This is a History of the Descendants of William Ward of Sudbury, MA, 1638-1925 by Charles Martyn, 1925, published by Artemas Ward.
The data from the original book which contained 10,746 persons has been expanded to now include about 23,000 descendants including spouses
and their parents. Follow THIS LINK to our database at RootsWeb. There are more details in the notes under William Ward, born 1603.
Here is the first sixty or so pages from THE WILLIAM WARD GENEALOGY
It details the emigration from England and life in New England in the 17th century.
A brief biography of Artemas Ward, 1848 - 1925, the publisher.
Perhaps the most famous descendant of William Ward was General Artemas Ward,
often referred to as the first Commander-in-Chief of the American Revolution.
Included in the above database are many SHATTUCKs. I descend from a long line, starting with my fourth great grandmother, Electa
SHATTUCK. It begins six generations back with William SHATTUCK, who came to New England in the early 1600's.CLICK HERE
for an interesting excerpt from a book by Lemuel SHATTUCK, written in 1855, about the origins of the name and its various spellings.
This excellent work by Joanna, with a tiny bit of computer input by myself, is a well researched effort to find the SHATTUCK ancestors of her
mother-in-law, Lottie Bernice SHATTUCK. A small part of this work is duplicated in my database above since I descend from the same family.
In this database of over 12,500 persons there are over 3000 SHATTUCKs, 339 WRIGHTs, 191 BLOODs, 195 PARKERs, 167 LAWRENCEs,
117 GILSONs, 124 BROWNs and hundreds of other surnames. They are followed back to the early 1600's, mainly in New England.

You might want to check out the SHATTUCK MAILING LIST. There, you can browse or search the message archives, and sign up to be a subscriber and post your queries, if you wish.
There is also a great resource at RootsWeb to search for data on a Surname. You can try the surname SHATTUCK, HERE
However, there are many other SHATTUCKs who remain unconnected or homeless. What to do with these people so they are not forgotten?
Put them on line, of course! With notes and sources so future researchers will not have to re-research.
If you find any SHATTUCKs during your research who are not in either database, I encourage you to include them.
Please contact me if you can link to the original immigrant, William SHATTUCK, born about 1622; if you can link any of our "forgotten" SHATTUCKs in your tree; also, if you have evidence that your SHATTUCKs are not related to our original William SHATTUCK. It appears that the vast majority of SHATTUCKs in North America are related.

It isn't near as nice, nor as easy to set up and edit, as GeoCities but it does provide a good backup when I screw things up here.
