Hi,

Would you know where I could find a drawing or photograph of Eber Brock Ward?

I am working on a documentary about Michigan’s only black regiment during the Civil War and discovered that black soldiers in that regiment, the 102nd U.S. Colored Troop, named their training camp in Detroit “Camp Ward” after E.B. Ward.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Jeff

I have been researching the Michigan family Ward’s for several years and this is not a name I have stumbled upon. Thankyou for sharing the details of this man. I look forward to more insight to Capt. Ward.

I you have any links to the Ward’s of Armada, Michigan please let me know.

The Armada Ward’s settled in the area about 1837 when Michigan was still a territory and virgin land.

You didn’t mention the last two brothers in the exerpts. Do you have their names?
