  Notes	WWG #2. Turner; Farmer. Check Cambridge, MA, for marriage verification. Freeman, 1685, Newton. - Upon his marriage he settled in Newton, the home of his wife's parents, building a house in the southeasterly part of the village upon a tract of forty-five acres belonging to his father-in-law and subsequently deeded to him by the latter. He had learned the trade of turner and combined its practise with farming, in time increasing his holdings to several hundred acres. When Newton became a separate township in 1679, he was elected to its first board of selectmen and as its first representative in the General Court, being several times re-elected to both posts. He was also a deacon of its first church. In 1701 he disposed of his real estate, which lay mostly in one body, by deeds of gift to his sons. The quantity of the land given to each was about one hundred acres. The house that John Ward built for his bride, was later fortified as a "garrison-house" during times of Indian alarms. It was taken down in 1821, after having sheltered seven generations of Wards. (The William Ward Genealogy by Martyn, 1925. Pages 65-66) This source has his birth data as "born in England about 1626".
