named in his will four sons William, Enoch, Wells and Nathan. Guessing at birthdate based on son's birthdates.

Ward's Mill Run named after this family,

From Ward family geneaolgy (Andrew Weyer)

According to parish records of Quenn Anne's Parish, Prince George's

County, Maryland Wells Ward was born on 30 June 1735. Wells was the son

of Nathan Ward and Margaret. Same source shows Nathan was born on 12

February 1713. Nathan was the son of James Ward and Susannah. Susannah is

believed to be the daughter of Francis Swanson. It is believed that James

Ward died and Susannah remarried George Wells on 16 June 1725.

I have been trying to connect my ancestor Zachariah Wells to the Prince

George's County Wells. Zachariah shows up in the part of Virginia that

became Grayson County as a young man in the early 1770's. Zachariah

married Abigail Osborne who is believed to be related somehow to Enoch

Osborne of the same area. Zachariah's oldest son, Thomas married Rebecca

Blevins who is supposed to be a daughter of James Blevins a brother in

law of Wells Ward. Zachariah's third son married Susannah Ward who is

believed to be connected to Wells Ward but has not been proven. During

the Revolutionary War Zachariah moved to Wilkes County, North Carolina.

He later moved to Lee County, Virginia.

The Virginia and North Carolina locations were all very near the Bridle

and Saddle Creek areas of New River which ran along the Virginia / North

Carolina border. I am not a Ward researcher but would be interested if

this rings any bell in the Ward community.
