From the William Ward Genealogy,287 about Nahum Ward:
    “His career was one of note and diversity. He was a sailor, a Boston merchant, a town founder and real estate operator, a militia officer, a lawyer and judge.
    “The call of the sea came first, and while still in his twenties he was master of a vessel in the West-Indian service. ‘A spiritual change came over him and induced him,’ he said, ‘to relinquish that life and go into trade in Boston.’ There we find hum admitted by the selectmen as a ‘new inhabitant,’ May 6, 1714. Two years later he was again in Marlborough at the time that plans were being perfected for the division of a westward tract of 3200 acres, known as the ‘Haynes Farm,’ and he purchased the shares of two of its twenty-three owners. The division of the property was followed by a petition to the General Court for land contiguous to and surrounding both the Haynes and other privately owned tracts for the formation of a new township. This was granted and ‘Shrewsbury’ was established, with forty-four original proprietors—Nahum Ward being one of them.
    “Ten years later the township was incorporated, and he was elected moderator (or ‘mayor’), chairman of its first board of selectmen, and assessor. The offce of moderator he held for twenty-two years; that of selectman twenty-three years. He was the town’s first representative in thc General Court and served eight years in the legislature. In addition were two years as town clerk, and four as town treasurer.
    “ln 1731 he was admitted to the bar and became a practising lawyer, being in the same year commissioned as justice of the peace. In 1745 he was appointed judge of the Court of Common Pleas. His military titles show the same advance—from ensign in the town’s ‘foot company’ in 1722 to the command of his regiment in or before 1736.
    “He dealt largely in the town lands, both buying and selling, and had interests also in Sturbridge, Tyringham, and other townships.
    “About 1725 he moved into the large house he had built on a site nearly opposite that on which he erected the ‘Artemas Ward House’ a few years later, and there he resided until his death. Later it became well known as the Baldwin Tavern. Its site is now part of Dean Park.
    “The original double headstone of Nahum and Martha Ward is embedded in the east face of the west pier of the General Ward memorial Entrance to the Shrewsbury Cemetery.”
