Andrew Henshaw Ward wrote History of the town of Shrewsbury.

Artemas Ward Family monument was erected in Mountain View Cemetery, Shrewsbury Center.

The Henshaw farm, which was adjacent to the Ward farm, had been leased to tenants who paid the Wards with a share of the produce. In 1843 this arrangement ended and the main farm took over all agricultural production.
