What I have is; William Wares married to Mary Pratt Children include Samuel, William, Melissa, Mary, Richard Augustus and Robert(mine)b. 12 May 1834 VA. In 1838 they moved from what is now West Virginia to Missouri. I have had problems with the Virginia records as I have discovered the courthouse has burned twice, the county has changed names three times and of course the state has changed names. Robert married Elizabeth Doherty b. 28 Jan 1836 d. 29 Mar 1889 Kingman KS(her family was also from VA)They married 26 June 1854, I think in MO. Their children are Anna Eliza, Richard I (Uncle Richard died in OK, maybe in Moore,) Nancy Jane, Parthena F., Joseph B.; B. 1 Oct 1961 (Mine)to Mattie Willson 5 Mar 1885 in MO. Mary E, Fountian R. Virlinda E. Sary M. Sereney M. and Sofa Barbey. I have wondered if the name Fountain wasn't Fountaine at one time. I worked that angle when I ran into a woman who had a Virginia Fountaine ine. It did not connect but that's not to say it's not somewhere else. The E. middle name may be a clue also but I have not found out what they stand for. Joseph and Mattie are my ggrandparents through their son Delbert A. and his dau. Esther. I'm on my way to my moms for a month so will be out of touch for a while. Let me know if we connect. Janet
