My grandfather was George Meriwether Ward. My late second cousin was very interested in our family’s history. Through her research, she discovered a book (bequeathed to me) that led to the discovery of a Merierther ancestor that arrived in Virginia in 1637 and ultimately led to her membership in the DAR and a link to the Daughters of the Confederacy. I am so pleased to find this group! I have purchased a membership also and can’t wait to get my first newsletter. Now all I have to do is find the aforementioned book!
