Ware Family History Lineage  

DESCENDANTS OF PETER WARE AND MARY HICKES  

Originally Compiled 1 May 2004  - Information changed after that date will be in red

Changes or corrections should be submitted by email to bookorders@cox.net

The following is a comprehensive lineage of Peter Ware and Mary Hickes prepared by Norm McHan based on independent research and data received from numerous other researchers.  Please consider this a “work in progress” which may be subject to change.

Most of the lineage information regarding the King and Queen, King William and Middlesex County, Virginia Ware families are purely speculative in nature at the present time due to a lack of available documents.

1-Peter Ware Sr. (c1608 c1613 probably Cork Co., Ireland Tenterden Co., Kent, England-Bet 16 Sep 1657 and 10 Sep 1659 Hampton Parish, York Co. VA). In 1647 Peter was an attorney for Robert Lewis in York Co., Virginia.  In 1675, Peter Ware, Jr. sells land in Queen’s Creek, Hampton Parish, York Co., VA to Nathaniel Bacon in which he identified the land as having belonged to his father, Peter Ware.  Mary Hickes was identified in a 1659 Orphan’s Court document as the widow of Peter Ware, from this document it appears Mary Hickes maintained her maiden name, which was an old Welsh custom, and was likely of Welsh descent.  In the same document immediately above the paragraph regarding Mary Hickes, was a paragraph in which a remarried widow was referred to as Mrs. Elizabeth Woods.  It seems if Mary Hickes had remarried they would have shown her as Mrs. Mary Hickes, wife of Mr. Hickes, and widow of Peter Ware.  It's possible that Mary was Peter's second wife and not the mother of his children.

Children of Peter Ware and Mary Hickes:

-2-Peter Ware, Jr. (c1632 probably Cork Co., Ireland-Bet 1675 and 23 May 1693 Hampton Parish, York Co., VA), m. Jane Valentine, son/heir, he was appointed Asst. Constable in 1660, and same year he and Nicholas I, witnessed a deposition. In 1662 he was appointed surveyor, in 1663 he was listed as a headright with John Garrett, in 1665 he was appointed constable, in 1675 he sold land to Hon. Nathaniel Bacon belonging to his father, that same year he purchased land in New Kent Co. next to Col. William Claiborne, Edward Cardingbrook and John Ware. This land was also adj. Jeremiah Rawlings, John Garrett and Nicholas Ware according to a 1683 patent.

--3-Valentine Ware, Sr. (c1654 Hampton Parish, York Co., VA-c1704 Stratton Major Parish, King and Queen Co., VA) m. (Mary Dudley ?) d/o Wm/ Eliz. Cary. A Valentine Ware was listed on the 1704 Quit Rent Rolls for King and Queen Co. with 478a; it is unknown if this Valentine Ware was Valentine Ware Sr. or Valentine Ware Jr.

-----4-Valentine Ware, Jr. (1680 New Kent Co., VA or Before c1731 Stratton Major Parish, King and Queen Co., VA) m. Sarah Leigh d/o William Lea and Mary Green, Vestryman, SM 1729-31. A Valentine Ware appeared on the 1704 Quit Rent Rolls with 478a; it is unknown if this was Valentine Ware Sr. or Valentine Ware Jr. Valentine Ware was a Vestryman from 1729 to 1731, and it is inferred in the Vestry Books that he died in 1731.

THE EXISTENCE OF THE FOLLOWING VALENTINE WARE III IS UNPROVEN AND IS BASED ON A VALENTINE BECOMING A PROCESSIONER IN 1731, AND THE EXISTENCE OF A 1739 VESTRYMAN NAMED VALENTINE. PLEASE NOTE THAT VALENTINE COULD BE THE NEPHEW OF VALENTINE WARE, JR. INSTEAD OF HIS SON.

---------5-Valentine Ware III (c1700->1739 (likely between c1753 and c1756) m. Unknown. The existence of this Valentine Ware is pure speculation and is based solely on the fact that a Valentine Ware was appointed processioner between the Little Heartquake Creek and the Great Heartquake Creek from 1731 to 1735. Other Processioners in the area 1731-1735 included Humphrey Garrett and John Smith. Valentine Ware Jr. would have been 50+ years old in 1731; this may have been too old to become a new processioner. A Valentine Ware was also a Vestryman in 1739 King and Queen Co. VA.

THE FOLLOWING IS UNPROVEN; AND MAY DESCEND FROM NICHOLAS WARE I, INSTEAD OF PETER WARE, JR.

-----------6-John Ware of Dragon.  John’s wife shared a reserved church pew (3 South Side) in 1767 with Frances Ware (widow). Shared reserved church pew (4 South Side) in 1767 with Edward Ware of Dragon.

-----------6-Edward Ware. Unmarried/or a Widower in 1767. Shared reserved church pew (4 South Side) in 1767 with John Ware of Dragon.

-----------6-Unidentified Ware (Deceased by 1767) m. Frances. Frances Ware (widow) shared a reserved church pew with the wife of John Ware of Dragon (3 Southside).

