I am seeking any information about the family of Lewis (b. c1798) and
Margaret (Montgomery) Ward (b.1810).
In 1842, Lewis and Margaret Ward moved to Daviess CO. The 1850, 1860, and
1870 censuses showed this family in Alfordsville. However, many of the
children's marriages occurred in Martin CO.
Children were:
Martha Ann Ward Arvin (William)
Catherine Ward Cannon (Isaac)
John Lewis Ward (Susan Amanda Miles) married in Loogootee
at St. John's Catholic Church
Rebecca Jane Ward Burch (Michael A.)
Nancy Ann Ward Summers (Thomas)
James Pius Ward (Martha Jane Miles)
Joseph Ezekiel Ward
Lucy Ann Ward Queen (Richard Marsham)
Hillary Ward (Sarah Jane Burch)
Louvinia/Lavina Ward Miles (Elza B.) Clements (Bazel)
Mary Dorena Martina Ward Strange (John S.) buried at St. John's
Catholic Church cemetery in Loogootee.
Margaret Ward Tewell (William)
Lewis must have died between 1870-80. Margaret was alive for the 1880
census where she was found living with her unmarried daughter Mary in
Martin CO.
I am most interested in finding the death and burial information for this
couple. However, I would be pleased to discover anything more about the
children as well. My connection is John Lewis Ward.
Thank you,
