Elizabeth was born in England about 1613. Her origins in England are unknown. The only mentioning of her last name is by the Newton Genealogy (1951) (note page 176) seems to be the first reference to identify her last name. But, no evidence has ever been found to support the LNAB. William Ward, Elizabeth, and his five children from his first marriage, arrived in the Massachusetts Bay Colonies in the spring of 1638. William Ward married Elizabeth shortly after they arrived in Sudbury. Elizabeth and William Ward moved to Marlborough, Middlesex County, Massachusetts in 1660. In 1666 he became a representative and Deacon at the first organization of the church. On 6 April 1686 at Sudbury, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, Elizabeth was mentioned in the will of William Ward. Elizabeth died December 9, 1700 at Marlborough, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, at age 87 years.
