*Research of the Pigman family did not prove that Ignatious' mother, Priscilla, was either a daughter or sister of the well-known Methodist Preacher Ignatius Pigman, son of Mary and Matthew Pigman. They did, however, live in the same area of Montgomery County, MD. Ignatius and his brother John Wesley Ward appear to have been named after these two Methodist ministers.
**Ignatius Pigman, the minister, deeded land to Edward Browning (alias Edward Ward) in Ohio County,Kentucky. This dual surname usage is similar to that of Ignatius P. Ward's father, James White Ward.

"White, James (c. 1759 - 1829). Private, 8th Co.,Lower Bn., Militia, Sept 1777 (Ref:M-200, T-5:51). Invalid (disability) pension commenced in 1789. On May 27, 1815, he also applied for pension (S25481) at Baltimore, MD, and applied again on July 12, 1825, aged about 66 (another source states his age as 78 or 79), in Washington, DC, stating he enlisted in 1779 and served in the 7th Maryland Line. Affidavit by Richard Anderson in Montgomery County, Maryland, on May 3, 1825, stated that James White, of the Maryland Line, enlisted for the duration, was wounded in the arm at the second Battle of Camden on April 25, 1781, and was furloughed thereafter. James died Oct 21, 1829, and in 1830 the Treasurer of Maryland was directed to pay to Henry Harding for the use of Priscilla White, widow of the late James White, the balance of $23.33 balance due him at his death. [Ref: D-632, J-16, K-2:406, K-2:407, P-3789, Y-61.] "One James White, aged 16" lived in the North West Hundred, and his mother, Mary White, aged 45, was the head of the household in 1776 [Ref: K-1:225]. "Mary White, consort of Captain James White of Montgomery County is buried at Monocacy Cemetery (no dates given). [Ref: Historic Graves of Maryland and the District of Columbia, by Helen W. Ridgely (1908), page 172.]"
"James Ward is on the 1790 Montgomery County Census as follows: 1-2-2-0-0. By 1790 he had 2 sons and one daughter. Son Ignatius Pigman Ward was not born until 1791. This one daughter is not found on the 1800 US Census, so she was apparently deceased, or was in her own household. James W. Ward is in the 1810 Montgomery County US Census with two new daughters; one son is now gone, presumably John Wesley Ward who married in 1807. The remaining two sons were Ignatius Pigman Ward, who married in 1811, and James Ward who married in 1812." SOURCE: The Early Ward Families of Western Maryland and Washington, DC by Ralph D. Smith
