  • Notes 

    • Commentary: DWD 2.01

      Little is known about William Ward or where he came from before he met and married Agnes Darwin. Agnes has her name spelt both Agness and Agathy on the Louisa County records and it is interesting to note that she and her husband bought a 50 acre tract of land from Charles & Sarah Dickenson on 12 April 1773 for 21 pounds in the name of their son John Ward, that has a similar ring to the 1746 deed of William Darwin insomuch as the Ward deed states 'William Ward & Agness shall have their lives, the longest liver of them' (DB D p.486). Noting here that their eldest son John Ward was only 13 years old in 1773. William Ward made his will 6 April 1799 and died at the end of the year when his will was returned 14 Dec. 1799.

      Agnes would live on for nearly another twenty years and made her will 16 Jan. 1810 and it was returned for probate 14 Dec. 1818/9.
