"Samuel I., s. of Andrew Ward I. was made a freeman of F. 1669. He m. first Alice d. of Richard Ogden I., & Savage says for a second wife Hannah wid. of Jonathan Judson of Stratford. He died before 1693, leaving w. Hannah, & children Edmund, Samuel, Hannah, Sarah & perhaps others. The children of Hannah, his wid. by her first husband, were in the inventory of Jonathan Nichols estate of 28. Oct 1689, Josiah aged 7; Mary 4; & Jonathan 2. From a will found on file in the town-house at F. of the widow of John Judson of Woodbury, eldest s. of Joseph of Stratford, she mentions children Josiah, Mary & Jonathan Nichols & d. Hannah Ward. The third husband of wid. Hannah, may have been John Judson of Woodbury, but in this I may be mistaken."
