Samuel Ward, I - How many wives:

I have asked for an unmerge of https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=83758366140 as I don't see enough info to confirm they are the same.
The one I added from a working tree has both Ester Ward and Sallie Ward but ALSO a wife Elizabeth Cheatham with three children by her named Lucinda b 1808
and Sidney born 1816 who I will add to Geni if he is not already here, and Cynthia Melissa Ward born 1826 died 1887
