The first mention of William Ward in America appears in 1639 in the land division records for Sudbury MA.

In 1656 he was with a group of 14 men that petitioned to create the new village of Marlborough MA.

William Ward, in common with others, endured great hardships and sustained great losses by Indian hostilities; more especially in the time of King Phillip's War (1675-76) when his buildings were fired, his cattle destroyed, and one of his sons slain by the enemy.

There is also much dispute over the identity of his wife that came across the ocean with and bore his children. Per her gravestone in Marlborough.
