Samuel Ward (American statesman)
Samuel Ward (May 25, 1725 – March 26, 1776) was an American farmer, politician, Supreme Court Justice, Governor of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, and delegate to the Continental Congress.
He was the son of Rhode Island governor Richard Ward, was well-educated, and grew up in a large Newport, Rhode Island family.
After marrying, he and his wife received property in Westerly, Rhode Island from his father-in-law, and the couple settled there and took up farming.
He entered politics as a young man and soon took sides in the hard-money vs. paper-money controversy, favoring hard money or specie.
His primary rival over the money issue was Providence politician Stephen Hopkins, and the two men became bitter rivals—and the two also alternated as governors of the Colony for several terms.
During this time of political activity, Ward became a founder and trustee of Brown University.
The most contentious issue that he faced during his three years as governor involved the Stamp Act, which had been passed by the British Parliament just before he took office for the second time.
The Stamp Act placed a tax on all official documents and newspapers, infuriating the American colonists by being done without their consent.
Representatives of the colonies met to discuss the act
but, when it came time for the colonial governors to take a position, Ward was the only one who stood firm against it, threatening his position but bringing him recognition as a great patriot.
Ward's final term as governor ended in 1767, after which he retired to work on his farm in Westerly.
However, he was called back into service in 1774 as a delegate to the Continental Congress.
War was looming with England, and to this end he devoted all of his energy.
After hostilities began, Ward stated, "'Heaven save my country,' is my first, my last, and almost my only prayer."
He died of smallpox during a meeting of the Congress in Philadelphia, three months before the signing of the American Declaration of Independence, and was buried in a local cemetery.
His remains were later re-interred in the Common Burying Ground in Newport.
