    … [William Ward] [b. 2 Aug. 1665] has been confused with William3 (John2, Andrew1, … the former was the subject of an article by Miss Harriet Scofield, "Sergeant William Ward of Middletown, Conn." (The American Genealogist 10:212-215). Her conclusion that Sergeant William was the son of William and Phebe Ward was based on astute analysis of the occupations of the two Williams. Sergeant William, who inherited one-half of his father's weaving tools and one-half of the fulling mill, was described as weaver in a deed of 21 May 1728, while his younger contemporary was called a cooper. A deed of 26 Feb. 1733/34 bears out her conclusion, when Sergeant William Ward and James Ward Senior, sold to Stephen Miller "a certain stream which is called Fulling Brook on Stony River in Middletown on the west side of the Connecticut River beginning at the mouth of Two Sticks Brook with privilege of damning the stream for a mill or mills and banks on each side" (Middletown Deeds 7:128, witnessed by Giles Hall and Abijah Moore).

    Thus, William Ward b. 1665 is the one who married Abigail Collins; William Ward b. 1674 is the one who married widow Frances (Allen) Hall.
