Juliana Veazey Ward was born about 1800 in Cecil County, Maryland, probably at "woodlawn", part of the fifth generation of Wards in that house.
She married:
She died in 
A.D. 1827
George Read Pearce M.D.")
The children are as follows:
-
Emma Pearce, who married Eugene D. Richardson and had two children who died in childbirth.
A great great grandniece of G. R. Pearce has some old books that belonged to an Emma J. Pearce. One of these has Dr. G. R. Pearce's name in it. They were dated in the 1840's. Since she didn't have surviving children, it would explain why her books were given back to her Pearce cousins, and kept in that part of the family. Her middle name may have been Juliana, after her mother.
-
Annie Pearce, who died unmarried.
Following is the obituary (taken from The Cecil Whig, Elkton, 1891: Cecil Co., MD) of Ambrose C. Richardson, Juliana Veazey Ward's second husband:

Death of Mr. Richardson.
It is with extreme regret that we announce the death of Mr. Ambrose C. Richardson which occurred at St. Josephs Hospital in that City of Baltimore on Wednesday. Mr. Richardson was the son of Joseph Richardson, a sea Captain of Denton Caroline County Md., a man of high social standing and character.
Ambrose was one of four sons, viz., Eugene DeK, Frank, Eugene, and Constantine, who after the death of his father removed to this county with his mother about 1850, his elder brother Eugene having married Miss Emma Pearce daughter of Dr. George R. Pearce a prominent citizen and large land owner in Sassafras Neck, and a brother of Capt. Matthew C. Pearce who married a sister of the late Col. John C. Groome. They located on a farm near Reybold's Wharf, and where Mrs. Richardson the mother died about 1860. His elder brother Eugene as well as his wife having died, Ambrose remained unmarried on the Pearce Estate many years.
During the war Mr. Richardson who had been a life long Democrat, sympathized with the South, and to avoid the draft, in company with E. S. Jones, Andrew J. Pennington, William M. Knight, and Frank M. Cruikshank left the country and went to Nassau New Providence. All returned in safety except Mr. Cruikshank who died on ship board in New York Harbor of the yellow fever, and Ambrose Richardson who being down with the same infectious disease was finally nursed to recovery.
Returning to Cecil county he resumed his life as a farmer and finally married the widow of Dr. Pearce, the mother of his late brother's wife. His wife dying about 1882, not long afterwards he removed to Elkton, and finally while residing here he made his home with Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Nicols, from whose house he went to visit James T. Robinson of Sassafras Neck, where he seriously hurt himself by a fall down stairs, and from whose house he went to Baltimore some weeks ago.
We knew Ambrose Richardson well personally. He was a high toned gentleman always, and under all circumstances, either of prosperity or adversity. We sincerely regret his death, and put on record this sincere tribute of respect to his memory.
