Ward Family History

Mac an Bháird- anglicised Ward, earlier MacAward, MacWard, meaning 'son of the bard'.

This surname was found all over Ireland from early times, but mostly associated with counties Donegal and Galway. During later times the name was often found in Dublin.

The most well known sept were perhaps the Wards of Co Donegal, who were bards to the O Donnells. The second sept of the name were of Uí Mhaine, a tribal grouping extending across the modern counties of Galway, Mayo and Roscommon; these were bards to the O Kellys and their territory was around Ballinasloe in Co Galway. Finally, there was a sept in Orghialla or Oriel, which consisted of counties Armagh and Monaghan, extending into parts of Down, Louth and Fermanagh.

Caution with Co Down Wards is required, because the well known family there is of English origin, and is headed by Viscount Bangor. As MacLysaght has noted in his 'Irish Families' series (1982, 1985), 'the arms often ascribed to Irish Wards belong to the Bangors, and do not appertain to the Gaelic Wards'. The same faux pas concerning arms occurs also with Lynch, Kenny, Carey, and no doubt several others, where the anglicised forms of these Irish names is identical to names of Anglo-Norman or later landowning settlers from Britain.

The English surname comes from the Old English word for a guard- 'weard' (pron 'waard').

In Sir William Petty's 'Census' of Ireland in 1659 (incomplete), the Irish name Ward appears as a 'Principal Irish Name' in the following counties:

Co Donegal
There is a BallyMcAward townland in Tirhugh Barony, but no Wards listed in that barony. There are 11 families (all figures are for families) of McAward in Boylagh & Banagh Barony; 6 of McAward in Kilmacrenan Barony.

The returns for Cos Galway and Mayo are missing.

Co Roscommon
Ballintobber Barony, 7 of McWard; Boyle Barony, 6 McWard; Athlone Barony, 10 McWard; Athlone Borough, 4 Ward.

Co Armagh
Barony of Ardmagh, 4 McWard.

Co Monaghan
15 McAward.

Co Down
Lecale Barony (East Down) Bernard & Nicholas Ward Esqrs (esquires) are listed as 'tituladoes' or landowners of Castleward. This would appear to be the English family (v. supra).

By the time of Griffith's 'Primary Valuation' (1847-64) most Ward households are found in counties Donegal (309), Galway (252), Monaghan (188), Down (125) and Mayo (95). The total Ward households are 2222, the next highest variants are Warde at 37 and McWard at 25.

Matheson's 'Special Report on Surnames in Ireland' (1909), listing birth distribution in 1890, shows most Wards in counties Donegal, Dublin and Galway.

Two famous Wards:

Peter Joseph Ward (1891-1970) A Co Donegal Ward. He was a Sinn Féin deputy in Dáil Éireann in the revolutionary period of 1919 -1924. He was pro-Treaty during the Irish Civil War, and joined the pro-Treaty party of Cumann na nGaedheal in 1923, when he was re-elected TD.

William Thomas Ward (1808-1878) American Brigadier General in the Union Army in the American Civil War. Ward led the XX Corps in the Atlanta Campaign, and was commended for conspicuous service at the battle of Peachtree Creek. He also led the brigade in Sherman's 'March to the Sea'.

    Andy Ward

    I am Andy Ward. age 59.  I currently live in Joplin Missouri, USA. Our family has recent history in NW Arkansas also. When tracing the surname back as far as we can... We have a road block with

    ?

    "Levin Ward born about 1745 in England."

    "Husband of Priscilla (Price) Ward"
    "Died about 1825 in Stokes, North Carolina, USA"


    Odd thing is I can not find a "Levin". I've found a few "Levena" or Levinia" which make me think they are female? I'll be honest. I'm  not sure.

    Anyway, My daughter and I are planning to visit Ireland in March. I thought it might be interesting to post here and ask if anyone has heard of that name. Thank you!????

    Charles Ward

    My family have resided in Bradford, West Yorkshire for four generations. Previously we came from Lincolnshire and the graveyard of Lincoln Cathedral contains many of my ancestors and there is evidence my forebears paid for at keast some of the stained glass windows in the cathedral. I am Charles Robert, son of Charles Brian and I am brother to Charles Daniel. My father was son of Charles Frederick... you get the pattern aleeady? My sons are Charles W.E. & Charles T. - my daughter, M. - the history of nomenclature does not follow the female line, though I consider her equal in many ways and better in some! (I have abbreviated as they may appreciate some element of privacy for the current time). I theorise - there's no evidence I'm currently aware of that perhaps the naming convention was linked to Charles I / Charles II and perhaps the family were supporting of these historic figures?

