A READER.


This is somewhat difficult to do; the
first Assembly under Yeardley. was in
1919. Many of the Wards, as given by
Henning. were in the Colonial militia !:
but this Capt" Ward may have had
that title given him complimentary of
some county Office, as was usually
done. There a but two Wards men,
toned by Henning as being Capt.
these We're Captain Charles Ward. who
was killed at the battle of Point Pleas
ant. 1874, and Captain James Ward
who was also in the same battle; but
this would make him too old to have
been the same Captain Ward Of the
House Of Bursesses OF 1913; SO we
must look for the first Ward recorded
who was Thomas Ward, private en-
rolled in the militia of Surry county.
Va, In 1887 and we think he Must
have been the Capt" Ward mention
ed above.
Henning also gives a Seth Ward
in Virginia. and 1t is probable the
family here descended from the same
as that of Bishop Seth Ward, OF Eng
land. Still, the Norther,, Wards claims
different descent, and among them
Seth Ward.
