The will of Edmund Ware, 17 Apr 1833, is online in a typescript format, and a handwritten version from the will book! Using the info from Jack, below, I found the typescript version in the South Carolina Online Archives at http://www.archivesindex.sc.gov/onlinearchives/Thumbnails.aspx?recordId=300885 The handwritten version can be found through the FamilySearch catalog. It is from a microfilm that is now online. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939L-FX4G-B?i=181&wc=M6NW-QP8%3A210902801%2C210917001%3Fcc%3D1919417&cc=1919417 "South Carolina Probate Records, Bound Volumes, 1671-1977," images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-19364-6988-36?cc=1919417 : 21 May 2014), Abbeville > Wills, 1815-1837, Vol. 02 > image 182 of 236; citing Department of Archives and History, Columbia. Edmund Ware's will is fairly long and involved. It was written in Abbeville District. He asked to be buried in Turkey Creek Church yard. He bequeathed several tracts of land, which he numbered, in the Abbeville area, on the Saluda River, and in the Laurens District. There are some slight differences between the handwritten version and the typescript . . . I found only a reference to Loveless, no James, but the will is long and dense, so I could have missed it. From the typescript version, here’s the part where Loveless is mentioned: “Lot Number five described as follows, all that Plantation or tract of land containing four hundred acres more or less situate lying and being in the District of Laurens on the tumblin shoal road and further known as the loveless and Mattison tract of land and adjoining lands belonging to the Widow South Nathaniel Pyles and the Estate of Allen Saxon and others which tract of land I value at the sum of eleven hundred dollars & designate as lot Number five and which tract is given under the express conditions, that the sum of one hundred dollars being that amount over and above the Valuation of the preceding tracts shall be paid over to my daughter Louisa Catherine Ware by the said James S. Rodgers Thomas Edwin Ware, Perigrine P. Ware, & Edmund P Ware, or by him who possesses himself of the said Lot Number five, as seperate and district (sic) gift to my said daughter —" Martha Genealogy - So many ancestors...so little time! > On Jun 29, 2016, at 8:35 PM, Jack D.
