| Notes |
- From "Some Ancestors and Descendants of Samuel Converse, Jr." page 38: "that his [William Ward] second wife, when past her 74th year, made several journeys to Boston, as appears by the records there before she affected a settlement of his estate with the exorbitant and tyrannical Andros, Governor, Judge of Probate, etc. Considering the distance she resided from Boston, exceeding thirty miles, much of the way a wilderness frequented by lurking savages, a bridle way her road and on which one of her sons had been a few years before shot down by the enemy at noonday, she must have been a person of fortitude and possessed of physical poweres to and unlimited degree." She died in Marlborough, and the inscription on her gravestone was as follows: "Here lyes the body of Elizabeth Ward, the servant of the Lord, deceased in 87 year of her age Dec. ye 9, in the year of our Lord 1700.""
