Ward
Joseph Ward patented 731 acres on the north fork of Little Roanoke in
Brunswick county in 1739. The next year John Ward patented 40O acres on the
south side of Rose's creek; in 1742 Richard Ward patented 17OO acres on Staunton
river; in 175O John Ward patented 425 acres on Hunter's branch on the north side
of Hunter's creek and a year later patented 55O acres at the head of Jenita
creek. Two or more families bearing the Ward name were recorded in Campbell, and
the names John and Richard are found among Major John Ward's descendants, but
nothing has been found concerning these early patentees. In 1753 the two
brothers, John and Jeremiah Ward, of Albemarle, patented 32OO acres of land on
the north side of Dan river in Pittsylvania county, which were located (as
designated) "in the mountains." John then settled at Reed creek; and some years
later Jerry moved to Cabell county on the Guyandotte river. John Ward married
the beautiful Anne, daughter of Henry and Anne Harrelson-Chiles of Pittsylvania.
He built a second home, The Mansion, east of the mouth of Otter river near its
entrance into the Staunton and only a few miles from where Alta Vista now
stands; here he lived, and, dying (over 10O years old), in 1816, was buried in
the family grave-yard nearby. Major Ward married, secondly, 1766, Mrs. Sarah
Clark - Lynch, daughter of Christ. Clark and widow of Charles Lynch, Sr., for
which she was disowned by the Quakers, Ward not being of the sect. He received
his title in 1778 as Major of Bedford county militia, an office he resigned in
1781 on account of his great age.
In 1778 Major Ward established a ferry across the Staunton, having previously
kept there a boat free to passengers, and in 1810 he obtained permission to
erect a toll bridge near his ferry. As early as 1769 he built mills at Sinkler's
and Chile's creeks; raised large yield of hemp upon his land. Included in his
estate was a tract called Indian Camps, which received the name from its use by
Indians. He surveyed the road leading to Lynchburg which still bears his name
and which, though recently improved by shortening of curves, filling of
depressions and sand-clay resurfacing, is not materially changed from its early
lines; in providing cross-country passage for his neighbors, Ward builded better
than he reckoned, for his road now forms part of a highway which runs through
the state, and connects with routes leading north and south.
