Families of Old Fairfield makes the following statement on p.643:

"....family of Richard Ward of Gorleston or Homersfield have been investigated. No such person as Richard Ward, of Homersfield and Gorleston, Suffolk was found; no "Anne" Ward, {fictional profile} Gunville family existed in that vicinity as lords of the manor; and every reference given has proved to be fictitous. It is likely that these statements were the invention of a fraudulent genealogist, innocently accepted by members of the Ward family, through whom they found their way into the book."

This is an unrelated family.

Richard Ward and Anne Guiville (Gonville) were married about 1583.

Hello Robert.
I live in Gorleston and research for our local Heritage Group. I can assure you there was a Richard Ward living here during the late 1500's when he was a Chiever (steward elected from the chief tenants)) who collected the yearly rents. He is in the memorandum book for 1595. Also St. Mary Magdalene Church in Gorleston was founded in 1957 and has no graveyard. Our oldest is St. Andrews Church.
Kind regards.
Joan (Lobban)

Summary

Andrew Warde (all his descendants would drop the final e) came to Massachusetts on the same ship as John Winthrop, Sir Richard Saltonstall, and other famous immigrants. He settled first in Watertown, Massachusetts, where he was admitted as a freeman in 1634.

He was one of the first settlers of Wethersfield, Connecticut, where he served as a collector of rates and from where he served in the upper house of the General Court. He moved again, this time to Stamford, in 1640, and served there as constable in 1642 and magistrate in 1646. He moved finally to Fairfield in 1651.

Andrew Ward was one of the earliest and most important settlers of Connecticut and seems to have had a passion for settling towns, being a founder of no fewer than four of them.

Among his almost innumerable descendants are Henry Ward Beecher, the most famous American preacher of the nineteenth century; the latter's sister, Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of Uncle Tom's Cabin; General Joseph Wheeler, hero of the Confederacy and the Spanish-American War; Helen Louise Leonard, better known as Lillian Russell; and Henry Fairfield Osborne, the great paleontologist and director of the American Museum of Natural History.

Notes

"...came over with Winthrop in 1630 and settled in Watertown, Massachusetts. He was appointed by the General Court of the Bay Colony to be one of the Commissioners to govern the people of Connecticut in 1636, one of the five "worthies" who declared war on the Pequots."

--from Descendents of Henry Edward Crampton, M.D., 1837-1899, Printed by Henry E. Crampton, Naples, FL, 1987, p. 11.

Property and Career

Andrew arrived in New England aboard the ship Arabella in 1633 and was a freeman in Boston in 1634 and was a member of the Watertown church in May of that year. He was granted a ten acre homelot in Watertown @ 1633 which he apparently either sold or granted to his Sherman in-laws (Edmond, either father or brother) when he moved to Connecticut.

On 3 Mar 1635/36 he was appointed by the Massachusetts General Court to serve as one of eight commissioners governing the colony of Connecticut for the next year. On the 24 Mar 1640 land inventory in Wethersfield, MA he is listed as owner of eight parcels:

Homelot - 4 acres
Great meadow - 14 acres and 2 "roods"
Great meadow and swamp - 4 acres and 3 "roods" Backlots - 2 acres and 3 "roods" Dry swamp - 8 acres Wet swamp - 6 acres West Field - 54 acres East side of the Connecticut River - 264 acres

"While in Wethersfield, Andrew was named "Connecticut Assistant" April 1665 - May 1637 which made him one of the first judges in the colony. He served as Deputy to the General Court for Wethersfield from November 1637 to the term served by his last appointment there in January of 1640 at which time he moved his family to Stamford CT. From Stamford, he again served as Deputy to the General Court in April 1644 and was a judge at New Haven in October 1646. In 1648 he made his final move, settling at Fairfield CT from which he continued his public service having been appointed Deputy to the General Court from May 1648 to October 1658.

