Find A Grave Memorial # 137178005. Note that the marker shown on this Memorial site is NOT the headstone for this Elizabeth. The marker is of a lady b. 1703, d. 1767. Possible alternate death location: Craven Co., NC, per researcher Dana Ward who has written a social history of the first four generations of the Seth Ward family.

NOTE: Managers of Edward Ward,

I am contacting you about this profile: Edward Ward. His wife was not Elizabeth Bowman. All the sources show his wife was:

Elizabeth Elam - Birth 2 MAR 1665 • Varina, Henrico County, Virginia, USA, Death 3 AUG 1713 • Craven, North Carolina, United States

I've written a social history of the first four generations of the descedants of Seth Ward and can provide details. But Bowman is certainly wrong. Sincerely,

Dana Ward

Origins

Gilbert Elam, Sr. was baptized at Thurnscoe Parish, Yorkshire, on May 11, 1630. He came to Virginia about 1650 with his brother Martin. He married Ann Elam, apparently his cousin, perhaps around 1657. In 1671 he patented 867 acres on the south side of the James in what is now Chesterfield County. Subsequently he patented a huge tract of 2015 acres in Varina, on the north side of the river, with his son Gilbert Jr. and Edward Ward. In his will, proved in Henrico County Court June 1, 1696, he names four children, sons Gilbert and Thomas and daughters Elizabeth and Mary.
