| 2163 | How ironic that I've been a great admirer of his paintings for years and have now discovered that he is a fifth cousin of mine. My gggg grandmother was Ruth Church, a descendent of Frederic's 4th great grandfather, Richard Church who was my 8th great grandfather! ---------------------------- From Wikipedia: Frederic Edwin Church (May 4, 1826 – April 7, 1900) was an American landscape painter born in Hartford, Connecticut. He was a central figure in the Hudson River School of American landscape painters, best known for painting large landscapes, often depicting mountains, waterfalls, and sunsets. Church's paintings put an emphasis on realistic detail, dramatic light, and panoramic views. He debuted some of his major works in single-painting exhibitions to a paying and often enthralled audience in New York City. In his prime, he was one of the most famous painters in the United States. For complete bio see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederic_Edwin_Church | CHURCH, Frederic Edwin (I23501)

| 2166 | Hundreds of Mourners at Marske Man's FuneralThe weather conditions did not deter hundreds of in mourners from attending the funeral at Marske, Swaledale of Mr Joseph Fawcett (64) of Manor House, whose death was reported last week. The smaII church of St. Edmund's could not accommodate the greater part of the mourners many of whom had come from all parts of the Dale and Richmondshire.The remains were conveyed from the farm on a horse-drawn farm wagon, and the bearers Messrs J. Fawcett S. Fawcett, J. Dixon, A. Metcalfe, J. R. Langstaff, and R. Constantine, were nephews of the deceased.Members of the Lennox Lodge of Freemasons and the Royal Arch Chapter; Richmond and the Thorn-borough Lodge Leyburn of which deceased was a member, lined up on each side of the entrance to the Churchyard as the cortege arrived and they headed the procession to the graveside. Rev. W. Steel, vicar, officiated at the service in the church and at the gravesite. The Masonic brethren, led by the Rev. B. W. Crawford, vicar of Crakehall and Chaplan to the Beresford Pierse Lodge of Freemasons, Bedale. paid tribute with their brief service and each member filed past the grave into which were dropped sprigs of mimosa. It was an impressive scene and fine tribute to one who was a typical country gentleman.Mrs T. W. Metcalfe was organist.Relatives were : Mr Percy and William Fawcett.

| 2167 | I am not completely certain that Jane's parents are William and Lydia. This is based on her middle name of 'Hull' being the same as William's mother and the fact that Jane names her son 'William'. | WALKER, Jane Hull (I1510)

| 2168 | I am speculating that Joan married William Stapelton after 1475 because of an entry in the 'Memorials of the Church of St. Peter and Wilfrid', Ripon:"Gyvendale, dnae. Johannae Warde seniori, 12d." The only Johannae Warde senior in Givendale in 1475 would be the widow of Sir Roger, 'Joan'. | Source (S2027)

In wytnesse hereof, Mr. George Catheryke, Sir Thomas Wylson, Robert Wylde, Peter Mansell, and Anthony Wylde. * The testatrix was the widow of Mathew Witham of Brettanby, whose will we have before given. Her maiden name was probably Weldon. For more particulars about her family see the wills of her husband and her son-in-law William Witham, which are given above. + The Weldons were a family of gentry, probably of Northumbrian extraction, which settled at Colborne, in the parish of Catterick. John Weldon of Colborne, gentleman, who was perhaps the brother of the testatrix, by his will dated on the last of April, 1563, leaves to his son Edward " a sygnet of gold weing xl s., paing to iche of his thre brethren (Robert, William, and Thomas Weldon) ten shillings for there porcions thereof;" and he also makes Isabel his wife his executrix. In his Inventory, made 17th January. 1563-4, "a standing bedstead corded with a sparver of dernex and courtens," is valued at xiij s. iiij d. X Of Colborne, gentleman. In his will, dated on the 14th of March, 1581, he mentions his two nieces Elizabeth and Anne Weldon, his own daughters Elizabeth and Isabel Weldon, his brother Thomas Weldon, and his wife Dorothy. He also makes provision for the maintenance of his son Francis at the grammar-school and university, and makes the " worshipfull Raphe Lawson of Burghe, esq., and Elizabeth his wyfe, his singuler frends," his supervisors, begging " there worshippes to vouchsafe for Ciod's sake and the consanguinitie betwixte them to take paynes." | WELDEN, Anna (I7621)

| 2171 | I don't know where this Morton Ward is from. The 1871 census says he was born in Nova Scotia. Yet, in the book YARMOUTH GENEALOGIES, No. 87 Editor Yarmouth Herald: by George S. Brown, 30, 1901, April, Yarmouth, NS it says that Malinda Terfry "married Morton Ward of Boston and had 5 children." | WARD, Robert Morton (I13471)

| 2172 | I found a Martha Scott married to an Abraham Bensel 03 MAY 1797 Reformed Dutch Church, Shawangunk, Ulster, New York. Also found an obituary for her published in the New York Times of July 15, 1856: In this city, on Monday, July 14, Mrs. Martha Bensel, in the 81st year of her age, relict of the late Abraham Bensel. Her funeral will take place on Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock from the residence of her son James B.

