William WARD
Nancy A. CARRICO

Husband: William WARD — a.k.a., William J. WARD, William T. WARD, William Thomas WARD, William Martin WARD
Birth: 1812/3, VA
Death: 1860-70 [Civil War?]
Occupation: farmer
Father said to be: William WARD
Mother said to be: Elizabeth WILSON

In the 1840 census, William's middle initial is clearly "J," yet his marriage record is alleged to show middle intial "T" and some secondary sources give him middle name, Thomas, while others give him middle name, Martin. Until I've seen solid documentation for his middle name, I'm going to leave him without a middle name or initial.

Marriage: 27 Feb 1835, Grayson Co., VA

Wife: Nancy A. CARRICO
Birth: Jan 1818, Grayson Co., VA
Death: 1900-1910, presumably in Fancy Gap, Carroll Co., VA

Others:

. Franklin WARD, b. 1848/9, VA

Franklin is with them in 1860 and 1870, but not 1850. Is his age wrong? Or is he not their son?

Where did Franklin come from? He's not with them in 1850. Or is his age wrong (see next source)? Is "Chapel" actually "Chapman" (see next source)?

5. 1870 Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #4 of 39): Fancy Gap P.O., Fancy Gap Twp., Carroll Co., VA, Roll M593_1639, p. 404B, PN 4, 27/28, enumerated 6 Jul 1870, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1870 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):¤•

Nancy should be 51 or 52, not 42. Franklin should be 22. Or is his age in 1860 wrong? The latter would explain why he wasn't with them in 1850.
