- "Robert Ward of Trimdon, gentleman took two leases one on 2 August 1615, the other on 12 June 1616. He was one of the few lessees able to sign his own name in a fair hand. There is a pedigree of the Warde family of Trimdon and Bowes in Surtees (vol.1, p.110) and there is a Robert therein who married Barbara the daughter of Thomas Blenkinsop of Helbeck in Westmoreland. They had a son called William aged 18 in 1615."
