His first w., whom he prob. m. in Eng., d. in Hing. 28 Nov. 1638. 

 He subsequently removed from here and took a sec. w., whose chris. 

 name was Frances. She d. 10 June, 1690, set. 83 yrs. " I presume," 

 says Mr. Savage, that " he is the benefactor who gave to Har. Coll. the 

 Island lying off the harbor of Hingham called Bumkin's, or Ward's 

 Island, and he may be the same that lived, 1658-1677, at Charlestown, 

 and d. there, 31 Aug. 1682, aged 89 years." In our early history, the 

 est's on Main, between High and Friend Sts., belonged to Samuel 

 Ward, and were sold by him to Jabez Wilder. He also owned other 

 lots of land, and the street leading from High to Cushing St. un- 

 doubtedly took its name from the fact that sev. generations of his
