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., Maryland, USA (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.
