Ron, Thanks for the information on Clark Ward and Callie Davis. It was very useful. Also thanks for the advise on how to search for ancestors. Again thank you very much.

: Phillip,

: Here is some of the stuff I found on this family. Your requests are
: rather broad. Some of your request involve the era of slavery.
: Researching a family line is a considerable amount of work. You
: need to break down the family, census by census and person by
: person. I did not find much on Callie. I think that the 1900
: census may have her age incorrect but it was the only time I
: found her.
