Biography

This profile is part of the Ward Name Study.

Heman Ward was born in New York.

Heman was born in 1822. He married Elizabeth Jane AVERY of Leyden, NY the same year his mother Rebecca NASH WARD died. Their 1st son Charles Rivera WARD was born in 1854 in Florence, AL where Heman was teaching school, probably at the University of North Alabama. It appears that the elder Heman accompanied his son to Alabama and died there in 1854. By 1858 Heman and Jane WARD had moved back to NY since William A. (1858-1900), Edward Everett (1860-1958) and Clarence Hubert (1871-1942) were all born in Boonville, NY.
