Harriet P. Grosvenor died in 1876. She married Thomas Walter Ward Jr. April 6, 1825 in Pomfret, CT.
One child born in Pomfret and six children born in Shrewsbury.
By this time a lieutenant colonel, Artemas had his first taste of combat in the failed British assault on French-held Fort Ticonderoga. Even though the campaign did not succeed, Ward gained valuable experience as a provincial officer serving under seasoned commanders.
Thomas Ward paid Moses Cloughlin to build a New England style barn, but it was probably not on the Ward farm; instead, it may have been on the Henshaw farm, an adjacent tenant farm he owned.
