The first born daughter of David and Nancy Ward was Indiana (India) Ward. She was the sister of our Big Granny, Sarah Elizabeth Ward Bates, and Marion F. Bates. Indiana was born October 27, 1868. Her death certificate misspelled her name as Indinaner Wilson and incorrectly reports her death at age 94 on November 9, 1960). Obviously, based on her birth year, she would have been 92 in 1960. She is buried at Oakgrove Baptist church in Panthersville, Georgia. Her death certificate also incorrectly listed her father as Marion. Marion was her brother. Indiana married Cicero M. Wilson (1864–1895).
