Hi do you have a Dudley and or a Rice Ware in your line Thank you Dencie Cook

I'm trying to find information on the parents of my ggrandfather Joseph Ware. He was born about 1879. He married Ellen Quarles on Nov. 30, 1895 in Catoosa Co, Ga. and he was probably born in or near Catoosa Co since Ellen lived in the same area. I know he had one brother named John and probably one brother named Jesse and another named Alf or Alfred. Can anyone help me with this Ware family line? Mike Troxell

One of my Ware lines goes back to the Peter Ware who married Mary Hickes. (I descend from Peter, Jr.,'s daughter Frances Ware, who married Matthew Branch.) Someone on the Ware genforum posted that they had information all the way back to England, but my e-mail was not answered when I tried to write that person. Does anyone know how I can find out some of this information? Thanks, Linda benlinda@flash.net

Hi, My George Ware/Waer/Wair etc. (so many spellings) shows up in Massachusetts/Rhode Island area early 1700's, but he also does not tie in with any of the Ware families here in Ma. A note in his sons bible said "see early history of Gloucester" but it could be one of many /Gloucester's, after a diligent search it is not Ma. there are no Ware's in that history. I checked Rhode Island and no Ware's in their history. Now I guess N.J. and Va. I am not sure what other states have early histories for Gloucester. George Ware d. in 1805 his wife d. in 1797 in Hopkinton,Middlesex,Ma. His sons Archibald(my direct line) and George also b. Middlesex Co. Ma. I have documented back to George and would love to go back to England or Ireland(do not know which) I will keep an eye out for your Richard, there are just so many WARE families all over. Good luck!

Every one talks about the northern and the southern Wares. My poor Richard shows up in Randolph Co. Va.(now WV) by 1787 and no one can find him on their tree. His father may have been William. Does anyone have a missing Richard? I know he didn't just fall out of a tree. He may have been married to a Nancy at that time. Jean

That's true. It wasn't uncommon after the slaves were freed to take the last name of their former owner or someone famous. Hence the large number of Washington's, Jackson's, Johnson's, etc. This did not necessary mean they were fathered by by the owner or overseer although it did happen. --- Original Message --- From: "Jerry Brooks" <jbrooks5@hcnews.com> To: WARE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [WARE] Re: ware >You want to be cautious about the last name inference.

I do know that my G G grand father had slaves that is why I think that they disowned my G Grand mother due to the fact that she married a yankee just before the civil war. we have a picture hanging up in the court house that is a black decendent of John ware so I do know this much is right but my cousin has got more on this line and also has traced them back to England but we just cant find very much on our G Grand mother Dencie Cook

Hi I am also researching the Ware Line my Great grand mother was Nancy Ellen Ware I think her fathers name was John and they called him Jackie they settled in Casey County, KY My G. Grand mother married John B. Waters he was a Yankee and her family was a confederate we cant find any other info on her family and we think that when she married a Yankee that her family disowned her. If you have any thing on this family please let me know Thanks desperately needing help Dencie Cook

You want to be cautious about the last name inference. Many of these births simply carried the owner's name; I found this out when I was doing research in Kentucky where the parent (father) was listed as a female who was also the owner. jb -----Original Message----- From: Helen Ware [mailto:helenware@attbi.com] Sent: Sunday, August 04, 2002 10:45 PM To: WARE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [WARE] Re: ware I think from your posting your Ware family is of African American descent am I correct?

I think from your posting your Ware family is of African American descent am I correct? It is so hard to keep our lines straight and don't you ever wonder if somewhere along the way our bloodlines mixed and we just haven't found it yet? I found on my Taylor line that the owner of the big plantation had several children by young black women and gave them his last name. So far all my Ware's are from New England and haven't found a tie to Southern Ware's. But all the names are the same so I always check out every posting for Ware. Good luck in you family search.
