Individual:
might have been a son because was mentioned in will
WARD: Nathan (not fit)(Probably a Baptist, listed as a non-Quaker on the Swift lists)(on both lists)
He lived on Coal/Cole Creek, a branch of Chestnut Creek in today's Carroll Co., VA. Ward's Mill Run is named after his family. It is thought that he is the son of another Nathan Ward and the brother of Wells Ward who lived to the West on Saddle Creek in today's Grayson county. Many researchers are also looking at connections to Ward lines from Baltimore (now Prince Georges) Co., MD (where the names Nathan and Wells are also found) and it is possible that the Ward family co-migrated with the Swift and Carr families or with the Blevins family. A Nathan Ward was made a captain on the formation of the 78th Regt of militia in August 1793 soon after the formation of Grayson county. Nathan settled on Coal [Cole] Creek in present day Carroll County by at least 1773 and had his land surveyed in 1774. He purchased his land from the Loyal Land Company and it was a conflicted purchase not validated until 1802.
Nathan's daughter Margaret married Morris Cox, another son of Thomas Davis and Elizabeth Knox (see the Quaker Davis family). Other children: Nathan m. Anne Williams [see below] and removed to Hawkins Co., TN, Enoch (removed to Rutherford Co., NC), Elizabeth m. Jeffrey Clark [Quaker Clarks?], William m. Elizabeth Wilson (and remained in Carroll Co., VA) and Wells.
1782 tax list: Nathan Ward, 1 tithe, 0 slaves, 2 horse, 8 cattle. In 1793, District 2 of Wythe there is a Nathan Ward with 7 horses and no blacks and another Nathan Ward with 3 horses and no blacks (one of these is his nephew by brother Wells). Nathan Ward was not on the list of those fined for missing militia musters.
