Mary Ward md Nave Jefferson/Cocke TN ca 180
I am trying to ascertain Mary Ward's father. She was born ca. 1787-1790, and married a Nave, thought to have been Henry Nave, of that family in the same area of North Carolina/early Tennessee as John Ward, ca 1806, in the French Broad River area of Tennessee that had previously been North Carolina.
I find a Mary Nave as a surviving daughter of the John Ward that died in Jefferson County, Tn ca 1793.The sons named in his will, John, and Cyrus, are there-after recorded in Cocke County, which was taken from Jefferson in 1797. Does anyone have any information about Mary Ward the daughter of this John, the sister of John and Cyrus Ward named in the will, there-after? My Mary Ward Nave is compatible in age to them.
Mary Ward Nave is commonly referred to have removed Tennessee with her husband Nave to Perry County, Alabama, then after his death ca 1820-1824 to East Missouri, where she married Lewis C Denison, in or about St. Francois County, Missouri. Her Nave children named their birthplace in census records as having been born Tn. She and Lewis Denison had 6 children that have been identified, all born Missouri. Mary is listed in the 1840 census for Taney County, Missouri, born 1781-1790., but as she had children from 1807-1831, it appears she was closer to the latter age.
Sincere thanks,
Joel
