  • Notes 
    • With no mention of Ward in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia : a sequel to Campbell's history / George Stayley I don't believe they moved there as a family very soon after 1783. Perhaps later or perhaps Daniel moved there by himself.

      Bedeque Methodist Church Records, one is a baptism record and the other a marriage record. They are as follows:


      "Feeby Clark Ward, aged 20 years the 5th day of last July, and baptized by John Snowball." (Between August 24 - September 6, 1829).


      "William Weeks and Phebe Ward were lawfully married after due publishment at the house of John Clark, Tryon, and in the presence of John Clark, Elizabeth Newsom and others on Tuesday, February 11, 1834 by me, Wm. Smith, W. Meth."


      This John Clark would have been Peggy's brother. Saying that, I have to let you know that I have no positive proof that Peggy Clark was the son of the John Clark, abovementioned, and brother of the John Clark, just mentioned. In fact, this record is one of the things that helps to support such a claim. Why would her daughter be married in the house of John Clark, unless he was a relative. About the only other thing to suggest this relationship is that the John Clark family was the only Clark family living in the area, so unless Peggy showed up from somewhere on her own, she probably fits into this family.


      I hadn't really thought of it before, but maybe the reason Phoebe was married in her uncle's home is because her father was dead. Again it is not a given, but it is suggestive.
