Fran,

'A Fredendall Genealogy, Descendants of Frederick Fredendall,'
by C.(Charles) Leland Wood and collaborator Maud E. Ward, publ.
1973 has reference to the Ward families. I do not have a
complete copy of the book...
Family lived in Guilderland, Albany Co., NY. Descendants lived
in Guilderland, Altamont, Knox; Schoharie, Richmondville; and
Duanesburg.

I have Christopher WARD b. 1802 Yorkshire, England md. Janet
Milliken, b. Wigtownshire, Scotland, (widow of George McCabe)>
their son Alfred Ward b. 1855 d. 1919 married Agnes WOODBECK b.
1866 Schenectady Co., NY d. 1942> their son Wilfred Leslie Ward
married Maud E. Marriett, born 1901 and still living in IL,
co-author of the genealogy book.

C. Leland WOOD b. 1886 Herkimer Co., NY, d. aft 1973, lived in
the Herkimer or Albany area and did much of the foot work for
the research, while Maud compiled and typed the book. He was
married to Georgiana Hildenbrandt.

I don't have enough info at present to know if Christopher Ward
had relatives in the area when he emigrated. This is an
offshoot of my direct lineage however any info is much
appreciated.
