Biography
Levi Ward Hancock's journal lists him as 'General Jacob Ward'
Birth
Jacob Ward, the son of Hannah and Jacob Ward, was born 22 Sept 1727 in Ashford, Connecticut.[1]
Jacob Ward enlisted in the French and Indian War Campaign under the Twelfth Company First Regiment of Captain Chapman in 1758. By the year 1762, Jacob was an Ensign in the Ninth Company serving with Captain Robert Durkee of Windham, Connecticut. This company fought in Havana, Cuba in late 1762. Jacob's brothers Peter, who served as a drummer, and Giles would go to the battle and pay the ultimate sacrifice for their service. Family records state that he was a General in the Revolutionary War; however no proof of this has been found. Also during the Revolution, Jacob would have been older and in his 50's. In those days, he was considered an old man.
