Young's History of Lafayette County, Missouri: "Following the settlements already named (Clay and Dover) was that made in what is now called Washington and Sniabar townships. The townships were organized about 1822 and prior to that date the following lived in the part of this county now known as Sniabar township: Julius Emmons, David Ward, Thomas Swift and Jesse Hitchcock, all of whom were doubtless very early settlers in the Township. Henry Renick and Abel Owen were among the earliest to locate there."
As described in Clifford Van Ciel's Ward research: "The grave of David Ward is located in the Ward-Mitchell-Howe Cemetery located approximately 6.5 miles south west of Lexington on the old Ward farm. This is in Section 19, Township 27W, 50N". This cemetery may or may not be the Mitchell Cemetery.
