Notes:

The first record of William Ward is found in Sudbury in 1639. He may have been there several years. He was admitted Freeman May 10, 1643, and for many years was one of the chief men of the town. He was a deputy to the general court from Sudbury in 1644, for many years was a selectman and most of the time chairman of the board. He was the local magistrate--thecommissioner to end small causes.

He deposed October 4, 1664, that he was about sixty-one years old, fixing the year of his birth as 1603. He was one of the nine Sudbury men who petitioned for the grant subsequently known as Marlborough, and including originally not only the present city of Marlborough, but the towns of Westborough, Northborough and Southborough.

In 1660, the year of incorporation, Ward settled in the new town ofMarlborough, where his descendants have been numerous and distinguished. He was chosen the first deacon of the Marlborough church.

He drew fifty acres, the largest size of house lot granted by theproprietors. These home lots varied, according to the importance of the individual proprietor, from fifteen to fifty acres. His house was on the south side of the road nearly opposite the meeting house, and his land extended to what was then called Belcher's pond, near which the tavern of his son-in-law, Abraham Williams, was located.

Ward suffered the usual hardships and losses of the pioneer and especially during King Philip's war he lost heavily. His buildings were burned, his cattle destroyed and one son slain.

He died at Marlboro, August 10, 1687, aged eighty-five years. His will was dated April 6, 1686. He bequeathed to his wife Elizabeth; children John and Increase; the children of sons Richard and Eleazer, deceased; son-in-law Abraham Williams; to all his children by former wife and present wife. His widow died December 9, 1700, in her eighty-seventh year.

Notes:

Edwsard Jackson was a nailmaker from England, and immigrated to the newworld about 1635.

He was made freeman in 1645, and the next year purchased a farm of 500acres in Cambridge Village, of Gov. Bradstreet, paying for it Ð140. Hewas one of the deputies to the General Court from Cambridge, 17 years inall, commencing in 1647. He was a selectman of Cambridge in 1665; one
of the commissioners to end small causes in Cambridge several years, andfilled many other offices in the town. He signed the 1664 Cambridgepetition against a New England government. He was one of the petitionersin separating Cambridge Village as first a precinct and then as the townof Newton.

Johnson, in his Wonder Working Providence, says: 'He could not endure tosee the truths of Christ trampled under foot, by the erroneous party.'

Edward purchased 500 acres in Newton in 1646. He bought a house and fouracres in Cambridge (Newton) from William Redfen on 1646 Sep 8.

He left 400 acres to Harvard and 30.5 acres to the Newton Ministry. Theinventory of his estate proves him a man of wealth, for at his death hehad 1600 acres of land. His property was prized at Ð2,477.19.6, includingtwo men-servants, valued at Ð5 each. It is a remarkable fact, taken inconnection with the life and character of his descendant, Francis, whowas such an uncompromising abolitionist, that Edward, his ancestor, was aslaveholder--probably the first in Newton.
