Dear Sharon,
I can't help you with the Parrises or Ensleys. I have a question about your grandfather George W. Ward. According to marriage records, his father did not marry Mary Taylor until 27 April, 1889. George's birth date is either 1887 or 1888. Death cert. says 1887, tombstone says 1888. Could his mother have been Beluzen Ward? Also, 1930 census says he was born in Tenn. Wife: Clara Louise Hipps; children, S. Elizabeth age 15, James E. age 9, William age 6 and Virginia age 3 3/12. He and Clara are buried at Farmer Cem. also known as Olivet.