| 2177 | I have added Fitzgerald as a child of James William Ward because of several reasons: 1. The birthdate fits 2. James William's obit says he left 5 children behind. 3. Fitzgerald Uniacke Ward is obviously named after the Rev. Robert Fitzgerald Uniacke who set up the church nearby the Three Mile House Inn where the family lived. 4. James William Ward also name another son after this same Rev. only used 'Robert Fitzgerald'. 5. His wife Amelia was from Windsor, Hants County where Increase Ward originated. | WARD, Fitzgerald Uniacke (I734)

| 2178 | I have added Richard to the children of Symond Ward, only because there was a Richard Ward living in Marske in 1712 who was a plaintiff in a court case involving debts owed to a Ferdinando Penkhurst over "land in Marske". John Hutton and Dorothy his wife of Marske Manor are noted as Defendants. Re: Ferdinando Penkhurst: Found this: Draft court roll of the manor of Battersden otherwise Pennybridge, held at Pennybridge "Death of Ferdinando Penkhurst, esq; he devised the property to John Dyke, esq, who bequeathed it to his sister Dorothy, wife of John Hutton of Marske in Yorkshhire, esq; he appeared by his tenant George Piper, and paid 1s 3d for two reliefs Piece of land called Longham, quitrent 7½ d Fealty by Joseph Bowyer, brother of Thomas Bowyer, eldest son of Joseph Bowyer Piece of land called Bulletts Haugh, quitrent 1 d | WARD, Richard (I1673)

| 2179 | I have decided to leave Frances in my database, though she is not connected (yet) to anyone in my tree. I feel she is significant because: 1. she was married in Marske 2. her father James Ward was from East Layton where my earliest Ward (Ralph) was from. 3. Orgate Farm, where my ancestors Ralphe Ward and Eden Coates lived was owned by the Hutton Corbett who was the grandfather of Frances' husband Bryan Corbett. | WARD, Frances (I7306)

| 2180 | I have found that my DNA matches with descendents of Cattee (Church) Troop, so she must be a descendent of Edward Church and Grace Shaw of Little Compton, Rhode Island.

MARRIED: About 1756 in Billerica, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA to Valentine TROOP, Sr., 1713-1776... NOTE: Capt. Jacob Troop's DOB Pre-Dates the Marriage Date of Cattee & Valentine... Valentine may have been married before Cattee & had a First Son with a Another Wife... | CHURCH, Catherine (I1737)

| 2181 | I have no documentation for this Martin Hunter as a son of David and Margaret. But there was a Martin Hunter, born 1776 who is sometimes mistaken as the Martin Hunter who married Mary Polly Berry, but I am convinced they are two separate individuals. | HUNTER, Martin (I2878)

| 2182 | I have no source for this birth date. I have only taken it from other Ancestry trees. I have searched for a baptism record but it appears there is none in existance. In the 1841 census she says she was born in Yorkshire, and her age is 55 which would put her birth as 1786 not 1782.. In the 1851 census she says she was born in Grinton Yorkshire and her age is 68, putting her birth at 1783, so more research needed. However, she does fit into William and Anna's family very well, since they were married in January of 1782 but if Margaret is not their child then they had no children until September 1784 which is not very likely. Also, Margaret and James Cooper's naming pattern fits with Margaret's father being a William. Also if she is a daughter of William Ward and Anna Coates it makes sense she was named Margaret since Anna's mother was Margaret. | WARD, Margaret (I7490)

