| 2214 | In 1690, an Edward Ward is mentioned as having given testimony as follows:"Edward Ward of Mugglesworth Parke yeom aged Eighty years or thereabouts Sworne and examined.2 & 4To the Second and Fourth interrys this Depont saith that he very well knowes that there hath been for these sixty Eight years past or thereabouts a high way or Free passage att all times and seasons of the yeare for all the King and Queens subjects to goe or Travel with horses Carts Waines or other Carriages from Hedley Downe in the County of Northumberland, Dotland Parke wood, Muggleworth Parke and severall other places in the Counties of Northumberland and Durham unto the Hamlet of Blaydon and Blaydon Lead hills in the County of Durham; and saith the said high way or passage lyes and goes through the several <.....> of Ground in the Lordpp [Lordship] of Stella called the Bogg or Blackmires, and from the | Source (S886)

| 2215 | In 1779 we find Simon Ward on the muster roll of the British Royal Navy war ship ‘Daphne’. Written beside the whole list of men on this muster it says ’29th August ’79 ‘Exchanged’. This means that Simon and his fellow shipmates had been held prisoner on an American ship (perhaps the Oliver Cromwellmentioned below) and were offered in exchange for release of American prisoners of war.“Most American POWs that survived incarceration were held until late 1779, in which they were exchanged for British POWs.” | WARD, Simon (I543)
|
| 2216 | In 1821 Simon conveys a part of his land in Newport jointly to his sons James and Increase. Later, both of them sell the land and move to the Bedford area. James appears to have purchased an inn near Sackville in 1850 and Increase purchases the Three Mile House Inn near Fairview around 1830. "James Ward acquired the Ten Mile House in 1850. It became a popular stopping place where food and drink were served, people could stay the night, and fresh horses were provided for the coaches. A frequent guest was Joseph Howe, editor of the Novascotian, and later Premier, Federal Minister, and Lieutenant Governor, who won for Canadians the right of freedom of the press. The building is the sole remaining example of a stagecoach inn of the 18th century in the Halifax metropolitan area. It was maintained as an historic site for many years after it was closed as an inn, and then it was used as a local museum and craft house. It has recently been moved back, away from the highway, to make room for a gas station and then became an office building." There is evidence of James at 8 1/2 miles (1846), 9 miles (1847-1851), 10 miles (1852-57). Either he moved a lot or the Almanac in which he is recorded had trouble counting distances. (From Wayne Ingalls) According to the Acadian Recorder of Oct.23, 1830, the 'Nine Mile House' was owned by the Printer of that newspaper, Anthony H. Holland who died that year. The property was offered for rent and the contents auctioned. Then in the issue of Dec.4, 1830 an ad is published by a Thomas Goff as follows: "New Inn The subscriber having rented the premises known by the name of 'Nine Mile House', is now fitting it up as a Public Tavern, where he hopes to receive the patronage of his friends and others. Every attention will be paid to give general satisfaction. His Larder will be well supplied, his Liquors will be found of the first quality, and his stables well attended to. Thomas Goff" (interesting because 'Gough's' were connected to Three Mile House Inn through marriage to Increase Ward's granddaughter.) | WARD, James (I312)

| 2217 | In 1821 Simon conveys a part of his land in Newport jointly to his sons James and Increase. Shortly after, both of them sell the land and move to the Bedford area. Hants County Estate Papers: #332A Simon Ward Hants County Deed Books: Book 8 #273 Book 15 #25 Book 18 #223 In 1830 Increase purchased the Three Mile House Inn near Fairview for 530 pounds (Halifax County Deeds Bk 53 p. 532, mortgage p. 533) from Duncan McDougall. The inn had been built by Isaiah Shaw in 1815-16. He (Shaw) lost it a few years later when a mortgage holder foreclosed. The deed gives his occupation as a farmer. Acadian Recorder of 12 June 1830: "Lightening - The Three Mile House was struck by lightening, yesterday afternoon about 6 o'clock. A man within the house was considerably injured and 36 pains of glass were broken by the shock. It also struck on the farm adjoining occupied by Mr. Henry Veith, destroying a large tree and a gate near the house." Increase Ward appears in the 1838 census as an innkeeper. In 1851, he heads a household of 13 people. In 1861, his son Thomas is listed as the head of the household, now of 11 people. Thomas reappears in 1871 and 1881 as a hotel keeper. Increase' brother James appears to have purchased an inn at Ten Mile. "On June 12 1839 the first service of the Parish of St. John's Anglican Church was held at Three Mile Inn near the Bedford Basin. Sunday evening services were established at the schoolhouse near Three Mile Inn until November of 1840." "The Reverend Robert Fitzgerald Uniacke established a school close to the inn (I am a little foggy about the exact date). The other day at the archives I found that Increase had donated one pound and shingles towards its construction in 1842. He clearly was supportive of the church and school." (From Wayne Ingalls) Three Mile House was demolished in 1918 after the railway ran very close to the inn, and much of its waterfront property was expropriated. It was located near the present-day Windsor Exchange beside the Fairview Cove Container Terminal. | WARD, Increase (I541)

| 2218 | In 1823 John was the parish clerk for Marske according to Baines Directory. Seems to have been passed down from father to son back as far as his great and great great grandfathers. | COATES, John (I7158)
|
| 2219 | In 1836 Increase appears in the school records as a trustee for district 7 Bedford Basin. His children are listed with the number of days they attended. (from Wayne Ingalls) What is even more interesting is one child listed is Nicholas Ward, whose age (incorrectly) is given as 19. His father's name is Robert. Robert, my great great grandfather, died in 1835. What seems to be going on is that Nicholas was sent to live with his uncle, possibly to work at the inn or to find a job or get training in Halifax. | Source (S170)

One child listed is Nicholas Ward, whose age is given as 19. His father's name is Robert. So, Nicholas must have gone to live with Increase after his father Robert died in 1835. | Source (S90)

He occupied the old Berry homestead at Two Islands with his brother Robert. A grandson, Albert Berry resided on the place in 1957. Joseph and Susan had 5 sons and 7 daughters. A court case involving the Berry homestead in 1872 is very interesting: It was written in a book in 1882. "Berry vs Berry JAMES, J. - The plaintiff, being the owner in fee simple of the lands sought to be recovered in this action in 1862, gave alease to Charles Edward Berry and others, for the natural lives of one Robert Berry, his wife, and his sister Lavinia, and the natural life of the longest liver of them. In 1872 Charles Edward Berry, being a tenant for life, conveyed the same lands to the defendant, Joseph Allen Berry, and his heirs. It appears, by the evidence, that Robert Berry had died before the conveyance was made, but there was no evidence of the death of his wife or sister. The plaintiff claimed that by giving a deed in fee simple, pending the lease for life, the defendant had forfeited to the plaintiff the land in question. At the argument it was admitted by counsel for defendant, that the conveyance in fee, relied on by the plaintiff, was sufficient to create a forfeiture, and as this is not my view of the law, and the question is of supreme importance, I take the opportunity of discussing, as briefly as I can, the question whether the common law doctrine of forfeiture prevails in this Province, and, if it does, under what conditions."
