WARD
William, m wid Annar BOW, Nov __, 1755; died Nov 24, 1759
This implies that Anna was a widow from 1725 until 1755, and died within a month of her second marriage in 1755. Her second husband then died about 4 years later.
It is difficult to determine which William Ward it was. There were many in Middletown. Anna's daughter Martha married a William Ward, Jr., but the dates don't seem to indicate that the father or son could be the one, as they both died after 1760.
