Name:
Mary Ward was the eldest child of David Ward and his wife, Cynthia Seale. She moved with her parents into what became southern Lowndes County Alabama about 1829 or 1830, and in January 1837, they moved west, settling in the Bayou d'Loutre region of what later became Union Parish Louisiana, about seven miles east of Farmerville. Mary married Derril B. Carter on 28 August 1845. He died in 1852, and she remarried in July 1853 to Eleazor Slawson, known as "Azor."

In 1860, Mary and Azor lived with her aunt and uncle, Clarenda Seale and William Ham, with Azor working as Ham's overseer. Azor joined Company G, 31st Louisiana Infantry Regiment in the spring of 1862 and served for the duration of the war.

Mary died between 1860 and 7 December 1867 in Union Parish Louisiana.
