My Ward line comes from John (1626) > William (1664) while it appears yours comes from John (1626) > Richard (1666). Geographically it went from MA > VT > NY. I haven’t found any other Wards on wikitree that match Willam-112’s haplo group but then I’m not really up on all the derivatives from R1b. He certainly must have many direct male descendants. You will note I visited his grave in Marlborough, MA and had plans to visit John’s in Newton but my trip had to be cancelled due to covid. Note: actually W. Ward’s son Mark took the DNA test which would be the same as his father. Where did your line migrate from MA? Susan Ward Merk (Ward-21654)
I am a direct male descendent of ward-112 and I am R-M467 according to 23andMe.com. So it's a match! But R1b is 60% of european(men) I guess. M467 is one specific part of the huge group of r1b. The interesting thing to me is that M467 is pretty specific and sort of uncommon. More info on google and here http://meekdna.com/U198dna/S29_5.html
