Sorry the John Ward's in my line were born in England. Have you tried the Daughter's of the American Revolution (dar.org) site? I went in to it and your John Ward is listed. His ancestor # is: A120573 If you are unfamiliar with the site when you go to the home screen click on GRC then you can put in the ancestor number to find him. You have to pay for the info but it is not very much. The info is all of the supporting documentation that was required to prove the connection on your ancestor. Hope this helps.
