Son of Rachel Ann Cordon and William Ward.
His father was from Suffolk, England and immigrated to America in 1851 after joining the LDS Church. In the spring of 1853, he settled at what was then Willow Creek, north of Ogden, Utah.
His parents and siblings were some of the first residents of what would later be known as Willard, Box Elder County. On July 24th, 1861 he married the daughter of Bishop Alfred Cordon, Rachel Ann. She had been born in Nauvoo, Hancock, Illinois prior to their migration to Utah in 1851.
William Edwin was their second son, but lived less than one month, dying of what was called "erysipelas".
He had a headstone, but in about 1946 was broken by vandals and then left in the possession of Isabella Dalton Buland for safe keeping. It has not surfaced to date.
