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 someone helps me
