Betty, this if from the "Wilder and Ware..." book. Is this your Dudley Ware? ------<snip>-------------------------------------- This Nicholas was known as the "EDGEFIELD NICHOLAS" because he settled in the Edgefield County of the South Carolina Colony and was one of the six cousins or brothers who brought this line to South Carolina and Georgia Colonies before and immediately after the Revolutionary War, about whom this book was first intended to gather and preserve in print their scattered traditions and genealogy. F-1. Nicholas Ware (IV) (Son of No E-1 Nicholas (III) & wife Mary Thompson) lived in Caroline Co., Va., but full details of his birthplace and date of marriage Page 0851 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- are not known. He engaged in a blacksmithing business in that county with a kinsman: Henry Ware, who was a son of Valentine Ware, Jr., a descendent of Peter Ware, Jr (No. C-1) whose line preceded that of the first Nicholas (No. C-2) in this record . This Nicholas (IV) married Dolly Garrett of Caroline Co., Va. and this Henry Ware married Martha Garrett, a sister of Dolly's. Eventually both Nicholas (IV) and his associate (and brother-in-law) Henry followed their father-in-law, John Garrett's family to the Edgefield District of the S.C. Colony, where John Garrett's will was probated in 1801 and names his daughters, Dolly G. Ware and Martha G. Ware among others heirs. This Nicholas (IV) was known as "Edgefie1d Nicholas" to distinguish him from a distant cousin, another Nicholas Ware IV), a descendent of the same Peter Ware, Jr. (C-1), who had settled in the Abbeville District of S.C. and known as the "Abbeville Nicholas". The Rev War service of this "Edgefield" Nicholas (IV) Ware has been accepted by the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution for membership of his descendent Eva Ware (Mrs. Wm. M.) Wilder under their National Number 281,493, and is why this genealogical effort was originated by its author. G-1.
