Okay, then, is this the Duke B Ward you're talking about? I don't have a record for a middle name, but I'd like to get the civil war info posted for these guys, if I can.

Also, beware, a photo of him is there and, uh, quite frankly that is the worst portrait I have ever seen, hands down. It doesn't help that it was a tin-type.
Just a fair warning! :P
