RICHARD14 WARD of Homersfield, Essex, England, m. ANNE GUNVILLE, d. after 1552[37].

15. RICHARD¹⁴ WARD (Thomas¹³, Robert de VARDE¹², Robert¹¹, Robert¹⁰, John⁹, John⁸, Simon⁷, Simon⁶, Simon⁵, William⁴, Simon³, William², Osbert¹) of Homersfield, son of (14) Thomas¹³ and (SG-4) _____ (HARE) WARD, was born between 1502 and 1568, and died between 1598 and 1678. He married in England, ANNE GUNVILLE, who died after 1552^[37]. ^{[1, 37, 30, 35, 27]}
George K. Ward writes, in 1910:
"We do not know that Richard Ward was the son of Thomas Ward, of Homersfield, in the northeast corner of Suffolk... Although we do not know for certain the ancestry of Thomas Ward, his father, it is quite likely that it may be connected with the Ward family which is contained in the published pedigree... Many persons have attempted to prove this, but the actual proof has not yet been found."

However, a decade later in 1921, Wm. H. Powers writes:
"Sir Richard Ward of Homersfield ... was the son of Thomas, his mother a daughter of Dr. John Hare."
and regarding his son Andrew (d.1615):
"It is assumed that the immigrant Andrew was the son of the Andrew who died in London, 1615.
Confirmatory of this is quoted from the manuscript of a journey through Suffolk in 1657 by Mr. Leverland: "Descendants of Andrew Ward, son of Richard of Homersfield, were in New England."" ^{[19, 30]}
"The statements in the preface to the Andrew Ward Genealogy with regard to Andrew's being of the family of Richard Ward of Gorleston or Homersfield have been investigated (by Col. Charles E. Banks for Mrs. Finley J. Shepard). No such person as Richard Ward was found; no Gunville family existed in that vicinity as lords of the manor; and every reference given has proved to be fictitious. It is likely that these statements were the invention of a fraudulent genealogist, innocently accepted by members of the Ward family, through whom they found their way into the book." ^[7]
However, "The Perlustration of Great Yarmouth, With Gorleston and Southtown" does contain quotes about both Richard Ward and the Gunvilles (it is unclear whether this information is what Jacobus was aware of or not): "in 1547 Richard Gunvile was lord, and with his descendants the manor continued until the reign of Queen Elizabeth, when Henry Gunvile dying s.p. it passed to his sister, Anne, who married Richard Ward, Esq."

In the accompanying footnote, Palmer writes of Richard Ward: "For an account of his family see vol i., p. 257. In 1595 Richard Ward was 'chiever,' and 'did paie the whole rent without eny helpers, because he could not fynd eny from lands out of his owne possession." and of Richard Gunville: "The Gunviles or Gonviles were an ancient family both in Norfolk and Suffolk... They bore arg., on a chev. sa., betw. two couple closes, outwardly engrailed, three escallops or. Richard Gunvyle, by his will made in 1552, devised, besides the Manor of Bacons, divers lands and tenemens in Gorleston, Bradwell, Southtown, Hopton, Corton, Belton, Burgh, Herringflee and Lound. See Add. M.S. 19098, p. 400." ^[37]
The passage by the same author in Volume I of the Perlustration describes later generations of this Ward family, and includes the following footnote, along with an image of the Ward family crest: "The Wards of Gorleston and Homersfield in Suffolk bore az., a cross between four eagles displayed arg., and for a crest on a mount vert., a hind couchant arg. The above-named James Ward sealed with these arms, which had been confirmed to his ancestors by Robert Cook, Clarenceux, in 1593, a copy of which grant is in the possession of Mr. A.W. Morant. Neale Ward, his brother, resided at Bury St. Edmunds." ^[38]
