What is the source for this information? I cannot find this patent on the Virginia Archive Land Patent website. There are patents for 1683, 1711 and then jumps to 1781 all for a William Ward. http://bit.ly/1dI7Vp2
Virginia, Land, Marriage, and Probate Records, 1639-1850 [1] This is probably the one you have, but at least there is an easy link to it. (Joan Wagner Williams, 26 Dec 2016)
William Sr was one of my 4th great grandfathers [Flesher-280][1]
