|
| 1976 | He is said to have been Master of the Hart Hounds to Richard III, to have fought at Flodden, and to have been Standard Bearer to Henry VIII at the Siege of Boulogne. The first mention of Christopher is in the will of his aunt Joan, November 28, 1472, and the next in the will of his grandmother, November 14, 1473; He was already married at the earlier of these dates to Margaret, daughter of Sir William Gascoigne of Gawthorpe. 1474, May 16. - He appeared before John Pakenham and others, Canons Residentiary, in the Chapter House at Ripon, and there acknowledged to hold of the Chapter divers lands and tenements in Givendale and Newby, by the like services as the lord of Marmyon, and by ancient rent; he did fealty, was sworn, and admitted to the said service. This was after the death of his father, which probably occurred in the autumn of 1472; he appears to have just come of age 1486.- Sir Christopher was one of the Earl of Northumberland's " 33knyghts of his feedmen " who met Henry Vll in Barncsdale, alittle beyond " Robyn Haddezston," apparently betweenDoncaster and Pontefract. Dr. Whitaker states respecting this family, "The last in the direct line (of Givendale Wards... my addition) was Sir Christopher Ward, who died Dec. 30, 13th Henry VIII.,(1522) seized of tbe Manors of Guiseley, Gevendale, Newby Eskeholt (Esholt), East Keswick, Driglington, Adwalton, Usburn Magna, and Green Hammerton, leaving one daughter and three granddaughters, namely, the daughters of his daughter Anne Nevill, deceased, his co-heirs; | WARD, Christopher (I8824)

|
| 1979 | He succeeded to the family property on the death of his brother, Sir Simon, in 1334, prior to which very little is known of him; he was a knight in 1322. In 1334 Sir John Warde, knight, released to Sir Nicholas Warde, his brother, Parson of the church of Giselay, all his right to the manor of Giselay. This deed was among the Constable charters when Robert Glover, Somerset Herald, made his Visitation of Yorkshire in 1583-4; he made a sketch of the seal, which is here reproduced. The deed was probably executed shortly after the death of Sir Simon, for the purpose of a re-settlement, and Sir John had not as yet got a new seal. The use of the label is interesting; it is generally said to be confined to the eldest son, but is here used by the heir-apparent, who was the brother, and not the son. 1339-40, Hilary Term. - Richard de Tanfeld of Ripon, merchant, sued John, brother and heir of Simon Warde of Givendale, for a debt of 54L, which Simon owed him on a bond made jointly with John de Ros, a monk of Fountains Abbey. John Warde admitted the bond, but said that he ought not to pay, because he had no lands or tenements which descended to him in fee simple after Simon's death. Tanfeld also claimed £ 126 on another bond, given by Simon jointly with Ralph de Newby, and a debt of 25 marks [16L, 13s 14d.] from John Warde himself. | WARD, Sir John (I8956)

|
| 1985 | He was a native of the Parish of St. Lawrence, Dengay in the Hundreds, Essex Co., England. In 1774 he took a passage to America aboard the ship Peggy for Baltimore, Maryland. He is listed in the ships records as an indentured servant, husbandman from Essex. On Aug 11, 1777 Abraham enlisted in the 4th Maryland Reg of the Continental Army for a 3 yr period. His regiment took part in the battle of Germantown, MD on Oct 4, 1777. He deserted from his regiment and was officially discharged from the Maryland troops in Dec 1779. He joined the 84th Reg of Foot (formerly His Majesty's Young Royal Highland Reg also known as the Royal Highland Emigrants).His enlistment in the 84th probably took place when detachments of that regiment were stationed in New York, before being sent to join the Brisish forces in the Southern campaign. After the final battle of the Revolutionary War at Eutaw Springs in the Carolinas, Abraham's detachment of the 84th Regt. joined the British garrison at Charleston, South Carolina. Sometime before the evacuation of Charleston by the British Abraham Blois was among the troops selected to be sent to the Island of Jamaica to defend the island against attacks by the French and Spanish. The detachment of the 84th regt. which served in Jamaica did not return to Nova Scotia until Nov. 7, 1783, that is a month after the other companies of the 2nd batt, 84th Regt. were disbanded at Fort Edward, Windsor, NS (FOR further information on Abraham Blois and his life during the Revolution War see Ralph S. Blois' Blois-Smith Family-Hants Co., Nova Scotia, Beaverton, Oregon, 1986) The Craig indes of the 2nd Bn., 84th Regt. shows Corporal Abraham Bloyce as a member of the 9th co. in the final muster rolls before the disbanding of the batt. Since Abraham served in the Southern Campaign and on the Island of Jamaica he was not disbanded with the other companies of the battalion which he served in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and what is now the province of New Brunswick. Abraham Blios was one of the ex-soldiers of the 84th Reg. who remained in Hants co. to receive a share of the regimental lands granted in Douglas Township to Col.John Small for the benefit of the officers, men and families of th 2nd Bn 84th Regt. There is a record of Abraham receiving 4 acres if the regimental lands from Col. Small on Dec 30, 1785 and there is also Abraham's own statement in a land petition that he had received 200 acres in Douglas Township. In another land petition Abraham states that he had settled on "lands of Messrs. Cochrane" which probably meant that he had acted as foreman or overseer for the Cochran lands. His name appears on the Poll Tax Records for Windsor, NS in 1791 which probably indicates that he was in that area as a Farm Foreman on one of the Windsor estates owned by officials of Halifax. The Whittier Notes quote from Abraham Blois' land petitions. In one he stated that he had a wife and 12 children--"four have arrived nearly to man's estate". He asked for an additional 500 acres. On March 16, 1809 the Council at Halifax approved 300 acres. In 1811 he again applied for land and requested that his sons Henry and William receive grants. Abraham, William and Henry were granted land on 21 Feb 1815 on the Gore line of Douglas. Abraham receiving 500 acres (Lot #1), William, 100acres in Lot 2 and 100 acres in Lot 3 and Henry received 200 acres in Lot #3. The land was bounded on the Gore line of Douglas adjacent to lands of Nathan Smith, Thos. Walsh, James Campbell and others,the rear line of the Kennetcook lots, James and Peter McDonald and the Blois lands. (The King to Abraham, William and Henry Blois, regt. by the Prov. Sect. 27 Feb 1815) When Gen. John Small, the former commander of the 2nd Bn., 84th Regt. died in 1796. while serving as Governor of the Isle of Guernsey, the government of Nova Scotia took the unusual step of escheating the grant made to Small in trust for the officers, men and the families of the 2nd Battalion. This action left th families of the ex-soldiers of the 84th Regt., who had received land deeds from Col. Small without formal titles to their lands. In order to solve the Douglas land problems the government appointed commissioners to review all land claims. The report of the commissioners dated 1800 listed Abraham Blois as the owner of land on the Gore or Beechwood (Douglas Township). Blois had received this land by purchase from Abraham England who had also served in the 2nd Bn., 84th regt. When the commissioners made their report, there were 10 in the Blois family and it was reported that"considerable improvements are making on this lot" Abraham moved to the Gore area in 1794 since he was listed in the Windsor, NS assessment for 1792-1793 and in the Douglas assessments of 1794 and 1795 when he showns as a resident of Kennetcook. The official record of Abraham Blois 500 acres in Douglas Township shows that it was located in a block of 6,950 acres (Lot 9) bounded on the rear line of Small's grand and being the rear line of Alexander Grant's lots.
