Dudley and Ward succeeded to the title at his birth. He appears to have lived principally at his maternal estate of Ashtead in Surrey. He died, following a fall from his horse, while still unmarried, leaving the title to devolve on his cousin John Ward†, then member of Parliament for Newcastle-under-Lyme.2 Monthly Chronicle, September 1731; London Evening Post, 7-9 Sept. 1731.
