Jerusha Ward
"In this village, in the residence of her son-in-law, W.E. Hill, September 11, 1880, Mrs. Jerusha Ward, aged 76 years".

From Ernestine Ward Schwartz's history is written:
"Jerusha & Elanson [Ward] lived in the Town of Hamburg, Erie County, NY from some time prior to 1830 until 1846 when they migrated to Rock Co (near Brodhead), Wisconsin. The census records of 1830 & 1840 show them in Hamburg and the records of the Holland Land Company show a land contract there with Elanson Ward in 1835."
Submitted by Sherrie Rice Smith (Corlissbss@aol.com), who is the gggg-grand-daughter of Jerusha Ward and adds:
"Jerusha lived in later years in Durand, WI, near three of her children - J. Erwin, Angelina Lobdell and Rachel Hill. Jerusha was probably born in Northampton or Northville, both of Fulton Co, New York. Her parents settled there in about 1788."
