General Notes
- George K. Ward writes, in 1910:
  "We do not know that Richard Ward was the son of Thomas Ward, of Homersfield, in the northeast corner of Suffolk... Although we do not know for certain the ancestry of Thomas Ward, his father, it is quite likely that it may be connected with the Ward family which is contained in the published pedigree... Many persons have attempted to prove this, but the actual proof has not yet been found."
  However, a decade later in 1921, Wm. H. Powers writes:
  "Sir Richard Ward of Homersfield ... was the son of Thomas, his mother a daughter of Dr. John Hare."
  and regarding his son Andrew (d.1615):
  "It is assumed that the immigrant Andrew was the son of the Andrew who died in London, 1615.
  Confirmatory of this is quoted from the manuscript of a journey through Suffolk in 1657 by Mr. Leverland: "Descendants of Andrew Ward, son of Richard of Homersfield, were in New England.""
