• Notes

  m1 —?— abt 1626 m2 Elizabeth abt 1638 —— All 13 children of William Ward are recorded in the Vital Records of Newton, Massachusetts. This includes children who were clearly born in England and recorded after the fact. All of these entries are marked as coming from the ‘Town copy with additions;’ however, exactly when they were recorded and by whom is not clear and the dates are not matched to any known English records. The Vital Records of Newton state that his first six children were all born in England, though if the dates are correct it seems more likely the last, Hannah, was born in Massachusetts. His will, by referring "daughters by his first wife, implies that at least the first 5 children were by his unknown first wife. There is no way to know the correct mother for the sixth child, Hannah. The children of William Ward and his second wife Elizabeth were actually born in Sudbury, Massachusetts and are also recorded there. A couple of errors brings some doubt as to the accuracy of the dates of the children born to William Ward by his first wife. Hannah is listed born in England in 1639, at a time when William Ward was already in New England. William Ward, son of William Ward is recorded in Sudbury records as born on 22 January 1640, but the Newbury records give his birthdate as 22 February 1648. [1]
