Looking for information on the missing Elisha Ward BIBLE that was seen last in the possession of Nacy Evans WARD (b. Nov 1863) of Prescott, AR, in 1940. Although Mr. WARD is an ancestor of mine, contact with him and his family was lost after about 1940. Nacy Evans Ward was married to Kate DILLON in Nevada Co on 26th June 1895. He had two daughters-- Nannie Ward (b. Oct 23, 1898) who married Leonard SMITH on Sept 6, 1919 and Mary Ward b. Aug 7, 1901. Nacy Evans Ward lived on W. Elm Street in Prescott in 1920 according to US census. I do not find Nacy Evans Ward on any Nevada Co cemetery record, indicating he might have moved to other parts of AR to live with a relative prior to his death. I've had no response from Nevada Co postings to date. Any help from other researchers in AR would be appreciated, as I feel there is much valuable info in the lost Bible, whose origins go back to 1829 (copyright date). Thank you! Mark Ward

James WOOD married Mary Ann TURNER in Cass County, GA and were living there in 1850. In 1849, they moved to Texas, possibly Smith County, and then on to Hempstead County, AR in 1851. James belonged to the Masonic Order, the Methodist Episcopal South Church, and the K of H (what is this organization?). In 1860, the family lived in Hempstead Co, where it appears they spent their lives. At this time they are shown at Marlbrook. I have been unable to locate them at all in 1870. Can anyone help here? In 1880 and 1900 they were in Wallaceburg. In 1860, James' mother, Anna, was living with them, plus two small children, named Wood, but not James' children. Anna died in 1865. In 1880 Mary, 70, was living with them. I believe Mary Wood was James' sister. Need more info on her. Mary Ann died in 1895. In 1900, James was living alone. James, Mary, and Anna were all buried at the Wood Family Cemetery in Wallaceburg, deep in a wooded area now. A J A Wood was listed as a member of Lodge #13, Paraclifta, Norwoodsville, Sevier County, AR on 14 April 1894. Could this be my James? Children included Oliver M Wood, William W Wood, Charles Wood, Robert E Wood, and Virgil Wood. Dr Virgil WOOD, has not been located since 1880. He was also a Mason. When did he die, and where was he buried? He supposedly spent his career lifetime around Wallaceburg. Virgil had twin girls named Okla and Homa. Any help appreciated.
