From William Ward Genealogy

"8. Samuel Ward, born September 24, 1641, in Sudbury, Mass., died November 15, 1729, in Marlborough, Mass. He married (1) June 6, 1667, in Marlborough, Sarah Howe, sister-in-law of his sister Elizabeth (9), born September 25, 1644, in Sudbury, died August 11, 1707, in Marlborough. He married (2) May 25, 1710, Elizabeth Beers, daughter of Captain Richard and Elizabeth Beers of Watertown, Mass. She survived him. Samuel's house-lot (by reversion from his brother Richard—see page 44 of Chapter VIII) was west of the Indian line, and probably near the old John Gleason place. His contract with his parents and his standing under the will of his father are told on pages 57 and 58 of Chapter X.
"Under him, succeeding his father, the original "William Ward" house (i.e., the remaining structure on the original site) was frequently the place of the midweek church meetings and also the recognized abode of visiting and temporary ministers. During the intermittent French and Indian wars from 1689 to 1713, it was a garrison-house as during King Philip's War.
"In his will dated May 22,1727, Samuel Ward says he is "well stricken in years and crazy in body, but of perfect mind, and memory." His will was contested in Probate Court, December 19, 1729, by all his children and heirs (.except his son Samuel, the chief beneficiary in virtue of a concurrent agreement to care for him and his wife during their lives) on the ground that he was crazy in mind as well as in body. At length the heirs agreed among themselves touching his will, and desired the judge to approve it.
"Children, first marriage, born in Marlborough:
63. Sarah, born April 23, 1668, died unmarried.
64. Joseph, born 1670.
65. Elizabeth, bom March 21, 1672.
66. Mary, born 1676.
67. Samuel, born March 18, 1678.
68. Bethiah, born May 25, 1681, died 1757 in Marlborough, Mass., unmarried. She was a lace-maker.
69. Daniel, born 1687, died April 13, 1700, in Marlborough, Mass."[5]
