1. Jane A. Beard was born on 23 January 1806 in Kentucky. She married James Ward in Hardin County, Tennessee in January 1826. He was the son of Swain Ward and Louisa "Lovey" Walker and he was born 12 June 1801 in Pitt County, North Carolina. They are probably on the 1830 Hardin County census but we do not yet find them. In 1840 they are listed there. In 1850 in same, James and Jane Ward have seven children. They are listed on the same page of the census as Cynthia Beard, the widow of Jane's father James Beard/Baird. Jane died just after this census on 28 October 1850 in Hardin County and James Ward remarried to an Alice M., last name unknown. They appear on the 1860 and 1870 censuses in Hardin County. James Ward died on 28 November 1871 in Hardin County. They are interred at the Ward Cemetery in Savannah, Hardin County, Tennessee.
