That has been fully documented. Lucy Ward's parents were Francis Ward and Sussanna Brown. Her grandparents were Robert Ward and Alice Pixton. Her great grandparents were Roger Ward and Katherine (Fifty Great Migration Colonists by John Brooks Threlfall). The question always has been, "Is the Ann Wadd who was listed on the passenger list in 1637, and who was traveling with Robert Page and Lucy Ward, the sister of Lucy or someone else. On p. 218 of "Fifty Great Migration Colonists," it states: "Concerning Ann Wadd, aged 15, who accompanied the Pages to New England, there is some evidence that the name Wadd, as published, was correctly Ward, and that Ann was his wife's sister and later the wife of Edward Colcord of Hampton. On 24, June 1673, Robert Page of Hampton conveyed land by a deed in which he called Edward Colcord of Hampton his brother and Colcord's wife Ann his sister. There was no Ann Page for Colcord to have married. Also, Ann Colcord bore ten children between 1641 and 1667, so she must have been born between 1621 and 1625. Ann Wadd (or Ward) was born about 1622. So, Ann and Lucy were probably sisters." Threlfall's book has been touted as being thoroughly researched and highly reliable. I hope this helps with your question. Maryellen Mcanfora@aol.com
