"WARD
There were six Wards in the 1786 Mont. Co. tax list: Peter, John Sr., John Jr., Wells, Nathan, and James.
Osborne's militia included Nathan, Wells, and James Ward (1783). Later militia lists also had Stephen, Walker, and William W Ward.
The Wards settled first on Saddle Creek: Nathan, Stephen, and Wells W. on tax list there, 1815.
Later many Wards lived on Buck Mt, which surrounds Saddle Creek. The Prior to 1800 list includes Elijah, Jonathan; Nathan, and P. Ward. Some Wards married with Nuckolls family.
The Wards included many noted musicians in the Appalachian tradition."
