!SOURCE: Email from Dawn Peterson (email hidden) to the Whipple Website, 8 May 2003. Dawn believes that Alfred and Mary Ann (Johnson) Ward went to Linn County, Missouri, and had no children. She states:
I would like to point out that on the genweb.Whipple.org website the presumed children of Alfred and Mary Ward (Alfred is a son of Augustin B. Ward, son of Chandler Ward) are wrongly attributed.I have never found a Eunice Ward in the census with the Alfred Ward family, but my grandmother, Eunice Ward, and her two siblings actually were listed in the family of Chandler Ward, b. 1835, and his wife Elizabeth (Morrison), in the 1870 census of Fillmore County, Minnesota, Chatfield twp. "Unnice" and Elmer (not "Elma" the name in the 1870 census) were listed with Chandler Ward in the 1880 census of Brookings, South Dakota, Aurora township (110T, 49R I think). Chandler, 50, b. PA, Elmer, 19, b. MN, and Eunice, 15, b. MN, were listed in the Emmons, North Dakota, State Census of 1885, and Chandler Ward and Eunice (Ward) Oakes were listed in a household of two people in the 1895 census of the State of Iowa in Mills County, Iowa, in Lyons twp.
My GM, Eunice Ward was born in Austin, Minnesota, Mower County, in Nov. 1869, next to Fillmore Co. A copy of the entries in Eunice's family Bible was made in the 1960s by my mother. Eunice's birth date is listed, & the place. In the Iowa state census for 1895 which I mentioned above, Eunice was referred to as Mrs. Eunice Oakes. Her first husband was a Henry Oakes and she was a widow already at 25. This fact (her first marriage) is widely presumed in our family history and is documented as follows:
In a draft employment application my father filled out in 1950, he listed his mother's name, "Eunice Drucilla OAKES Walker" deceased, her last address, and the date of her birth as Nov. 20, 1869, her maiden name as "WARD". My father's birth certificate lists his mother's "full maiden" name as Eunice Ward, born in Minnesota, her residence: Glenwood, Iowa (in Mills Co.).Augustin B. Ward lived in Fillmore, MN after he left PA and ILL. He and his wife were listed in the 1880 census in Wykoff twp. of Fillmore Co. near their dau. Mary O'Dell (Reuben O'Dell). An Augustine Ward bought land in Fountain twp. of Fillmore Co. in 1859(?). Augustin Ward is listed in the index for Fillmore Co. in 1870 Bloomfield twp., p. 82, with Mary A., Heman, and Miner Ward, all on the same page, but I have not yet located his name on the actual page.Chandler Ward was listed in Fillmore County, Forestville twp, in 1860 with his wife Elizabeth and "Mary." I'm not clear who Mary was.
I have a letter written by Olive Ward to my father which states that Olive's father was Miner Ward (a son of Augustin B.) who died in Jackson, MN, in 1910. She says in the letter that Eunice Ward, my father's mother, was her (Olive's) cousin and Chandler Ward was Eunice's father. It is obvious in the letter that Olive personally knew Eunice. She says she lost Eunice's address. This letter was postmarked in California where Olive Ward Potter lived at the time, abt. 1966. It has only a typewritten signature but it has her return on the postmark side of the envelope.
In a note my father left, he mentioned his Aunt Minerva. Augustin B. Ward had a daughter Minerva (Daviess Co., Illinois 1850 census) who married Noah R. Bisbey. The 1880 census for Aurora twp., Brookings, SD, shows Chandler Ward & his two children boarding with C.R. Bisbey & his mother Sophia Bisbey and next door to Minerva and N.R. Bisbey. The Bisbeys previously lived in Fillmore, MN, according to census indexes. A descendant of the Bisbey clan states that the father of Noah R. Bisbey is buried in Fillmore, MN.
I have looked at images of the original federal censuses mentioned here, & a transcription of the Iowa State Census for Mills Co. and the North Dakota Census for 1885.
I believe Alfred Ward & Mary went to Linn Co., Missouri. (Alfred was born 2 Oct 1833 in Bradford, PA, was a civil war veteran, died 25 July 1917 at St. Catherine, Linn, MO, and had no children. This material is taken from the WorldConnect pages of "Dick Dutton, Deceased", which has no listed sources except for the "William Ward Genealogy" by Charles Martyn, 1925) But I have never heard or seen ANYTHING to confirm the idea that Alfred Ward is my GGF. In fact, the evidence all runs in the other direction, that he was Chandler Ward, but from the same family, of Augustin B. Ward. The 1850 census of Daviess Co., ILL, shows their names. The children's names include Alfred, Chandler, Minerva, and Miner Ward.
The Pottawattamie Co. Gen. Soc. (IA) has a record of a death for Chandler Ward in Council Bluffs, Iowa. My father, his grandson, grew up in Council Bluffs, IA.
