WARD: Jonathan Ward and Roxanna (or Rosanna?) Ward

Posted: 25 Apr 2010 4:50PM GMT
Classification: Query
Surnames: Ward
All I have is this information from the RAIMS site:

from: Deed Index, 1789-1845, Letter "W"

(grantee)Ward, Jonathan....(grantor)Ward, Roxanna 1832 Liber 52 page 396

I would appreciate ANY information on Jonathan and Roxanna. I am looking especially to see if they have any relationship to Stephen Ward (born in CT), pioneer settler in the Town of Canandaigua and listed in the 1800 census for Ontario County with wife (unnamed) and 6 children.

Stephen died in 1824 so would have been dead at the time of this transfer of land. During his lifetime his wife is listed on various legal documents as Phebe/Phoebe and Rosanna.

Could Jonathan have been one of the four sons of Stephen??? Only the names of two are known for sure: Stephen Jr. and Moses (the Rev. Moses Ward of Cheshire in the Town of Canandaigua).

Was the grantor, Roxanna, the widow of Stephen???

Any help with this mystery would be most appreciated.