--------5-Peter Ware (Bet 1700 and 1706-1741 Henrico Co. VA) m. Judith Scott (c1708-c1785 Buckingham Co. VA) c1727 - willed Goochland land to his brother Henry. Judith m. 2nd Samuel Jordan widower of Ruth Meredith on 28 Feb 1745 in Buckingham Co. VA; Samuel first married to Ruth Meredith who died c1744.  Samuel and Ruth Meredith Jordan had Ruth Jordan who married John Hunter, Mary Jordan who married Geddes Waiston, and Margaret Jordan who married William Cabell. Samuel & his 2d wife Judith Scott Ware Jordan had Pauline Jordan (c1746-31 Jul 1781) who married Col. John Cabell on 20 May 1762, Wilhemina Jordan (c1748) who married Col. John Wyatt, and Caroline Matilda Jordan (c1750) who married Col. Hugh Rose. Wilhemina’s daughter Susanna Wyatt m. Dr. George Cabell. Caroline Matilda’s daughter Judith Scott Rose m. Landon Cabell; her daughter Caroline Matilda m. Dr. Phillip Turpin; and her son (Rose ?) m. a sister of President James Madison.

---------5-John Ware (c1707). Executor for Peter Ware III’s 1741 will.

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ON JOHN WARE AND HIS LINEAGE IS UNPROVEN AND IS SPECULATION ONLY

-----4-John Ware (c1684->1736/7) m. (Catherine Boyd?). John was the Vestryman of Stratton Major Parish, King and Queen Co. from 1729-1731 and again from 1734-1736/7.

----------5-Edward Ware. Edward Ware was paid 50 pounds by the Vestry in October 1736 for mending Vestry benches; his older brother John was likely paid 120 pounds and a Cask for the same job. Edward was a Vestryman in 1739

----------5-John Ware (Bet 1706 and 1708->1751) m. Unknown. Processioner from 1731-1737 in the area between the Tastine Swamp and Little Heartquake Creek. Shown as a Vestryman in 1739. In Oct 1736, this John Ware was paid 120 pounds and a Cask for most likely, along with Edward Ware who was paid 50 pounds, mending Vestry benches. The tax man visited James Ware on 17 March, the Bishop Robert Ware on 20 March, Christopher Ware’s Estate and John Ware on 22 March, and Samuel Ware on 22 March.

------------6-Christopher Ware c1730-c1786) m. Elizabeth “Betty” (Maiden Name Unknown) (died >1790). Left 500a estate in 1787---John Ware paid taxes. John Ware also paid personal taxes in 1790 for Betty Ware who had 2 tithes in her household. Christopher was a processioner 1755 to 1783-area between Tastine Swamp and Great Heartquake Creek. The John Ware that paid taxes on Christopher’s estate may have been Christopher’s brother.

--------------7-John Ware (<1766 K&Q Co. VA-<1824 at Gloucester Co. VA) m. Susan “Susanna” Clarke. In 1787, John lived next to Samuel Ware and Christopher Ware’s estate; he paid the 1787 taxes on Christopher's estate and paid 1790 personal taxes for Betty Ware with two tithes in her household. In 1794 and 1795, John is listed on the tax lists with 296a of land. In the 1790 land tax listing for K&Q, a Dawson Cooke is listed with 296a of land and also taking care of Christopher Ware’s 500a estate. Dawson Cooke purchased the 296a of land from Steven Fields about 1787. Dawson is not listed on the 1787 tax list and has 282a of land on the 1798 tax list. John Ware shows 346a of land on the 1800 Gloucester Co. VA land tax list but is not listed on the personal property tax list. Dawson Cooke (died 1829) was the son of Mordecai Cooke of Gloucester Co. and was Deputy Sheriff of K&Q from 1783-1787 (not listed on the 1787 tax list though). Dawson’s daughter Ann married John Didlake and his daughter Molly married the Reverend John Spencer, pastor of the Porpone Baptist Church. The connection between John Ware and Dawson Cooke is unknown; it is quite possible they were brothers-in-law, or stepbrothers.

-------------------8-Frances “Fanny” Ware m. Matthew Kemp.

-------------------8-Robert Ware. Robert was still living in Gloucester Co. VA in 1840.

-------------------8-Mary “Polly” Ware (died before 1824). m. Lewis C. Booker. Following the death of Polly, Lewis married her sister Betsy.

-------------------8-Elizabeth “Betsy” Ware m. Lewis C. Booker c1824. Lewis married Betsy following the death of her sister Polly.

THE FOLLOWING SAMUEL WARE APPEARS TO BE EITHER CHRISTOPHER WARE’S SON OR HIS NEPHEW.

--------------7-Samuel Ware  (Bet 1756 and 1760 K&Q Co. VA-4 Oct 1828/22 Feb 1830 Middlesex Co. VA) may have married Elizabeth Daniel d/o Reuben Daniel (born c1721)) c1781 2) Nancy Shipley (c1770-<3 Oct 1828) on 14 Jun 1799 at Middlesex Co. VA. According to the 1787 tax list, Samuel lived in K&Q Co., VA. From the 1790s until his death, Samuel lived on the Briery Swamp (Middlesex Co. VA) southwest of Jamaica,  VA.

