Notes:

????
Author and reformer, Julia (Ward) Howe was descended, on both sides of her family, from illustrious American ancestors. Her maternal grandmother, Sarah (Mitchell) Cutler, was a niece of Francis Marion, the "Swamp Fox" of the Revolution. The first American Ward (John) settled in Newport, R.I. in the 1660s; his son, Richard, became the Royal Governor of Rhode Island, and his son, the first Samuel, became the Revolutionary Governor and one of the framers of the Constitution.

Her father, Samuel Ward, was a banker; her mother, Julia Rush Cutler (1796-1824), a poet of some ability.

My records show that Samuel Ward was born on May 20, 1784 in Wells, Rutland County, Vermont. He was one of the nine children of Rev. David Ward who had been born in Killingworth, Connecticut or Dover, New York, but had settled in Wells. The Reverend Ward had, over time, two wives: Mehitable Rider and Abigail Pray. There is some dispute as to exactly which children were born to which mother, but the general consensus is that Samuel, along with his brothers Eber, Nathan, Zael, and David, and sisters Submit, Rhoda, and Charlotte, were born to Abigail Pray. I have access to some correspondence between these siblings, and once I get around to properly transcribing it, I will share it here. Eber, Samuels brother, is the father of Eber Brock Ward. Thus Capt. Samuel Ward is often referred to as Uncle Samuel in family documents. I myself am descended from brother Zael.
The Rev. David Ward was the son of Asael (Asahel) Ward, the latter being born November 20, 1726, in Killingworth, Middlesex Co., Connecticut, and dying in 1777 in Addison, Vermont. According to the Hamlin chart, Asael died as a result of the campaign against Burgoyne, where he served in the militia. Asaels wife Esther Franklin was related to Benjamin Franklin (as I shall document at a later date).
Asael Ward was the son of Peletiah Ward, the latter being born December 27, 1699, in Killingworth, Middlesex Co., Connecticut. Peletiah and his wife Jerusha Kelsey bore nine children.
Peletiah was the son of Captain Peter Ward of Killingworth, Connecticut, who was born there on October 14, 1676, and married Mary Joy(e) on March 30, 1699.
Captain Peter Ward is the son of Andrew Ward and Tryal Meigs, this Andrew being one of the first settlers in Killingworth. This Andrew as the son of THE Andrew Ward, born 1597 in Homersfield, England: the progenitor who brought us all over from England.

Hannah b abt 1639 probably in Sudbury Ma., daug of William Ward and Elizabeth Unknown. She was one of fourteen children of that family.

She married Abraham Howe of Marlborough, Ma. May 6, 1657. She d Nov 3, 1717 aged 78 and he d June 30, 1695 both in Marlborough.

They settled near Number 2 school house in Marlborough,Ma. which was located near the South Meeting House on what is now known as Pleasant St. They had eleven children there.

Her father,William Ward Sr, built a house prior to 1670 near where is now the Soldiers Monument on West Main St in Marlborough. He was the first Deacon of the first Religious society organized here with about 225 people by the year 1675. His son Samuel had the house when it was designated as Garrison No 15. It was this place that about 25 people fled to when the first church was burned down by Indians in 1676. William had a grandson named Artemus Ward who was the first Commander in Chief of all forces raised by the Colony and had charge of the troops in Cambridge till he was superseded by General George Washington.

Elizabeth Ward, Hannah's mother, is buried at the Springhill Burial Ground on Spring Hill Ave. in Marlborough. He husband, William has a memorial there also, however he may be buried in Shrewsbury where he had removed to or in Sudbury where he had come from.

The William Ward house was was burned twice by raiding Indians and each time was rebuilt until it became a large gable ended two story Colonial, with a center chimney and entrance with single light surrounds. It eventually passed on to the hands of Bonney Hayden, for which the street it is on is named "Hayden St.".

The only thing the remains of the Wards is a park in Marlborough aptly named "Ward Park" dedicated to Artemus Ward.

Hannah married Abraham How of Waterton in the early spring of 1657, and Deborah was united in the fall to John, son of Solomon Johnson, who had been the Ward' nearest neighbor in Sudbury until his removal to Watertown in 1652, following the sale ofhis house-lot and other near-by plots to William...http://www3.bc.sympatico.ca/robertkline/wwbook.html

Hannah b abt 1639 probably in Sudbury Ma., daug of William Ward and Elizabeth Unknown. She was one of fourteen children of that family. She married Abraham Howe of Marlborough, Ma. May 6, 1657. She d Nov 3, 1717 aged 78 and he d June 30, 1695 both in Marlborough. They settled near Number 2 school house in Marlborough, Ma. which was located near the South Meeting House on what is now known as Pleasant St. They had eleven children there.

Capt. Samuel Ward son of William Ward and Elizabeth, married Sarah Howe. He later married Elizabeth Beers, daughter of Capt. Richard Beers, on 25 May 1710. Samuel took the Oath of Fidelity in 1662 in Sudbury, Massachusetts and served between 1679 and 1680 in Sudbury, Massachusetts, as a Representative to the Massachusetts General Court.

His house-lot was west of the Indian line, and probably near the old John Gleason place. Under him, succeeding his father, the original "WilliamWard" house (i.e., the remaining structure on the original site) was frequently the place of the midweek church meetings and also the recognized abode of visiting and temporary ministers. During the intermittent French and Indian wars from 1689 to 1713, it was a garrison-house as during King Philip's War. In his will dated May 22, 1727, Samuel Ward says he is "well stricken in years and crazy in body, but of perfect mind, and memory," His will was contested on Probate Court, December 19, 1729, by all his children and heirs (except his son Samuel, the chief beneficiary in virtue of a concurrent agreement to care for him and his wife during their lives) on the ground that he was crazy in mind as well as in body. At length the heirs agreed among themselves touching his will, and desired the judge to approve it. END

Elizabeth Ward (1643-1710) (John Jr, John)

Note: There were probably other children of John and Elizabeth (John How and Elizabeth Ward) whose birth are not recorded. The family tradition is that the Indians attacked the house of Peter Joslin, July 18, 1692, while he was at work in a distant field. Mrs Joslin was baking bread and her sister Elizabeth, who was visiting her, was singing while she was spinning flax. When the Indians came to the door, they were met by Mrs. Joslin, who with an oven shovel tried to prevent their entrance, when one of them threw his tomahawk, which struck her in the head killing her instantly. The Indians then rushed in and murdered three of the children, taking captive another child, which they afterwards killed, and also Elizabeth, whom it is said they spared because she was a beautiful singer and whom they compelled frequently to sing for them. They carried her to Canada, where she remained for about three years, when she was redeemed and returned to her home. When she was captured her intended, Thomas Keyes, considering her lost to him forever, resolvtd never to marry; but on her return wisely repented of his folly. It is said that Elizabeth never fully recovered from the fright of her capture (History of Leominster Mass) (Recorded in Howe Genealogies, by Daniel Wait Howe, p7)

Notes:

                   Bethiah Ward daughter of William Ward and Elizabeth, married Daniel Rice, son of Deacon Edward Rice and Agnes 'Ann' Bent, on 10 January 1681 in Marlborough, Massachusetts. Hudson (1862), Ward (1851) and Ward (1858) give the marriage date as 10 February 1681 which appears to be in error. She lived in 1661 with Deacon William Ward and Elizabeth. Bethia  and Daniel Rice had their house fortified as a garrison house between 1711 and 1713. http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~historyofMarlborough/familyward.htm
