During the intermittent French and Indian wars from 1689 to 1713, it was a garrison-house as during King Philip's War.
    “In his will dated May 22, 1727, Samuel Ward says he is ‘well stricken in years and crazy in body, but of perfect mind, and memory.’ His will was contested in Probate Court, December 19, 1729, by all his children and heirs texcept his son Samuel, the chief beneficiary in virtue of a concurrent agreement to care for him and his wife durirlg their lives) on the ground that he was crazy in milld as well as in body. At length the heirs agreed among themselves touching his will, and desired the judge to approve it.”
