I am a gr gr grandson of david calvin ward whose father is james w ward I last found them
in decatur county iowa in 1880 census before that they were in washington county iowa in
the 1860 census in the 1850 census hancock county illinois david was living with his
father james and his mother nancy they were married in knox county illinois in 1842
james was born in indiana about 1820 nearby in hancock county there is a david ward age
65 born in penn.and esther ward age 64 born in ny they have a daughter esther age 15 born
in indiana my assumsion is that james is a son of david and esther but i cant prove it I
found david in fulton county ill. in the1840 census and then in indiana in the 1830 census
dearborn county i am hoping someone has some information on this family that will confirm
all of this i have looked everywhere i can think of the only way i will find anymore is if