    Ward

    Nancy Ward (Nanyehi Ghigau , Beloved Woman) Native Indian from what is now known as America (please refrain from using the term Native Americans as that is a spit in the face of our people/ should this land not be Cherokee land and thereby called the Cherokee Country.. we are Native Cherokee Indians and my blood is the blood The Wolf Clan of The Cherokee Nation and yet it is also the blood of the Vikings from Norman called Weard, Waird, Ward, MacAward, MacWard which has ran through the blood of many peoples and many nations, if you care to know the true origins of the Wards and why they left Norman and split into two equal halves with one half commanded to settle in England and the Second Half commanded to settle in Ireland I will be glad to uncover the family's long and very well kept secrets. Another subject for another day.. Here we have one of ours that is held in such high regard by many who know not the truth and yet I feel she should know her way into your history books in association with the dangerous individuals who have always been hot blooded, The Ward Family. I do not deny that my bloodline comes from very.. well let's just say it shall we.. dangerous, murderous, and unscrupulous folk's that demanded their bloodline should survive but not only survive but should thrive.. and no Ward would hesitate to kill anyone who stood in the way of that one very important and very key idea behind the entire migration from Norman to begin with.. infamous is the name Ward for they were not trust worthy and liable to stick a blade in you instead of having to look at you.. yet nobody had the courage to say it to the face of a Ward did they, no they did not and this remains the way it is to this very day.. each branch of the forlorn family tree would have to move away from the other branches to keep from killing each other off.. sorry lot you see.. the curse of The Wards Forlorn Family Tree.. good ole Viking Blood and Personalities.. gotta love em or don't I don't care.. anyways, My Great by 8 grandmother was Nancy 'Nanyehi' Ward / Born 1738 CHOTA /Death between 1822 and 1824 there are some discrepancies upon the date of her death due to the fact that she went into hiding and started going by a different name.. now you will not find what I am about to tell you in any of the history books and archives but that is not a new thing now is it.. more often than not the way history is told is not the way it truly was.. #*Nanyehi was found to be a traitor in the end and marked for death by the Cherokee Nation*#.. (this should be obvious to anyone of any real intelligence upon reading the articles widely available across the internet concerning her traitorous ways) combined with the not so forgiving Cherokee People... Traitors, their wives and the children included,. were burned alive.. have a read and ask yourself if you really believe the Cherokees who would scalp you where you stand (scalp means to cut the flesh and hair from the head of a living person ) would permit such traitors to remain among them much less among the land of the living?!? I sincerely doubt she was able to hide her treacherous actions of a traitor for too long after the white children were born.. many times she gave up her people to the white man and sided with the white man, married the white man and gave birth to the white man's children and if not for her discrepancies (one who goes about) I would not be alive now to be writing this for you.. fortunately I am without an heir and this branch of the monsterous and monster filled Forlorn Ward Family Tree will die with me and be buried with my body and whatever blood is left in it and the world will be better for it.. The reign and terror of the monster slowly dies off and is written out of the history books to be forever swept under the carpet.. I am known as White Wolf of the Cherokee Nations Wolf Clan and Billy Joe Ward of The Ward Family's.. Father was Roy Clark Ward and his father was Vernon Lee Ward of the south eastern states of American including but not limited to.. the Carolinas, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, the Virginia's, New York all the way down to Florida and back many times.. spread throughout the land like so many drops from Johnny Appleseed's hand. Feel free to query me for more details should you fancy them. Remarkably and So Very Truly Yours, White Wolf (Bill "Billy" Joe Ward) NAJA COBRA

    (Part 1 of 3) The Ward name can be found in the British Isles, but its origin according to DNA is from the north-west coast of the Emerald Island. The Ward story [dominated by DNA tribal marker R1b-L513, Subgroup A1] can trace their origins to the Finn Valley in Donegal, Ireland from 50 BCE. Perhaps the journey begins with the Clanna Dedad; Deda, son of Sen or Deda Mac Sin. The Ward surname origin is from a Northern Ui Neill [R1b-L513] tribe. The Cenél Eoghan and the tribes of Donegal conquered much of Ulster (Derry and Tyrone).

    Anthony Barrett

    (Part 2 of 3) Cenél Eoghan will expand across northern Ireland with their cousins Cenél Conaill and the Northern Ui Neill between 500-800 BCE. The clans of Finn Valley have the same DNA as people from Gwynedd in Brittany. But how could this be? Recent discoveries from DNA testing are unlocking the migration patterns of Celtic tribes as late as 800 CE to 1200 CE. The Ward story begins in pre-history Ireland then moves to Scotland as they form part of the Dalriada. Descendants of their tribe will then travel to Brittany, France during the Dark Ages.

    I am searching for family members who might have knowledge of Michael Ward who boarded a ship in 1840s. Ship stopped in England where the Hudson family boarded. Michael met and married Elizabeth Hudson once they arrived in the USA. I first see them in NY in the 1850 census. He is listed as a flaxdresser. I was told Michaels father had the same occupation and his name was John Ward who was married to Kate Sullivan.
