Dan - I am the gggrandaughter of Elizabeth A. Blades and her husband, William Ward, of the Pocomoke area of Worcester County, MD. I have recently begun researching my Ward ancestry.

I would appreciate any information and source references that you may have for Elizabeth's side of the Blades, and most particularly any information you may have picked up on William Ward, as he is proving to be a tough nut to crack.

Thank you so much for any information you may be able to offer. Please contact me directly if you do not wish to post the info to the board.
