BOSTER and ELLA TROTTER SPURLING. I believe Andrew's family may have originated in KY or TN. A book my father, LEE ROY WARD purchased at The Hermitage, he found a reference to land sold to a Ward by President Andrew Jackson. Possibly a transaction between my gg grandfather and President Jackson?

I'm currently following a WARD family consisting of the following WARDs in hopes of finding parents of my g g gf EPHRIAM WARD (1816 Tn.) who was in Hancock Co., In. by 1834. Ephraim's brother, SQUIRE WARD (1804) believed born SC but raised in Tn. Squire mar WINIFRED DUNCAN (1828 Washingotn Co., VA.). Squire and family were in Fayette Co., In. by 1830. Winifred's brother ABNER DUNCAN mar RACHEL WARD 1815 Washington Co. Rachel is said by some to have been born in SC. She was dau of JOSHUA WARD. His other ch: RHODA and SEALY. The branch Joshua belongs to includes these siblings, documented by the estate of Dr. WILLIAM WARD (died 1833, Rutherford Co., Tn.): Dr. WILLIAM, JOSHUA, JAMES, MICHAEL, BENJAMIN and MARY WARD (CANADA/ CANADY/ KENNEDY and one half-brother, DANIEL WARD. Benjamin d 1820 Ashe Co. NC. Daniel d Jan 1826 Franklin Co., VA. I am in process of checking out a JOSHUA (1748 VA d 1849) and a JAMES (1765 -- 1843, Clermont Co., Oh.), both were members of the Methodist Church. It appears James and Joshua were brothers. James stated in a deposition that he was a Methodist minister and that while living in his father's household during the RW lived in Berkeley Co., VA. (now WVa.) 2 miles up the Potomac from Stockton's Ferry formerly Watkins Ferry. He mentions he had a brother JOHN WARD who fought under Capt. Lee during the Revolutionary War. Washington Co., MD is just across the Potomac River from the area where James lived. I'm wondering if the John mentioned above in your listing of RW soldiers might be the brother of James who died in Clermont Co. James had a son John. James and wife ELIZABETH and his son John and wife MARY and a baby are all bur at Mt. Moriah Methodist Church Cemetery in Clermont Co. The Joshua I mentioned in Hamilton Co. is buried at Asbury Methodist Church Cemetery just across the Clermont Co., line in Hamilton Co., OH. The cemeteries are quite close to each other actually, just in different counties. If you could provide further details on John mentioned on the RW page or know of someone researching him, I would appreciate a chance to contact them, hopefully by e-mail. I have written to two of those posting queries on your page. For one I have definite info and for the other I've shared info on some I have data on with similar names/locations. Best wishes, always happy to share.
