I am looking for information on William C. WARD b. ca. 1827 in North Carolina.He was married in Tupelo, Lee Co.,MS. to Lovdie SIMMONS who was b. 1841 in Alabama.Lovdie was shown as Loveday WARD in the 1880 Census of Pontotoc Co., Mississippi.Their children were Edward (b 1874), Bertha (b 1877) and Bessie (b.1880) WARD.
Lovdie SIMMONS' parents, William James SIMMONS and Anne Campbell CRUIKSHANK moved from Alabama before 1880 to Anderson Co., TX.They then moved to Rockwall Co., TX which is close to both Kaufman and Collin Co., TX where they died in the late 1890s.Both are buried in Royse City, Rockwall Co., TX
I am not sure when or if William C. Ward came to Texas since he was 15 years older than his wife Lovdie.Lovdie and at least one daughter came to Texas according to family records which showed they lived in Tarrant Co., TX.However,I located Lovdie S. WARD in the Texas Death Index which showed she died in El Paso Co., TXon 3-1-1918.
