Elizabeth Ward (Burris) - PROVEN children of Eli Ward & Elizabeth Webb/Burris

The children between this couple are PROVEN by a note written by Eli & Elizabeth's son Duke listing his parents & siblings names, as well as by census records from 1870 & 1880.

In the note written by Duke Ward, (which is Elizabeth's profile photo), the children listed are:

• Louisa • John • Rachel • Polly • Billy • Elizabeth • James • Duke • Sterling •

The note SPECIFICALLY states that there are a total of 9 children. This is also supported by census records.

In the census record of 1870 in Civil District 10, Anderson County, Tennessee, the following children are listed

Louisa • Rachel • John • William (Bill) • Pollie (Polly) • Elizabeth • James • Dukey

In the census of 1880, also in Civil District 10, Anderson County, Tennessee, the following children are listed:

• Polly • James • Dukey • Sterling •

As we can see, all the children listed in Duke's note line up with the children listed in census records. Therefore, it is safe to conclude that Eli & Elizabeth most certainly had a total of 9 children.
