I don't know where their ancestors lived, but conveniently between Mississippi and Oklahoma is Arkansas, and I know a WARE family who live in Clark County, Arkansas. I will have to check the census to see what their origins are. tootncmon

It might just be a matter of finding the connection. I'm going to send an update that list all of the dates and information i have. Were your Wares White or Black? Also, the dates on the births were in line with my Wares.

Can't find them before then or after then. Many of them ended up in Oklahoma in the early 1900's. Do you know if Ware was a fairly common name in Mississippi at that time?

I am researching African-American NEELY and BURTON families from the Holly Springs and Byhalia, Mississippi areas.

Louella Hargraves Hamilton is my great-grandmother. I would love to find any and all family who might be related to these ancestors.

I gave the woman who was doing the search "Angeletti" my mother's maiden name. She came up with Angelety, and the color drained out of her face. (no pun intended) She said Oh no, that can't be right, he was in the "colored" infantry--engineering corps to be exact--bridge building. This all made perfect sense to me, since my great-grandfather, Emile Angelety was a brick layer, and taught his sons, my grandfather and his brothers the trade. Old man Emile suposedly counted the bricks for the old Eola hotel in Natchez. Maybe it was his father that served? I have tried to find this ancestor again, but to no avail. I would love to find the whole Angelety clan, most of whom would be in La. -Laurie Livingston-
