I do not have all these Ward's hooked together, so I don't know if they are or aren't. The line I am working on primarily is the Elizabeth Ward-Frederick Sasser line. They are my 4gg parents. My line through them is:

Frederick Sasser/Elizabeth Ward
son: Matthew G. Sasser married Sarah Ward
dau: Mary Jane Sasser married Leonard Wilkins
dau: Caldonia Wilkins married Lewis N. Hickman
dau: Ada Virginia Hickman m Jabel Ottaway Formyduval
dau: Carolyn Faye Formyduval m Amos Calvin Leggett
dau: Susan Leggett m Joel G. Hancock
