I am helping my brother in law with his family history. His
great great great grandfather was Josiah Ward who was born about 1825. He
resided in Guliford County, North Carolina. He was the son of William Crumpton
(who was half Cherokee Indian) and Hannah Ward. Josiah took his mother's maiden
name as was the Indian tradition. He probably initially was in Guliford County,
NC with his parents. He and his wife returned to the Indian reservation in
Tennessee and later went to Russell County, Kentucky. Josiah's father was
William CRUMPTON who was born about 1800. He was the son of Indian Gentry and
Lucy Crumpton. He took his mother's maiden name as was the Indian tradition. He
left the Indian Reservation for North Carolina coastal region central Guliford
County. His mother was Hannah WARD. Indian GENTRY supposedly was a full blooded
Cherokee Indian from the Blue Ridge Mountains, West Tennessee, known as the
Cherokee Nation. Indian Gentry married Lucy CRUMPTON.
