To this union there were seven children born - MARY A., JOHN M., THEODORE D., DRUIE M., SARAH S., OLIVER T., and PHEBE J. MR. WARD came to this county in company with his father in 1840; in 1849, he purchased forty acres of land, and in 1850 built a hewed-log house. He now owns 172 acres, part of which is well improved, and he is worth fully $8,000, all made through honest industry, MR. and MRS. WARD are both church members, and in politics he is a Republican.
