SAMUEL WARD AND JOHN WARD BRIEF HISTORY

The earliest known ancestor in the Ward family at the present time is
that of Samuel Ward.  He was born about the year 1753.  His
wife was Elizabeth Iffe.  She was born about the year 1765. 
Their residence was Theburton, Suffolk. England.

We know little of his life, except that he was interested in political life.  He served as a Foreign Commissioner.

This couple had three children that are known, namely, Samuel, John, and Elizabeth.

They did not have the opportunity of living when the restored Gospel
was on the earth, consequently their baptism into the church was done
by proxy on the 13th day of May, 1924, in the Logan Temple.  Owen
D. Ward and Eunice A. Ward Harris received their Endowments for them on
the 28th of May, 1924.  They were sealed for "Time Eternity" the
same day, and the children were sealed to them.

      JOHN WARD, son of Samuel and Elizabeth
Iffe Ward, was born 25 January, 1786 at Theberton, Suffolkshire.
England.

He married Susannah Welton about the year 1810 at Melton,
Suf-England.  They then moved to Leiston, Suffolk, England. 
Susannah Welton was the daughter of John and Mary Welton.

       John Ward took up farming early in
life, and continued with this occupation the rest of his life.

Six of their children were born at Leiston, England the family then moved to Fox Hall, where remaining six children were born.
