Locked profile with no sources. Parents appear correct but wrong Ward husband? per https://media.geni.com/p14/e5/0c/e6/e7/534448611be70d46/46155_b2897...
Cynthia, this is a tremendously different generation from your source document. Am I right that it’s from the Generals and their Kin by James Branch Cabell?
I would pay no attention to these possibly bogus early English profiles, they are likely locked down for that reason.
I’ll find you the real Mary Goode & Seth Ward.
(I have the book name wrong I think but I’m pretty sure of the author)

Oh yikes! Several centuries apart
Yes, apparently another example of similarly named folks
I have worked on Wards many times since my husband and I both have direct Ward lines.
I have visited the FtDNA Y Project but not in quite a while and I have not worked on my Webber/Ward line in a while but ran into them again today while looking at something here. You know how that rabbit hole goes
Thank you
Wikitree https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Ward-2187 has notes for possible parents of Seth Ward who married Katherine Smith
I will have to check to see if there have been any updates
