WARD
Samuel Ward, my 10th great grandfather, was an
early settler at Hingham, Massachusetts.
He might have been the brother of the Henry Ward who was buried there on
15 May 1642. His first wife was Mary
Hilliard, who died at Hingham 28 November 1638 ten days after giving birth to
my 9th great grandfather, Samuel, Jr. Mary had given four children to Samuel, Sr. His second wife was Frances Pitcher, the widow
of a Mr. Reycroft. Frances died in 1690
and is buried at Copp’s Hill Burial Ground in Boston.
Samuel first owned land in Hingham that is now part of the
town of Hull, Massachusetts. He removed to Charlestown where he owned a lot of
land and was known as “Mr.” He died on
31 August 1682 in Charlestown, and his will mentions his wife, Frances, his son
Samuel (and Samuel’s children), son-in-law Isaac Lobdell, and also his daughter
Mary and her husband Ambrose Gale (brother of my 8th great
grandfather Edmund Gale (1640- 1716) of Beverly, Massachusetts). He left an island between Hingham and Hull to
Harvard College [Middlesex County
Probate, File #23742]. Samuel was buried
at the Phipps Street Burial Ground in Charlestown.
His son, Samuel Ward, Jr., my 9th great
grandfather, died in the battle against Quebec in 1690 serving under Sir
William Phips. He married very well,
first to my 9th great grandmother, Abigail Maverick, the daughter of
Moses Maverick and Mayflower passenger Remember Allerton. His second wife was Sarah Bradstreet, widow
of Richard Hubbard, and daughter of Governor Simon Bradstreet and the poet Anne
Dudley (she was the daughter of Governor Thomas Dudley). Their daughter, Martha Ward, my 8th
great grandmother, married John Tuthill of Ipswich in 1689.
