Elizabeth Ward was born on April 18, 1826 in Dale County, Alabama and died on December 17, 1908 in Geneva County, Alabama. Dates for birth and death are estimated. He lived to be about 82 years old.
Many researchers beleive Elizabeth Ward White is the missing daughter of James B. Ward and Elizabeth English Ward. She would have married and left her parent's home before the 1850 Census recorded her name as one of their children. The 1830 and 1840 Census counted children by age group and did not enumerate them by name. | 
 | Census | 12/1/1830 | AL (Dale County) | 4 yrs old | James Warde's family is described as one son under 5, 3 sons between 5-9, and one male between 30-40. The house has two females: one under 5 and the other between 30-40 years old.
| Additional information about Dale County, AL around 1830: Dale County was established on December 22, 1824, from lands now found in Coffee, Geneva, and Houston counties. The first non-Indian settlers arrived in this area around 1820 -- shortly after the Creek Indian Wars ended and the Treaty of Fort Jackson was signed. Daleville became the first county seat. However, the town is simply called "Dale's Court House" around this time. | |
