Pete, There are a few of us here in New Jersey attempting to track down various Waer's [Ware, Weir, etc.] It appears that in NJ there were concentrations of Waer's in Morris County and in Ocean County (Waretown). There is also a large contingent of Ware's that were originally from Dedham, Mass. I know that this isn't much to go on, but I hope that it helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

Wares I have a Joseph Ware married to a Lydia Clutch. They were supposedly natives of New Jersey. Their daughter, Eliza, who was b. Dec. 16, 1828 in N.J. was my gggrandmother. As a young girl she moved with parents from N.J. to the Cleveland, OH area, then on to Warren Co., IN, and eventually to Savannah in Andrew Co., Missouri. There she married Stephen W. Kennedy in 1853, moving with him to Nemaha Co., NE. If anybody has any info (such as DOB, county or even town of origin, as well as ancestry) on Joseph A. Ware, I'd really appreciate hearing from you. Pete Bickel [email protected]
