I am researching Richard Nathaniel Ward (1834-1908). He was bornin New York, but evidently grew up in Michigan. He came to Texas
about the time of the Civil War, having had a disagreement with
his family about issues of the Civil War. He married Sara Ellen
(Elizabeth) Chick (1845-1929) about 1862. They lived in Rosebud,
Texas until their deaths. I have nothing on him before he came
to Texas.
I also need more information on Sara's parent's, Pettis (R orM)
and mother, Martha A. ?
George M. House (1850-1912) is another person I have very little information on. I don't know where he was born but he
died in McCulloch Co. Texas. I am looking for his parents or any
other pertinent information. He was married to Josephine Hanks
(1845-1876) of Anderson County, Texas. After she died he wandered around a lot. Any information on him would also be
helpful.
