This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of this moment!!
Farm Map of Maple Lawn
MAPLE LAWN is also the ancestral home to
the many descendants of Luke Ward 1802-1878
and those of Henry Jones. The mutual devotion and respect between their
families and ours has continued to this day. In
1870 these two "Afro-American" families were "living on the
place." The families were headed by Luke Ward and Henry Jones
both listed as age 60. These
men were listed in James Ward's 1843 will. These folks share our
heritage of Maple Lawn.
"We are like family."
Peter Moore's family lived at the high gate where Uncle
Jack later built himself a house in which Uncle Cotten lived for
awhile when he first married and then later the Ben Riddick family made it their home.
I think that is where Henry and Mary lived also.

From the Will of Anne Ward Moore
signed 6 Nov 1900: "I wish the same tenants namely Webster Moore, Luke Moore, and Noah

according to the same regulations heretofore required and fulfill the contract agreeably
to all parties. I give to Ellen Moore, a servant $25.

Elizabeth Ward the
following Negroes; Joe Pipkin and his wife Mily, Dove and his wife Bridget; Peter
and his wife Celia, Joe Berry and Andrew to her and her heirs forever.

during her natural life.

Alston, Clem, John, Jacob, Sumner, Whitmel, Ephraim, Simon, Mary and her Children Sarah

give and bequeath to my daughter Ann James Ward negro William It is my will and desire
that should any of the negroes given to my daughter Ann James so misbehave or should their

considered sufficient for this support and I hereby arthorize my executors to pay the same
to my wife annually for that purpose.