Will

Andrew's will made 8 Jun 1659, estate inventory dated 18 October 1659, proved 2 Nov 1659; May be son of Richard of Gorleston, Co. Suffolk England. He called himself "Andrew Ward of Fairfield" and bequeathed to:

'Ester my beloved wife .. £ 40 and one third part of all my lands & housing in Fairfeild during her widowhood' "my son John .. £ 50 at age twenty-one" "my daughter Sarah .. £ 40 within one year after her marriage" "my daughter Abigail .. £ 40 at age eighteen" "sones Andrew & Samuel" .. all the rest of his property when they attain the age of 21. "Item 7 .. And for the rest of my children, they have received their full portion all ready except my son Edmond, who if he come to this place my will is that out of my two youngest sons Andrew and Samuel's portions there may be paid £ 20".
Fairfield Probate Records indicate that the inventory of Andrew Ward's estate was taken 18 Oct 1659 and amounted to £ 242 10s including "house and lands" valued at £ 80." -Jana Ulrich

Unclear as to whether he is the son or grandson of Richard Ward.

---

Immigrated aboard the ship Arabella in 1633 to Boston, MA. Among his fellow passengers were John Winthrop, Jr., later Governor of Massachusetts, the Rev. Mr. George Phillips, and other emigrants from Suffolk and Essex counties. He settled first in Watertown, MA. From The Great Migration Begins, 1995, pages 1918-1921: MIGRATION: 1633; FIRST RESIDENCE: Watertown; REMOVES: Wethersfield 1635, Stamford 1641, Fairfield 1648; CHURCH MEMBERSHIP: Membership in Watertown church prior to 14 May 1634 implied by freemanship; FREEMAN: 14 May 1634 [MBCR 1:369]; EDUCATION: He signed his will and his wife made her mark to hers. His inventory included "books and honey" valued at £1. The inventory of his widow included "books" valued at 15s. and "a Great Bible" valued at 15s; OFFICES: Commissioner for Massachusetts Bay to govern new settlements on the Connecticut, 3 March 1635/6 [MBCR 1:171]. Connecticut Assistant, April 1636, September 1636, March 1637, May 1637 [CT Civil List 58]. Deputy for Wethersfield to Connecticut Court, November 1637, March 1638, April 1638, August 1639, September 1639, January 1640 [CT Civil List 58]. Deputy for Stamford to New Haven Court, April 1644 [CT Civil List 58]. New Haven Assistant, October 1646 [CT Civil List 58]. Deputy for Fairfield to Connecticut Court, May 1648, May 1649, September 1649, May 1650, September 1650, May 1651, May 1652, May 1653, September 1653, May 1654, September 1654, May 1655, May 1656, October 1658 [CT Civil List 58]. ESTATE: Andrew Ward was granted a ten-acre homestall in Watertown, probably in 1633 [WaBOP 99]. In the Inventory of Grants and the Composite Inventory, this homestall belonged to Nicholas Busby, who also held many parcels granted to Edmond Sherman, father-in-law or brother-in-law of Andrew Ward [WaBOP 50, 99, 135]. Apparently Edmond Sherman acquired the homestall from Ward upon his removal to Wethersfield, and based on the proprietary rights accompanying the homestall received further grants in Watertown, which he then sold to Busby. In the Wethersfield land inventory on 24 March 1640/1 Andrew Ward held eight parcels of land: homelot of four acres; fourteen acres and two roods in the great meadow; four acres and three roods of great meadow and swamp; two acres and three roods in the back lots; eight acres of dry swamp; six acres of wet swamp; fifty-four acres in the West Field; and two hundred sixty-four acres on the east side of Connecticut River [WetLR 1:250]. In his will, dated 8 June 1659 and proved 2 November 1659, Andrew Ward of Fairfield bequeathed to "Ester my beloved wife" £40 and one third part of all my lands & housing in Fairfeild during her widowhood"; to "my son John" £50 at age twenty-one; to "my daughter Sarah" £40 "within one year after her marriage"; to "my daughter Abigall" £40 at age eighteen; (the next clause is partly lost to fire, but apparently gives land jointly to sons Andrew and Samuel at age twenty-one); residue of moveables to be divided equally between sons Andrew and Samuel; "and for the rest of my children they have received their full portions already except my son Edmond who if he come to this place my will is that out of my two younger sons Andrew and Samuell's portions there may be paid twenty pounds" [Fairfield PR 1:58-59]. The inventory of the estate of Andrew Ward was taken 18 October 1659 and totalled £242 10s., including £80 in "house and lands" [Fairfield PR 1:59-60].
