    Robert Adams Ward
    Robert Ward was born between 1770 and 1775 in British controlled Colonial Virginia. Robert Ward on 03 Dec 1804 in Shanandoah County, Virginia where he was married to Nancy Smailes.

    Ref: Shenandoah County Marriage Bonds, 1772-1850, page 111.

    He enlisted during the War of 1812 in Rockingham County in the First Battalion serving as a Private under Cpt. Samuel Lynn. In 1815, he failed to appear twice at Muster and was fined 75 cents each occurance. In 1816, he failed to attend Muster three times and a imposed fee was 75 cents each time. This failure to appear may have been due to seasonal planting or birth of a child.

An old newspaper clipping says he settled along Little Beaver Creek.

    According to Fayette County History by J.T. Peters & H.B. Carden pg 548 Robert Ward & Enos Gwinn were the second
    settlers to settle on Bacus mountain then known as Naoma. Robert settled on the ridge in a south-westerly direstion. They built log homes & cleared land for corn.

Gwinn for the sum of $1.00 1120 acres on the New River (Fayette Co. C 689) Since some of his children show up in Lawrence County OH on the 1850 census he may have been preparing to move to Ohio. August 25, 1858 his heirs listed as Robert Ward, G.L. Ward, Adam Miller, Winsom Davenport, Thomas Ward & William Parker sold 100 acres on the New River
    to Wm. Redden, Jr. for $15.00. The deed was drawn up in Lawrence County Ohio & filed in Fayette County. Wm. Redden may have been the husband of Sarah (Salley) Ward & a son-in-law to Robert.