Notes: Samuel Ware makes his first appearance on the 1787 tax list for K&Q County, VA; this list shows his personal property was 1 black under 18, 3 horses, and 2 Cows. In 1787, he lived next to John Ware and Christopher Ware's estate. In 1787, John Ware paid the taxes on Christopher Ware’s estate. In 1792, Samuel purchased 86-1/2 acres of land from William and Jane Owen for 86 lbs & 19 Shillings.  The property was located north of Ware Bridge, and the Dragon Run, on the Briery Swamp at Route 606 (northwest corner of Route 606 and the Briery Swamp), just south of State Road 17 in the Jamaica area. This property was bordered by the following families: Ralph Watts (west), Robert Daniel (north), Charles Lee  (northeast), William Davis (east on northside of Route 606), Chesly Daniel  (southeast corner of Route 606 and Briery Swamp), and Sally Watts (south on the southside of Route 606) (Middlesex Co. Deed Book 11, pg. 75-77). Samuel has 0 tithes on the 1787 K&Q tax list, 0 tithes on the 1790 Middlesex tax list, and 2 tithes on the 1801 K&Q tax list. A tithe is defined as a white male over 16. It is questionable whether Samuel had a son named Samuel Jr. since it has been confirmed Reuben and Robert are sons and that Reuben married before 1805 and Robert was born 22 Jan  1784----the two tithes on the 1801 tax list were likely Reuben and Robert.  Samuel Jr. appears on an 1804/5 tax list only so he may be someone else's son.

Children with Unidentified First Wife:

-------------------8-Samuel Ware Jr. (c1781-c1805). Samuel may have had a son named Samuel Ware Jr. who appeared on the K&Q tax lists for only one year in the early 1800s-this Samuel may have died about 1805. I have also listed Samuel Ware Jr. as a possible grandson of Edward Ware who died c1774.

At the time of marriage, it was noted that William was 24 years old and Maria was 23 years old; Both William and Maria’s age must be incorrect. Reuben’s father, died in 1836. William was likely 34 years old instead of 24 years old and Maria is likely 32 years old instead of 23 years old when they married in 1863, which would suggest William might have been, born c1830 and Maria was born c1832. William was a farmer from Middlesex Co. VA. The 1870 Gloucester Co. VA Census, PetsworthTownnship, Household 418, shows the following living in Maria Ann (West) Ware’s household: Isaac West (32), Tho K. West (26), Joel N. West (23), Willitina West (21), Tho. L. West 13, Harriet West (60), and Isaac Ware (2). The 1870 census data infers William L. Ware was possibly deceased before 1870, and his widow was living in Petsworth Parish, Gloucester Co. VA with her mother (father likely deceased) and her siblings; the census also infers that Isaac Ware born c1867/c1868 (2 years old at the time of the 1870 census) was likely a son of William L. and Maria Ann (West) Ware.

Also, for consideration, is that William’s 50 acres he leased from Samuel in 1828 was bound by Henry Mickelborough, George Blakley’s estate, the land of Nancy Watts, and the main road-therefore, the property must have been east of Samuel’s original 1792 land purchase which was to the west of the Briery Swamp.

NOTES:

William was likely born c1800 in Middlesex Co. VA, and I believe him to be the eldest son of Samuel and his second wife, Nancy Shipley, whom Samuel married in 1799.  However, there is always the possibility he was born earlier, and may have been the son of Samuel and Samuel's Unknown first wife. Apparently, William never married. His property (147 acres) was located southeast of Jamaica in Middlesex Co. VA. Silas Ware bought the property on auction in November 1851 for 810.00 and on the same day sold the property to Nathaniel Daniel for $850.00.

                                                      Teste   Robert N. Trice

-------------------8-Elizabeth Ware (c1803-) m. Robert Daniel, Jr. (c1803-c1888) on 24 Mar 1823 at Middlesex Co. VA. Elizabeth was under 21 years old when she married Robert.

-------------------8-Ann J. Ware (c1807 m. Leroy H. Trice (Bet 1799 and 1810) on 9 Oct 1828 at Middlesex Co. VA. Samuel Ware provided Security for the marriage of Ann and Leroy. Witness for the marriage was Robert Daniel Jr. The 1830 census shows Leroy H. Trice with 1 male 20-30 years old, 1 Female 20-30 years old, 2 males 15-20 years old, 1 females 15-20 years old, and 1 male 0-10 years old in his household. This would infer Ann was born between 1799 and 1810 (likely born after her sister Elizabeth).

-------------------8-Frances Ware (After the 1810 Census (likely c1810/1811-c1835 Urbanna, Middlesex Co. VA) m. Augustus Ferdinand. Montague (c1807-c1850) s/o Abraham Montague (1787-1825) and Jane Lee on 14 Feb 1831 at Middlesex Co. VA. Surety and Witness for the marriage provided by Thomas Hundley Jr. After Frances died, Augustus married 2) Lucy Hooper in Middlesex Co. VA c1837 and 3) Eliza Gregory c1844 at Queen Anne Co. MO.; one child, Samuel Henry Augustus Montague, born 7 May 1845 at Baltimore, MD, resulted from the 3^rd marriage. Samuel had a daughter named Frances who was born after the 1810 census, however, it is uncertain if the Frances who married Augustus is Samuel’s daughter.

------------------------9-Cornelia Ann Montague (16 Sep 1833 Middlesex Co. VA). May have moved to Queen Anne Co. MD with her father between 1837 and 1844.

----------6-John Ware. This may be the John Ware who paid the 1787 taxes on Christopher’s estate.

----------6-Edward Ware. If Christopher Ware isn’t Samuel’s father, then Edward is the logical candidate.

--------5-James Ware. James may have died in the mid-1790s. It is uncertain if James is the brother of Christopher or the brother of Samuel.

