captured and rep. 1679 and 1680 [Ref: Sav-age WARD Samuel]

Samuel's house-lot (by reversion from his brother Richard) was west of the Indian line, and probably near the old John Gleason place. [Ref: Martyn WARD p70]

His contract with his parents and his standing under the will of his father are given in [Ref: Martyn WARD p57-58]

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 [Ref: Martyn WARD p70]

In Will dated May 22, 1727, Samuel Ward says he is "well stricken in years and crazy in body, but 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. [Ref: Martyn WARD p70, WardAH WARD p15]
