Put notes in about, and I’ll revisit tomorrow if need be.

Hi. Benjamin Ward's death was sometime between April 18, 1820 & August 1820, his will was probated in August. I added that to the sources.

Also, for this death location, I think it should be changed, the county anyways, to Ashe. Watauga County was not formed until 1849. There are census records from 1800 & 1810 showing him residing in Ashe County.