--3-Thomas Ware II (c1660-Before 6 Oct 1703). In 1699 Thomas Ware leased and released land in K&Q County. On 25 Apr 1701 Thomas Ware was one of 48 persons imported by Richard Littlepage of K&Q for patent of Pamunkey Neck land on Mattaponi River. On 12 Apr 1702 Thomas Ware patented 620 acres of land in Pamunkey Neck on Necatawance Swamp (Modern Day Harrison Creek). When Thomas died, Matthew Page, who was also a 1701 headright of Richard Littlepage, inventoried his estate; Matthew Page died in 1804. 6 Oct 1703-William Lea (Thomas' brother-in-law ?)-Escheated land in Kg Wm Co from Thomas Ware dec'd by inquisition from Mathew Page. Land was adjacent to John Madison's Mill on the north side of the Mattapony River in St. Stephen's Parish. Corner Hickory of John Taylor's landing to Anne Wiltshire's line, to Thomas Camp's. Recorded 4 Dec 1714.

-----4-Thomas Ware III (c1693-) In 1724 Thomas Ware patented 150 acres of new land in St. John's Parish, King William Co. VA, on condition of seating for the import of 3 persons-----he failed to seat, so John Lea/Lee (his Uncle ?) patented the 150a.

--------5-Peter Ware IV (1720 King William Co. VA-c1787 Possibly in Montgomery Co., NC) m. Susanna Randle (c1728-c1819/20) 5 Mar 1750 in Brunswick Co. VA. Susanna d/o John Randle and Mary Frances Randolph: John died in Brunswick Co. VA in 1753 (will dated 17 Nov 1752, proved 28 Aug 1753).

Notes:

Birth year is estimated on the basis of the known date for Susannah. In "Marriage Records of Brunswick, Va., 1730-1852 by A. B. Fothergill, 1953, Susannah Randle is shown to have married a Ware, given name not specified. Later documents prove this to be Peter Ware. Peter Ware is named in various legal documents in Brunswick Co., until the sale 28/10/1771, whereby he and Susannah sell to John Atkins, of Northampton, N.C., the property she received from her father (Deed book 10, pg. 244-246) By 03/01/1780, Peter Ware is in Anson Co., N.C. On that date he sells to Geo. Brewer of Halifax Co. 100 acres on Beaver Pond in Northampton Co., N. C. for 1400 pounds, witnessed by Roland Ware and others. In 1782 tax records for Montgomery Co., N.C. includes a Peter Ware with 150 acres, with Roland Ware (unmarried) and a Thomas Ware, other children are listed along with 3 cousins. Peter Ware is noted in District 4, Montgomery Co. in 1787. This is the last record found that documents Peter Ware's presence.

Notes for Susannah Randle:

Susannah death is noted in the William Morgan Family Bible. "She died in 98th or 99th year of her life.”  This statement is probably in error; since it would indicate a birth year of 1720, while information from other sources have her born about 1728. Her parentage is established by a gift of love from John Randle to his daughter, Susannah Ware, of the plantation on which she lived with the 163 acres adjoining (Brunswick Co., Va. Deed Book 4, pg. 125). On Oct. 28, 1771 this same land is sold by Peter Ware and Susannah, his wife (Brunswick Co., Va., Deed Book 10, pg. 244).

-----------6-Roland B. Ware (1 Jan 1760 Brunswick Co. VA-15 Jun 1864 McMinn Co. TN (Buried at South Liberty Cemetery in Athens, TN) m. Temperance White (c1772-c1845) in Mecklenberg Co., NC before 1800.

Notes for ROLAND B. WARE: He probably migrated to Northampton Co., N. C. by 1774 with Peter Ware. In 1778 he entered the service and fought in the Revolutionary War. He lived to be 104 years. "While a resident of Montgomery Co., NC, he enlisted in 1778 and served at various times until the close of the Revolution, amounting to about 12 months in all, as private with the North Carolina Troops under Capt. Ramles, and Buckner Kimbrell, Colonels Harris and Childs; he was in skirmishes with the British and the Tories on the east side of the Peedee River. He was allowed pension on his application executed July 1,1844, at which time he was a resident of Warren County, Tennessee. Roland appears in the 1820 census for Warren County, Tennessee. In 1857 he was living in McMinn County, Tennessee, and he died June 15, 1864. From a letter signed by Winfield Scott dated March 10, 1926 military:  He served 12 months as a guard to guard the legislator of North Carolina "to keep off the Tories and British.”  He said he entered active service in Northhampton, N.C. being drafted for 3 months, then marched on to Halifax in NC (not VA) and from there volunteered in the horse company of Calvary, then called the light horse company. He then was in Montgomery Co., N.C. and went to Drowning Creek. Residence: His pension papers indicate he lived in Warren Co., TN before McMinn Co. and there are Warren Co. records accompanying. He is buried at Liberty Cemetery that is located about 8 miles south of Athens, TN. There are 114 unmarked graves.

Notes for Temperance White:

Who was Temperance? No one seems to know. Temperance was born c1772 and died c1845. Burial was at Smyma Cemetery at Smymnna, TN. A stone reportedly marks the grave and reads "Wife of Roland Ware". Roland became ill shortly after Temperance died; he was 84 at the time. He went to live the remainder of his life with his son, Allen, in Athens, TN. He died at age 103.

-------------7-Sarah Jane Ware (15 Dec 1787 Montgomery Co. NC-20 Apr 1856) m. Ezekiel McGregor. Sarah may have been named for her father's sister named Sarah.

-------------7-Susan Ware (15 Dec 1787 Montgomery Co. NC-25 May 1871) m. Willis McGregor. Susan may have been named for her grandmother Susannah.

-------------7-Isham Ware (c1793 Montgomery Co. NC-25 Dec 1885) m. Martha Norton.

