Jim, Could it be that because Jehoiada Jeffery's wife was a WARE, there is a connection? Do you know who the father and mother of your Jehoiada Jeffery Ware was? Here's an old message from a list member of the past (not sure if he's still on this list). Have you compared notes with him? And, wasn't Jehoiada in Illinois before coming to AR? =========================================================================================================================== From: Ron & Karen Myatt <rkmyatt@uswest.net> >Subject: Our Ware line >To: WARE-L@rootsweb.com >Hi, > >We have been on the list for some time and have picked up some small tidbits on >our Ware's, but if possible we need some more help. > >We are looking for information on William Ware born 1820 in Ill. married Delilia >Langston resided in Izard and Fulton Co.
