1850 US Census

1860 US Census

1870 US Census

 Estate was setting in April 1879, Olive was executrix.
 date of birth (1826) and marriage (1851) from IGI records seem off.
 Their first child's name is not certain.  Listed as Alison W. (male) in
 1850, later as Alace and female. Another person age 18 and male, appears
 in the 1860 to have the same first name (Alaci or Alace), and last name
 Weed.  I now believe this is the James A. Ward who married Amanda J. Sykes
 and lived in Pittsfield, Berkshire County, MA.
 There is also another female named Elizabeth, age 16, and
 Elsie from the 1850 census, who should be 14, is not present. Quite
 confusing.

 Next door in 1850 are Jeremiah and Elsy Ward, very likely Garret's
 parents.
 There is a marriage record for Jeremiah Ward, son of Ebenezer,
 and Elshe Slingerland, 18 Feb 1810, Bethelhem, Albany County, NY
