Judge Richard Ward - Do we have sources/proof for wife being Elizabeth Blackman?:

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Ward-2190#Wills still has wife as Elizabeth Blackman, daughter of https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Blackman-191 Captain Jeremiah Blackman
but has added parents for Capt. Seth Ward

Someone merged the judge at FS and gave him a new wife Rebecca Gardner and moved children to her.

I am left scratching my head until I can see some evidence for why but Elizabeth does not appear concrete--- Jeremiah is definitely mentioned. My main focus has been in keeping the male line correct but this is news to me

Need a curator, please
