Hi Dot, I found my note. It was on the will abstract for an Abraham Ward, of Newark, whose will is dated 10/1/1776 and proved 10/17/1777. His wife was Lydia and he had a sister Mary who m. John Spinning. According to the Spinning genealogy, Mary was b. Marlborough, England in 1748 and d. 3/24/1824 buried 1st Pres. Elizabeth, NJ. Is this your guy?
