Dear Jerry, Are you saying that the Francis Wire who had wife Hannah and died during Rev. War and lived in Randolph Co. is the Francis McGuire-Ware-Wire of this suit? Did William listed here ever go to Randolph? Or have a son Richard? Jean Loudin

Jerry Wear wrote: Hi everyone, Do you have weird ancestors in the Monongalia, Harrison or Randolph County WV, Washington Co. PA or OH areas? If so you will want to contact me. We have uncovered a name shortening of McGuire to Wire in Augusta County, VA in the late 1700s. Which lines changed their names and which didn't is known at this time. There are records for this family that include the following spellings so far: Wire, Wier, Ware, and Wear. In the following lawsuit filed in Augusta County VA, we find a treasure chest of information. The Francis, who is listed is the line, which changed their name. However, several other lines may have followed as well. As you read the suit ignore the McGuire name and substitute your spelling. I have much additional information and will share with anyone who thinks they may tie in. Please E-mail me at: jerry wear <[email protected]> Do not send attachments or html letters to this address.

Thanks Tom! This is getting more and more interesting all the time! This may indeed lead me to Captain James N. Ward's hometown...if someone doesn't get there first! I understand General George Armstrong Custer of "Custer's Last Stand" fame did write to an Augusta Ward Frary in this same area of New York. (See next paragraph.) I wonder if there is a connection between James N. Ward and Augusta Ward Frary. Will have to call the Rochester Public Library on this subject. Perhaps they have more information. <It is my hope that I can nail down the ARMSTRONG connection in Ireland this way. To my knowledge, no one has been able to do this. I believe it is possible that my Jane Armstrong and General George Armstrong Custer are from the same family in Ireland.> Per note from Carol ([email protected]): "The letters are in the archives of the Rochester Public Library and were purchased from a private collector. They wer written to Augusta Ward Frary who was born 31 May 1835 in Bugettstown, PA. A letter from the library asks if John Ward, Augusta's father, is also the brother of Maria Ward Kirkpatrick Custer."

Unknown after Lovina died. I know this isn't a lot of help but I suggest you research that cemetery carefully as you may find additional relatives there. Be very careful in your research as there are 2 other weird lines in the Townships around St. Clair. Also the Wear/Weare line of Prebble Co. were on the Butler Co. boarder and Lemon Twp. I would research that will of Jacob Wehr in 1848. I know Butler County very well geographically, so if I can ever assist just let me know. Take care.

Thanks Jerry, You found some information I didn't have, I guess it's back to the library for me. I want to check some microfilm and book census. I have ordered the book on the cemetery where this family is buried should be interesting when it arrives. I have sent for the Jacob Wehr's (that married Mary C.) death certificate. I will sent for the Jacob Wehr's (one that died in 1848) will next. Again thanks for the help. Nellie Barnes

Dear Ware-L list, and Pat and Robin, >"James N. Ward served as a 2nd Lt., 3rd Infantry.

Ward was promoted to 1st Lt., 3rd Infantry, Mar 5, 1851; and >Capt., Sept 28, 1857. He died at age 35 in 1858." Does this look familiar to anyone? I need James N. Ward's hometown. I believe he went to West Point (US Military Academy) and graduated in about 1846 with his classmate, Henry Boynton Clitz.

Hi Jerry Wear, I don't know much about this family before 1850 but here goes. Jacob and Catherine Wehr were born in PA. They married around 1809 in Pa. According to the 1810 Census, they had one son, Eli and two daughters at that time. They had another son, Enos in 1812 sometime after that they moved to Butler Co., Ohio where their third son, Gabriel was born in 1817. In 1818 they donated two acres of land to the Hickory Flats Cemetery near Overpeck, Ohio. On November 26, 1824, their son Jacob was born in Overpeck, Butler Co., Ohio, followed by Franklin in 1827 and Lorenzo in 1829. Jacob owned a farm in Butler Co. and owned and managed the first distillery in the state. I found a book census for Ohio in 1840 for Butler Co., Ohio listed are Jacob Wehr, Nathan Wehr and Jonas Wehr, all of St., Clair Twp. I also found a book, Wills and Estates to 1850, lists Wehr, Jacob E-1848 BU a-t8 p541. I know that Jacob born in 1824 died on June 15, 1913, in Butler Co. and was buried in Hickory Flats Cemetery it may be that Jacob and Catherine are too. Nellie Barnes

In the Marriage records of Georgia there is a George N. Ware and Susan Cockran (Cochran) (Cockram record of 1831. W600 WARE, GEORGE N C265 COCKRAN, SUSAN A L Sep 15 1831 in Morgan County, Ga. In the Will of her father dated 1843, Susan is mentioned, "my grand-children of my daughter Susan Ware now of the state of Alabama, to them and their heirs forever." It appears after the marriage the couple moved to Alabama. Susan Ware was the former Susan Cochran (Cockram) daughter of Matthew Cochran (Cockram) of Morgan Co. Ga.
