???? Author and reformer, Julia (Ward) Howe was descended, on both sides ofher family, from illustrious American ancestors. Her maternalgrandmother, 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 theRoyal Governor of Rhode Island, and his son, the first Samuel, becamethe Revolutionary Governor and one of the framers of the Constitution. http://oasis.harvard.edu:10080/oasis/deliver/~sch00111 Her father, Samuel Ward, was a banker; her mother, Julia Rush Cutler(1796-1824), a poet of some ability. http://www.nndb.com/people/070/000031974/ In 1812 he married Julia Rush Cutler, second daughter of BenjaminClarke and Sarah Mitchell (Hyrne) Cutler. Not Connected! http://www.yourbrotherkings.com/?cat=17 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. DavidWard who had been born in Killingworth, Connecticut or Dover, NewYork, but had settled in Wells. The Reverend Ward had, over time, twowives: Mehitable Rider and Abigail Pray. There is some dispute as toexactly which children were born to which mother, but the generalconsensus is that Samuel, along with his brothers Eber, Nathan, Zael,and David, and sisters Submit, Rhoda, and Charlotte, were born toAbigail Pray. I have access to some correspondence between thesesiblings, and once I get around to properly transcribing it, I willshare it here. Eber, Samuel’s brother, is the father of Eber BrockWard. Thus Capt. Samuel Ward is often referred to as “Uncle” Samuel infamily documents. I myself am descended from brother Zael. The Rev. David Ward was the son of Asael (Asahel) Ward, the latterbeing born November 20, 1726, in Killingworth, Middlesex Co.,Connecticut, and dying in 1777 in Addison, Vermont. According to theHamlin chart, Asael “died as a result of the campaign againstBurgoyne, where he served in the militia.” Asael’s wife EstherFranklin was related to Benjamin Franklin (as I shall document at alater date). Asael Ward was the son of Peletiah Ward, the latter being bornDecember 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 MaryJoy(e) on March 30, 1699. Captain Peter Ward is the son of Andrew Ward and Tryal Meigs, thisAndrew being one of the first settlers in Killingworth. This Andrew asthe son of THE Andrew Ward, born 1597 in Homersfield, England: theprogenitor who brought us all over from England. ---------------------- Ward Family Association Ward Family History and News http://www.geocities.com/~rewoodham/ward.html Descendants of Edmund Rice Person Page 14 http://www.dearroz.pointclark.net/ERA/ERA_Test-p/p14.htm1514 Deacon William Ward1 (M) b. c 1603, d. 10 Aug 1687 Deacon William Ward was born circa 1603 at England.2,3 He marriedElizabeth (?) circa 1630.4 Deacon William Ward died on 10 August 1687at Marlborough, MA.5,6,7 He and Elizabeth (?) immigrated in 1639 from England and settled atSudbury.8 Deacon William Ward immigrated in 1639 from England andsettled at Sudbury.9 He and Elizabeth (?) resided in 1660 atMarlborough, MA.10 Deacon William Ward was Type: questioned in courtaged about 61 on 4 October 1664 at MA.11 He was questioned in courtaged about 61 on 4 October 1664 at MA.11 He left a will on 6 April1686 at Marlborough, MA,, His will mentions wife Elizabeth executrix,sons Samuel, John, and Increase, grandson William son of Obadiah,former wife (dec), all children by former wife and all survivingchildren by Elizabeth, deceased sons Richard and Eleazer and theirwidows and children, and overseers sons John and Increase andson-in-law Abraham Williams.

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 waslocated near the South Meeting House on what is now known as PleasantSt. They had eleven children there. Her father,William Ward Sr, built a house prior to 1670 near where isnow the Soldiers Monument on West Main St in Marlborough. He was thefirst Deacon of the first Religious society organized here with about225 people by the year 1675. His son Samuel had the house when it wasdesignated as Garrison No 15. It was this place that about 25 peoplefled to when the first church was burned down by Indians in 1676.William had a grandson named Artemus Ward who was the first Commanderin Chief of all forces raised by the Colony and had charge of thetroops in Cambridge till he was superseded by General GeorgeWashington. Elizabeth Ward, Hannah's mother, is buried at the Springhill BurialGround on Spring Hill Ave. in Marlborough. He husband, William has amemorial there also, however he may be buried in Shrewsbury where hehad removed to or in Sudbury where he had come from. The William Ward house was was burned twice by raiding Indians andeach time was rebuilt until it became a large gable ended two storyColonial, with a center chimney and entrance with single lightsurrounds. It eventually passed on to the hands of Bonney Hayden, forwhich the street it is on is named "Hayden St.". The only thing the remains of the Wards is a park in Marlborough aptlynamed "Ward Park" dedicated to Artemus Ward. My sources..