------------------------8-Elizabeth Ware (c1822).

------------------------8-Allen Ware (c1824).

------------------------8-Delonamus (aka Adelonamus) Ware (c1830).

------------------------8-William W. Ware (c1840).

------------------------8-Mary Ware (c1841).

-------------7-Wiley Ware (c1805->1880) m. 1) Mary Clark 2) Fanny R. Caruthers on 3 Jul 1838 at Fayetteville, TN 3) Leticia "Letty" (Martin, Hays) Argo d/o Jacob Martin and Catherine "Katie" Myers (c1814-) in 1852. Wiley, Letty, and daughter Sarah were enumerated in Warren Co. TN on the 1880 census. Letty was previously married to John Luck Hays and then to David Argo and had a daughter named Catharine Argo.

Note by Len Ware: Wiley's son, Absalom Ware, was arrested as a rebel and sentenced to be executed for desertion during the Civil War and his brother Roland was killed at the battle of Perryville and his two half brothers, Samuel and John, were killed at the battle of Peach Orchard near Atlanta, GA. This fact might explain the hard feelings between Absalom and the rest of the Ware relatives in Tennessee. This is probably why Horace Ware forbade any mention of Absalom's name. Well, look at it this way, if he had been executed many of us wouldn't be here today!

Children with Mary Clark:

--------------------8-Arminda Ware (1828) m. Thomas Sullivan.

--------------------8-Absalom Ware (c1830 Warren Co. TN-c1898 AR) m. Drucilla Stiles (c1832 Warren Co. TN-c1898 AR).

Buried next to her husband at the Oaklawn Cemetery in Jonesboro, AR.) on 9 Aug 1916 at the Craighead County Courthouse in Lake City, AR.

Note on Ollie Viola Pearson by Len Ware: Ollie Viola Pearson was the daughter of George Pearson and Rainey Alice Morris. She was a devout member of the Church of Christ. Consequently, her husband and most of her children were baptized into the church and many of their children worship in the Church of Christ to this day. I was only 2 years old when she died but her legacy of love and faith in God has influenced my life through the people that she touched and likewise all who knew her.

-----------------------------------11-Auddie Byrl Ware (Maudie's Twin) (11 Jul 1920 Macey, AR-6 Apr 1981. Burial at Manila Cemetery in Manila, AR) m. Pauline Marie Perry (17 Jul 1926 Earle, AR-Living). 3 Feb 1944.

Pauline Marie Perry was the daughter of Robert Grover Perry and Lena Ella Harris. Her siblings were:

Robert Grover Perry Jr. m. Alice Tinsdale.

Lelia Imogene Perry m. Finis Powell.

Berna Larie Perry died in infancy.

Billy Wayne Perry m. Elnora Shrable.

Helen Maxine Perry m. 1) Hershel Johnson 2) Don Rowley 3) Thomas Vessels 4) Junior Gann

Gerald Laverne Perry was killed during the Korean War c1951.

Pauline began teaching in 1944 immediately after graduating from Manila High School in Manila, AR. She first taught in the Section 16 Rural School at Manila. While her husband was overseas she taught at Milligan Ridge School located south of Manila. At the age of 52 she received a BSE in Education from Arkansas State University in Jonesboro, AR. After her husband died in 1981 she retired.

Auddie Byrl Ware fought in France, Germany and Belgium during WWII. He was wounded in Belgium on January 4, 1945. He achieved the rank of Corporal. Medals received for his service include the European African Middle Eastern Theater Ribbon, Two Bronze Battle Stars, a Gold Purple Heart, the Combat Infantryman Badge and the Good Conduct Medal. He received an Honorable Discharge on February 21, 1946. He was a patient at Lawson General Army Hospital in Atlanta, GA at that time.

Auddie was a member of the American Legion, Herman Davis Post #197, located in Manila, AR. Before moving to the Blackwater Community south of Manila in 1962, the family lived in the old Granny Davis house located near the Herman Davis State Park and Byrl was the caretaker of the park for many years. He and his wife, Polly, were advocates for veteran's widows and their children. They helped many families of veterans over the years that they served in this role.

When Byrl and Polly lived in the Mt. Pisgah Community located south of Jonesboro, AR, Byrl helped to build the County Line Church of Christ. The block building he helped build still stands and is used as the church fellowship hall. A new auditorium has been added to the original building. All of the water that was used to make the cement came from a spring located behind Byrl and Polly's house. The water was carried in buckets and jugs from the spring through their house and loaded onto Byrl's old blue Dodge pickup truck; then, it was hauled to the building site.

Byrl was also a member of the Masons having been inducted into the Nettleton Masonic Lodge in Jonesboro, AR.

Note on George Gordon Ware’s death by Len Ware:

George Gordon Ware was first reported missing by his uncle, Virgil Pearson, on March 7, 1964.  Gordon’s brother, Auddie Byrl Ware, never gave up searching for him for over nine months. Floodwaters on Hatchecoon Island located near Rivervale, AR where Gordon lived hindered the search.  Gordon’s skeletal remains were found in Dec of 1964.  Byrl had him buried next to his mother, Ollie Ware, at Oaklawn Cemetery in Jonesboro, AR.   When the remains were found the Sheriff told Byrl Ware that they would proceed with criminal proceedings and investigate Gordon’s obvious murder further if that was what he wanted.   Byrl replied, “No Sir, that’s not  what I want.  All I ever wanted to do was to find my brother and to give him a proper burial.  I felt I owed that much to my mother.”  He added this comment, “I believe who ever did this will create their own prison in their mind and will suffer more from that than from being locked up.”

