TY, Franklin. The newspaper also mentions his son, John Gordon Ward, a resident of Pensacola, but not his daughters, Ella Risqué Ward Caulkins and Anne Morris Ward Johnson, who I believe are buried in Pensacola's St John Cemetery.
1850 places him in Pensacola after his stint as assistant military pay clerk in St Charles , Missouri, and before he bought a sawmill in Bedford county in 1852 with John W Otey, his brother in law.
With that, it brings into question that he returned in 1843 to Lynchburg to help his mother run the farm.
Did he leave St Charles in 1843 to return to Lynchburg, then go to Pensacola in 1850, only to return to Lynchburg sometime before 1852?
All in all, it is interesting these three generations involvement in Escambia county, Florida.
*NOTE* Ward did not return to help his mother run the farm until the passing of his father, Giles Ward, in 1850, placing the 1843 date as questionable.
