He and one of his brothers (whose name is not recorded) was involved in a setting up a glass house in Scotland in 1617. A Venetian glassmaker, John Maria de Aqua, was invited to work in Scotland by Agmondesham Pickayes, he left the employ of Sir Robert Mansell, and his expenses were paid by William Ward. In January 1620 Ward was required to defend himself from the charge of seducing dell' Aqua from Mansell's employment. After the death of George Heriot he purchased some of his stock of jewels, so contributing to the foundation of Heriot's Hospital in Edinburgh. The sale was arranged by John Hay (died 1654). Ward lived in Southwark and was a member of the vestry, bequeathing in his will £6 for a vestry dinner. (en) |
