Research Notes:
moved to Worcester some time after 1712, but retained his interest in Sudbury, purchasing in 1716 from his brother-in-law, John Maynard, and his wife Lydia, all the latter's interest in her father's estate in Sudbury and elsewhere. He erected a sawmill on his farm in Worcester where the "Red Mills" were afterwards located and where still stands the building formerly occupied by the Crompton Loom Works. His will bears the date of his death, and apparently was made in haste. Of his children, only the oldest two are named. He left them legacies, and gave the residue of his estate to his wife, Joanna, to be disposed of among his other children at her discretion. She and her son Isaac were residing in Framingham, Mass, in 1725, at which time she remained a widow. [Ref: Martyn WARD p80]

moved in 1716 to Worcester [Ref: Sav-age WARD Obadiah]