He had previously been stationed at Buckley Field in Denver, CO.  While stationed there, he became ill with rheumatic fever that resulted in an enlarged heart.  He spent seven months in the Fort Logan Hospital.  After being dismissed from the hospital he was told that he would be discharged and was sent to Fort Smith, AR.  However, he was declared as essential to serve in the Army Military Police until his discharge on March 26, 1945.  One of the medals that he received was the Good Conduct Medal.

Notes on Mary Caery Ware by Len Ware:

Mary Caery was the daughter of Monroe Caery.  Her mother died when Mary was very young.  She is reportedly buried in the Hornersrville, MO cemetery but no grave marker has ever been located. Mary Caery and Pauline Ware became acquainted with each other as young girls.  They became best friends and later ended up married to brothers.   Mary Ware has a brother, James Caery.  Since she never had a sister of her own, she claims Pauline as her sister and Pauline feels the same way towards her.  In 1941 Mary’s uncle, Walter Caery, built the house in the Blackwater Community next to the Floodway Levee that Auddie Byrl Ware and Pauline bought in 1962.

Notes on Homer Ware by Len Ware:

Gladys Peters was the daughter of a medical doctor and was used to having money and fine things.  Homer Ware was unable to provide her with the lifestyle that she was accustomed to living. They came to Arkansas and lived briefly with Roscoe and Ollie Ware and other relatives.   Homer tried to please her but she was too much of a lady for farm life so she took their three children back to Knoxville, TN and told Homer that she was going to stay there.  After several years alone and no contact with Gladys, Homer married Vadie Shaver.  Homer was never divorced from Gladys Peters so he moved his family to Yuma, AZ to live.  He died there circa 1961 and Vadie died c 1998.  Both are buried in Yuma, AZ. 

Shortly after Homer Ware’s death his son, Bobby Dan Ware, came to visit Monette looking for his father.  Byrl Ware explained to him that he was deceased but did not reveal where he and Vadie were living at that time.  Byrl gave him some money and sent him on his way.  Neither he, nor his two sisters have ever contacted the family again.

Notes on Mary Lewis and W. D. Ware by Len Ware:

When Horace Ware died in 1921 Mary and Bill were only 11 and 13.  Relatives in Monette were going to send them on the “Orphan Train” to either live in an orphanage or to be adopted.  When Henry Roscoe Ware, Sr., their half brother, heard what the relatives intended to do he raced his team from Lake City, AR to Monette, AR.  He arrived just in time to ask Bill and Mary to live with him and his wife, Ollie. Aunt Mary and Uncle Bill Ware were considered so much like children of Roscoe and Ollie that when Auddie Byrl Ware died in 1981 it was his specific request to list them as immediate survivors in his obituary.  We listed them along with his brothers and sisters.

Uncle Bill pretty much raised himself.  As a young man he used to “ride the rails”. On one occasion he was hopping a train and a railroad employee hit him in the forehead with something probably like a tire iron.  As a result, he had a permanent crease in his forehead.  He was lucky to survive.  I grew up hearing this story but his daughter did not know about it until the day of her father’s funeral when Bill’s cousin, G. F. Stewart, relayed it to her.

Oral family history tells of an amusing incident involving Uncle Bill Ware and Byrl when they were growing up together. They were especially close.  They stumbled upon some moonshiners in the woods. The men were afraid that the boys might reveal the location of their still so they were going to kill them and dump their bodies into the river to look as though they had drowned.  Before any harm could come to them Virgil Pearson, brother of Ollie Viola Ware, walked upon the scene and told the men that they were his nephew and his brother-in-law’s half brother.  Virgil made the boys drink lots of whiskey until they passed out and then took them home in his wagon.   The next morning was Sunday and Ollie found them passed out drunk on the porch.

 "VA Soldiers of the Revolution" by L.A. Burgess (pub 1927) states Leigh Ware (husband of Sally Crawley) is the son of Sergeant Samuel Ware. To date no other evidence has been found to confirm this father-son relationship.

-------------7-Leigh Ware (NET 1770 but NLT 1780-c1842) m. Sarah "Sally" Crawley (<1783-died bef Jul 1832 d/o Samuel Crawley -Confirmed by Jul 1832 Bounty Records for Capt Samuel Crawley who died testate in Williamsburg on 8 January 1793.  Samuel Crawley left a widow named Ann (his 2nd wife?) who married 2nd William Lake. She died testate in Oct 1835 in Williamsburg VA. In the 1820 Williamsburg Census, Leigh was either in the 26-45 yr age bracket or 45 up (page very blurred); his wife Sallie was in the 26-45 yr age bracket.  In the 1830 York County census Leigh is listed in the 50-60 yr age bracket, while his wife Sarah is listed in the 40-50 yr age bracket. Leigh first appears in James City Co. on the Williamsburg, VA personal property tax lists 1800-1827. He acquired land there in 1804. Between 1828 and 1830 his residence is Norfolk VA. By 1831, Leigh reappears as a resident of Williamsburg.  In 1841 and 1842 Leigh's Wmbg land records say he is living in K&Q Co VA. In 1843 Leigh's Wmbg land is shown as estate of Leigh Ware. Probably (in his old age) went to K&Q to live with his son William S Ware & wife Martha who had purchased 3/4 acres of land near Shackelford's in 1840.  From 1801-1807 Leigh worked as a tailor and later, in 1834-1838, he was issued a merchant's license in Williamsburg. (Side note- a William Ware listed as a Deputy Sheriff in 1795 Williamsburg).

