family left Canada for New York, then Pennsylvania, and eventually
Illinois. One son returned to Canada.This book discusses the lives of Levi, his wife Elizabeth Marical and their children and grandchildren in those early years. Descendants will enjoy seeing early documents such as land petitions, family photographs, newspaper clippings, and wills.

I'm working on a brick wall, NJ to NY to Nova Scotia to PEI and then...where? There are days when I want to throw things and days when I want to cry and days where I am just sitting here wondering what went wrong. The Ward branch is 1/2 of a Mayflower line. You would think this would be easy.
