On 1 September 1696 ELIZABETH BLACKMAN, daughter of WILLIAM BLACKMAN SR. & DOROTHY DEALEY BLACKMAN, became the second wife of RICHARD WARD, JR., a widower from Henrico County, Virginia, formerly married to MARTHA BRANCH by whom he had 3 children and who died in August 1696. Together Elizabeth & Richard Ward had six known children: COL. EDWARD WARD (removed to Onslow County, NC), CATHERINE WARD, THOMAS WARD, RICHARD WARD III, BLACKMAN WARD (of Dale Parish, Chesterfield Co., VA), and ELIZABETH WARD. Elizabeth's father, WILLIAM BLACKMAN, SR. died in Henrico County between Nov. 11, 1697, when he wrote his will, and April 1, 1698, when it was probated. His wife, DOROTHY DEALEY BLACKMAN was named Executrix. His wife and four children inherited his estate, WILLIAM BLACKMAN, JR. received the southern half of his land on Grindalls Run. JOHN BLACKMAN received the northern half. The witnesses to the will included William Blackman, Sr.'s former ward ROBERT BROADWAY and JOHN GOODE, whose daughter ELIZABETH GOODE married JOHN BLACKMAN. Four years later in 1701, DOROTHY BLACKMAN, who was no longer able to live alone, went to live with her son JOHN BLACKMAN on a plantation he had traded with Henry Ascough (formerly the land of Robert Broadway), for the land he (John) had inherited from his father. Called Orick als Warrick (but generally referred to as Warwick), it was located just north of Falling Creek on the King's Road, and was bounded by the James River on one side and WILLIAM BLACKMAN, JR.'s land on Grindall Run on the other. John and his mother formalized the arrangement in a legal agreement in which he agreed to live with his mother, support her, and manage her affairs for as long as she lived. In turn, she agreed she would not sell or give away anything she possessed, and that at her death, none of her other children would have a claim to any of her estate. The agreement was signed Nov. 18, 1701. The witnesses included John Goode, who was, or would became, John's father-in-law. On May 30, 1702, Dorothy Blackman appointed her friend CAPTAIN GILES WEBB as her attorney. She died by Oct. 25, 1704, and John sold Warrick back to Mary Ascough, the widow of the man from whom he had obtained it. ELIZABETH BLACKMAN WARD died sometime before May 1721 in Henrico County. Her husband, Richard Ward, Jr. then married thirdly the widow MARY JONES.
