Subject: Daniel Ward and Adna Hursey
Hi, Debby,
Please ask the group if they are related to a Daniel Ward who was born in
Maryland in 1798. He was put in bondage to a Wadsworth, a pewtermaker, and
brought to Kentucky. At age 18, he went into Ohio where he met Rachel
Martindale. They moved into Indiana and lived close to Peru for the rest of
their lives. He died at Laketon. We are trying to find the names of his
parents.
Also, my gggrandfather, Adna Hursey or Hersey was born in Ohio, the census
says, in 1825. He married Elizabeth Shoop Hursey. They had four daughters
who were left orphans. Both of them died at an early age, Adna in 1855, and
Elizabeth in 1859. I am searching for the names of Adna's parents. They
married in Peru and spent their short lives close to Peru.
Thank you,
Ruth Ludwig
