I am looking for Nancy Ward who married first William Thompson and then Moses Varnado in the Mississippi Territorial Area. On my other primary line I am looking for John Ward born 1794 in South Carolina. It has been suggested that he is the son of Samuel Pollus Ward which doesn't look to be correct. The only Ward I can find in the county in GA where my John Ward married is a William Ward who I feel like will be his father. Please keep a watch for information for me. Thanks! https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/2:1:9WRK-7C3