| 2184 | I have placed Phebe here as a daughter of Caleb Berry, only because Caleb's mother was a Phebe, and his age would be right for her birth year. Problem is that Mary Doncaster would only have been 10 yrs old, so it is possible Caleb had a wife previous to Mary. | BERRY, Phebe (I6854)
|
| 2185 | I have put Edward in the tree as he must be somehow related to Ralph Ward of Marske. There is a burial record in the Marske parish register for an 'Ann, wife of Edward Ward of Stanup (Stanhope), Wardale (Weardale), buried 13 Sep 1658.' So, why was this Ann buried in Marske, unless she was related to someone there. Ralph Ward (married 1638) was buried 2 months earlier than Ann, in July 1658. Maybe Edward was Ralph's brother and went to visit him on his deathbed along with his wife, Ann. While there, Ann may have caught what Ralph had and died there. Also, in the Durham Hearth Tax list of 1666 there is an Edward Warde in Muggleswick close to Stanhope. In a protestation letter, dated 1673, regarding the so-called 'Muggleswick Conspiracy' most of the citizens, who had been indicted, signed their names, including several Wards: "and finally know this that all therein is truth and nothing but the truth, as all those whose names are here subscribed will testifie. ...Edward Ward, Margret Ward,... Francis Ward, Cuthbert Ward, Cuthbert Ward, elder, Mary Ward, Elizabeth Ward,... Elizabeth Ward,..." Edward's wife, Ann, would have already died by the date of this letter. Another account describes the situation this way: " The churchyard at Muggleswick contains the grave of a person of gigantic stature, one Edward Ward. The giant flourished, it is said, in the seventeenth century. If tradition can be relied on, his limbs were of such an enormous size that a favourite hound of his littered in his wooden shoe. During the brief reign of Presbytery and Independency under the Commonwealth and Protectorate, the bulk of the Muggleswick people seem to have abjured Episcopacy or Prelacy ; and Richard Bradley, master of arts, who had been appointed to take their spiritual oversight in 1641-the year in which the contest between the King and the Parliament began-was extruded from his living, and a Puritan preacher named Thomas Roger, was chosen in his place. But after the restoration of the Monarchy, when everything that had been done in Church and State during the interregnum was annulled, Roger was deposed in his turn, along with other two thousand Nonconformist ministers. This violent change was naturally distasteful to the Puritanical portion of the Muggleswicians, who complained loudly, but in vain, that an unsuitable person was to be imposed upon them to guard and rule them in spiritual matters. Mr. Surtees, in his invaluable History of the Countyiof Durham, has extracted from the first volume of a series of pamphlets presented to the British Museum by George III. the following specimen of a petition, signed by sixty-seven persons, including women and children, whom Mr. Bradley had indicted for absenting themselves from the communion " Seems logical that Edward and Ann would be Ralph's parents. Near Stanhope (just south of Muggleswick) in Blanchland Abbey Parish Churchyard (Anglican), there is a headstone for a John Ward buried 22 Jun 1782 and also his son John, buried Apr 1780. The inscription reads: "Hear lies the body of John Ward of Burnshieldhaugh who died June 22, 1782 aged 75. And of his son John who died April 15 1780 aged 22." | WARD, Edward (I7154)
|
| 2186 | I know that a Sarah Berry was the mother of Matthew Logan Wood, but I do not have documentation to prove that she was a daughter of William Berry and Phoebe.

| 2191 | I wonder if this is the same Duncan McDougall that was the one-time owner of the Three Mile House Inn before Increase Ward bought it. He is listed as a 'mason' on his son Abraham's marriage entry. Also, son Abraham was born in Halifax in 1828, only 2 years before Increase bought the inn. Also, Duncan and Increase were related through marriage (Duncan's wife was a child of Abraham BLOIS and so was Increase's sister's spouse Daniel Garret BLOIS. so it's definitely possible. | MCDOUGALL, Daniel Duncan (I4148)

| 2192 | I'm not 100% convinced that this George is the one born in Greatham. There is a possibility he could have been a son of William Ward b. Kirkby Ravensworth in 1710. Although, George does name his first son John, and his last daughter Susannah. | WARD, George (I8490)
|
| 2193 | I've entered this Mary as the wife of Ralph Ward based on her burial record (they both were buried at Forcett and both of East Layton. Mary's record says of Carkin, which is a farm house in East Layton) I realize this doesn't absolutely prove anything. It's just an assumption that she would be his wife since there are no other female Wards buried there before Ralph. At Ralph's death in 1658 his will does not include a wife, so she did predecease him. NOTE: I previously thought his wife was Jane based on a burial record at FMP of a Jane Ward of East Layton 14 Aug 1654. But this record proved to be an error in transcription. It was actually James, not Jane. | UNKNOWN, Mary (I7775)

| 2198 | Illegit. Mother unknown. In the will of his grandmother Joan (Tunstall/Warde/Stapelton) it is requested that his father provide for him as follows: "I will that my son, John Warde, gyfe to Roger, his basterd son, x marke, whych x marke he awe me for corn and catall, what tyme as he thinkes most necessary to the said chyld." This Roger, could have had a son born by 1508 and named him after his father John. This John could then have a son by 1528 who could be the John Warde baptized 1518 in Aldborough (near Skelton) who named a son Christopher. He could also have had a son Roger who could be the Roger born abt 1543 who married Cecily Dixon in Bedale in 1564. It has been speculated by other Ward researchers that Roger was the father of Marmaduke Ward of Mulwith. This needs more research. It does not seem likely to me, since Marmaduke was born abt 1552! I'm sure he couldn't have been 80 when fathering Roger! | WARD, Roger (I8843)
