1794 - 1825
John Ward was born about 1794 somewhere in South Carolina and died about 1825 somewhere in Alabama. Dates for birth and death are estimated. He lived to be about 31 years old.

Some believed him to be John Grady Ward and he is believed to be the son of John Ward and brother of James B. Ward. Over the years much controversy has emerged over this family and the mystery continues. John married and had two children born in Alabama about 1820 and 1822.