Other Notes on Leigh Ware Sr:

1.  Pvt. Leigh Ware -Muster Roll of Lt. Wm. Seymour-Co of Infantry 54 Reg't (Sharp's) VA Militia June 22 to July 16 1813-Pay 6 dollars 52 cents-Norfolk Va (War of 1812),

2.  Leigh Ware's father may have been from the Williamsburg area where a William Ware was Deputy Sheriff in 1795. Also this area shows a William Ware b29 Dec 1760 to George Ware and Martha in Charles Parish, York Co VA.

3.  Leigh is sometimes spelled Lee and is sometimes misread (in old scrip writing) as Hugh.

2-Thomas Ware (c1634-c1693) m. Jane (c1639-c1703). Appraised estate of Tom Reynolds 2/26/1682 Hampton Parish, York Co. VA.

2-John Ware (c1638). In 1675 he owned property adjacent Edward Cardingbrook, Nicholas I, and Peter Ware Jr. Also, owned land next to Nicholas and Peter Ware in 1680 and 1682 New Kent Co. VA.

2-Nicholas Ware I (c1636 – Bet 1691 and 1704 K&Q Co. VA) m. Unknown. Nicholas patents 386a in 1665 with John Garrett in New Kent Co. (his brother Peter's patent in 1675 shows this land was adjacent Col. William Claiborne, Edward Cardingbrook and John Ware). According to his son Edward's 1722 patent, Nicholas I received a total of 795a from Henry Madison. Nicholas, received 415a in 1680, and an additional 380a soon after. The 380a belonged to Henry's father, John Madison, Sr., (b.  c1625) of Queen's Creek, York Co., who was living adj. Col. William Taylor. John patented 1030 acres in New Kent Co. in 1664 with John Pigg, each receiving 515a, After selling his father’s land in 1675, Peter Ware, Jr., who was then living in Queen's Creek, York Co., purchased land next to his brother, in New Kent Co., VA.

--3-Nicholas Ware II (c1658->1713 K&Q Co. VA)-A 1713 patent identifies his son as Nicholas Ware, “Jr.” (III) of Stratton Major Parish, indicating Nicholas II, was still living in 1713. He was charged with 718 acres in 1704 K&Q Quit Rent Rolls.

-----4-Nicholas Ware III (c1680 New Kent Co.-1744 Caroline Co.) - a 1713 Essex Co. (later Caroline Co.) patent identified him as "Nicholas Ware, Jr." of Stratton Major Parish, King & Queen Co. (previously New Kent Co.), this 1713 patent was from Richard Long for 5 shillings, (the 5 shillings denotes a "token" sum, suggesting this may have been his father-in-law a close relative.  This land was adjacent William Harrison, Samuel Elliott, John Buckner and John Long. A 1734 Caroline Co. court ordered him to assist with building a new road.  He was to have Gabriel Long's (son of Richard who m. Margaret Harrison), John Holloway's, Nicholas Ware, Jr.'s and John Garrett's people assist, (John Garrett was later the father-in-law of two of Nicholas Ware, IV's sons). This places the birth year of the elder Nicholas, before 1693 and the younger Nicholas before 1713, but more likely 1680 and 1700, based on generations before and after. In 1727 John Buckner of Essex Co. sold him 310a near Ware's bridge, adjacent Golden Vale Swamp, John Holloway and Persimmon Branch. In 1728 he was granted 1000 acres in the fork of the Rappadan (Rapidan) River in St. George's Parish, Spotsylvania Co., VA; he sold 500 acres in 1733, and the remaining 500 acres in 1740 to Jeremiah Rawlings.  A land deed shows a Jeremiah Rawlings, deceased, lived adjacent Nicholas Ware in New Kent Co.  In 1741 Nicholas was appointed Constable in Caroline Co., and that same year he and John Dillard proved the will of William Harrison. In 1744 John Dillard was identified as the writer of the will of Nicholas Ware, which mentions sons Edward and Nicholas.   He married Jenny Garrett, possibly a daughter of John Garrett who patented land with Nicholas Ware, I in 1665.

Notes: The areas along the Savannah Riverfront known as Woodlawn and Meriwether were settled by families chiefly from Maryland and Virginia. These families were named Ware, Meriwether, McKie, Hammond, Crafton, Nixon, and Middleton. (Middleton had 150 tracts of land between 1770 and 1820 with 1000 acres in each tract, with each being located on a branch of the Saluda River.) These families intermarried and did business together.

Notes: Earliest transportation was largely by riverboat and ferries along the Savannah River and became the main trade, travel and mail crossings to Augusta, Georgia. (Reported in the Quill in the minutes of the May 1990 meeting of the Old Edgefield District Chapter of the SC Genealogical Society.)

Notes for Robert Ware, Jr.:

Robert Ware Jr.'s year of birth has not been firmly established but researches generally agree "about 1780" is likely. It is also likely that he was born in the Edgefield District, South Carolina.

