Gilbert, this John Ard settled in the Charleston District which was changed to Marion District and then changed several more times before it finally became Clarendon County. My grandmother was Bertie Elizabeth Ard Rodgers she is buried at Harvin Cemetery Alcolu, SC. My great grandfather Edward Ruben Ard he is buried at Oak Grove Methodist Churchyard in Manning, SC and his father Samuel Ruben Ard were born in the Marion District of SC. Samuel Ruben was killed in the War between the States (Civil War) and is buried in Virginia. Samuel Ruben's father was William Ard. We think that the John Ard that was 3 years old when he came to America is William's father. We only find land transfers from John Ard to William Ard and the record we have found make us think that William was born about 1801. William was married 3 times and had 7 children. His wives were Ann ???, Sara Ann Poston and Jane Bartell. We believe that all the children were Jane's because William and she were married in 1827 and she died in 1847. The children were born between 1828 and 1846. I will be glad to send everything that I have if you give me you email address.
