Edward Ward, 9th Baron Dudley
Edward Ward, 9th Baron Dudley and 4th Baron Ward (16 June 1704 – 6 September 1731) was the only son of Edward Ward, 8th Baron Dudley and 3rd Baron Ward and his wife Diana daughter and heiress of Thomas Howard of Ashtead, Surrey. He was born posthumously,〔''Burke's Peerage'', s.v. Dudley, Earl of〕 and so succeeded to his father's baronies at birth.
In 1712, during his minority, one of the first Newcomen steam engines was erected within his Coneygree Park, in Tipton west of Dudley Castle, so as to drain coal mines there. This was illustrated in a contemporary engraving by Thomas Barney, also showing the castle, so that the engine sometimes referred to as the Dudley Castle engine. Another engines was subsequently erected for his Park colliery.〔L T C Rolt and J S Allen, ''The steam engine of Thomas Newcomen'' (3rd edn. Landmark, Ashbourne 1997), 45–8 150.〕
Edward Ward died a bachelor in 1731. His titles were inherited by William Ward, 10th Baron Dudley, 5th Baron Ward (died 1740), on whose death the estates and titles were divided. The entailed estate and the title Baron Ward passed to his heir male, a cousin William Ward (later 1st Viscount Dudley and Ward), whereas the title Baron Dudley and certain estates more recently purchased (and thus not entailed) passed to Ferdinando Dudley Lea, 11th Baron Dudley, the son of a sister of the 10th Baron.〔''Burke's Peerage'', s.v. Dudley, Earl of and Dudley, Baron.〕 This led to a dispute over the ownership of a steam engine standing on the entailed property, ultimately resolved in favour of Lord Dudley, who therefore removed the engine to his own property at Russell's Hall, Dudley.