1808 Aug 18 - "Samuel; Crafton to Nicholas Ware of Augusta, Georgia, & Robert Ware of Edgefield, as tennants in common, Deed of conveyance, Two thousand five hundred dollars, to be paid by Nicholas and Robert, two tracts. One tract bounded N by Stephens Creek, Leroy Roberts, Wm. Stringer, and John Purvis, containing 300 acres, conveyed from Joel Grizzle to West Cook on Feb 9, 1803. The other tracts adj. Land of Harrison Monday, Samuel Crafton, Leroy Roberts, Samuel Crafton, Stephens Creek, containing 125 acres, it being land whereupon said Leroy Roberts formerly lived.  Also part of a tract originally granted to David Wilson on April 3, 1772 conveyed by Leroy Roberts to West Cook on December 31, 1804." Witnesses were Henry Ware Jr., Thompson Ware, and Dan Willis. Justice Robert Ware certified relinquishment of dower rights by Elizabeth Crafton on September 13, 1808. It was proven by Daniel H. Willis and Robert Ware Jr. and recorded Mar 27, 1809. (Edgefield Deed Book 29, page 352)

1808 Oct 3 - "Martin Hitt to Robert Ware, Junr, Deed of Conveyance. One hundred five dollars, 21 acres between  Stephens Creek and Savannah River being part of land originally granted unto Moses Lucas, adj. Morgan's old line, Spring Branch." "Proven October 27, 1808 by John Sullivan and Robert Ware Jr. Justice Robert Ware certified relinquishment of dower rights by Lucy Hitt, wife of Martin Hitt on Oct. 27, 1808. The plat was surveyed on September 28, 1808 by Robert Land D S shows adjacent lands of Martin Hitt, Robert Carson, Morgan, Harrison Monday, and hill for a mansion." It was recorded March 27, 1809.  (Edgefield County Deed Book 29, page 355)

1810 - The 1810 Edgefield Census lists Robert Ware Jr.'s house with one male under 10 years old, two males 10-15 years old, one male 26-44 years old, one female under 10 years old, one female 16-25 years old, one female 26-44 years old, and one female 45 and up. In addition, there were 20 slaves.

1812 Sep 5 - For the sum of $636, Robert Ware purchased two tracts of land; one contained 300 acres, and the other contained 125 acres, and both being in Edgefield District, SC, from Nicholas Ware of Richmond County (Augusta), Georgia. It was witnessed by Nancy Barton, Henry Ware, and Joseph Crafton. On the same day, Susan Ware, wife of Nicholas, appeared before Robert Ware, Justice of the Quorum, and relinquished her dower rights (Deed Book --, pages 281-282).

Note: The 1976 Roster of Texas Daughters Revolutionary Ancestors (#362438) incorrectly combines Robert with his cousin Robert Alexander Ware who had two wives and added Elizabeth Stanton as his third.

1821 Jun - Robert Ware died in early June 1821 without a Will. Elizabeth Stanton Ware applied for Letters of Administration on June 7 1821.

Note: there is a mention in the Curryton Academy article written by Claude M. Hill which states: "After returning from the Seminole War, Captain (Robert) Meriwether became a successful planter in Martintown, whence he moved to the Ware place in the Fork, going to Curryton to educate the children and help the school."

Lettis is believed top be the d/o Thomas Powell who died in Caroline Co. VA in 1739; Nicholas Ware appraised his Estate.  In 1785, he gave consent for Sarah to marry, i.e., Sarah under 21 years old in 1785. Edward's son James referred to the spouse of Henry's daughter Frances as his "cousin" in a letter written to his sister Sarah inquiring about Thomas Waugh. This appears to tie Edward and Henry together as brothers. Note: Edward lived in Lexington Parish.

Children of Edward Ware Sr. and Unknown 1^st Wife:

--------------7-Mark Ware (c1742->25 Sep 1795 Probably in Amherst/ Rockbridge Co. VA). It is suspected that Mark could have been the son of Edward Ware and a first wife since no documentation has been found that referred to Mark as Mark Powell or Mark Powell Ware.  Mark Ware was listed on 1783 Tax List for Amherst with 7 Whites/0 Blacks in his household.

1783 Tax List-Amherst Co. VA

Mark Ware (7 Whites) Note: Mark was first son of Edward Ware.

Mark was born c1740 in Caroline Co. VA and died after 1795. The names of his children are unknown but they may be Thomas, James, Edward, John, William, Sarah, Elizabeth, Ann, Marcus and Nancy.

------------------8-(Speculation Only) Thomas Ware (c1763 Amherst Co. VA-26 Dec 1851 Nelson Co. VA) m. Mildred “Milly” Brayandt (Bryant ?) Jopling (c1765->3 Mar 1854), widow of Holman Jopling, on 8/15 Oct 1787 at Buckingham Co. VA; Security for the marriage was provided by Randolph Jefferson. Thomas enlisted as a private in Capt. Leak's Company in 1781 at Albemarle Co., VA under Colonels. Richardson & Lindsay; they marched to York. On Sunday, the French took Pigeon Hill. Thomas was called on to work in plain view of the enemy's breastworks for four days and nights. While there the enemy kept up a brisk cannonading with little injury-only one man was killed; four days later they were compelled to surrender. The initial terms of surrender were rejected by General George Washington, but after much negotiation were finally accepted.  The army put down their arms, and the next day, along with other militia troops were marched to Nolan’s ferry on the Potomac River. There, they were delivered to Maryland troops. Thomas Ware served a total of eight months of service. Thomas’ widow filed for a pension on 3 Jul 1853 in Buckingham Co. VA. Her application was confirmed by James Lyon of Nelson Co. VA on 3 Mar 1854 when he testified, “he went to school with some of her children to Mr. Holman Jopling.”  Milly Ware’s pension claim was allowed.
