SUPPLEMENTUM III.
THOMAS WARD.
It is probable that diligent search among the Cecil and Walsingham papers
will shed more light on Thomas Ward (or Warde) than I have been able
hitherto to gain.
The probabilities are, as has been already indicated, that Thomas Ward was
a younger son of Marmaduke Ward, of Newby, and Susannay, his wife. That
Marmaduke Ward’s elder son was Marmaduke Ward (who married Ursula Wright,
and afterwards, in all likelihood, Elizabeth Sympson), the father of that
extraordinary woman, Mary Ward.
I opine that Thomas Ward attached himself to the Court party of Queen
Elizabeth, through the Council of the North, established by Henry VIII.
after the defeat of the first Pilgrimage of Grace (1536).
Thomas Ward was just the sort of man (_me judice_) that Queen Elizabeth
would affect. Moreover, I find that a Captain John Ward was on the side of
the Crown on the occasion of the second Pilgrimage of Grace, commonly
called the Rising of the North, or the Earls’ Rebellion (1569).
