The closest name I have to Almira/Elmira Ware is Erma Louise Ware, 1893-1952, she had 6 boys and 3 girls, perhaps Almira may be one of these?? What are the dates of b/d? To Valentine Ware, my records are from a Robert Early Ware (b1903) and he said an old lady in Kentucky contributed to some of his info. Also note, Robert went to Europe in the 1970's and researched Wares, visiting the cemetery at Trinity College in Dublin where descendants of Sir James Ware are buried, and he visited the town of "Ware", about 20 miles N of London and noted info on the "Great Bed of Ware" which is now in the Victoria-Albert Museum in London. According to my records, there is no Sr./Jr. Valentine Ware, because there is a generation between the two: Peter Ware, Jr. m. Jane Valentine Valentine Ware (1640-1693) (no wife stated) Edward Ware m. Elizabeth Garrett (probably from King and Queen Co., VA) Valentine Ware (1726) m. Elizabeth Taliafero (Taliaferro) Col. William Ware (1748) m. Patta Davis (Col. Ware's name is on a monument at the Gloucester Courthouse, VA. William Ware, Jr. (1778) m. Rosamond Rucker (granddau of Ambrose Rucker) and so on. Do you know the name of the "Wilder" book? I'd like to see that info. Many thanks and sorry so long. Sherry in Saluda, Va. > From: Frederick W.
