His parents possibly moved to Beauregard Parish (Ragley, LA) from MS - at least my g-grandfather Colin or Collen or Colon or Collin Ware. The Colin could have been his middle name... He is buried in Magnolia Cemetery in Ragley, LA. G-grandpa Ware's wife was an Armanda Mitchell. I can't seem to get any further back than this.... My grandfather (b. 1892 - d. 1965) had siblings of Carl, Annie, and others... He married Sina Maybelle Cooley (b. 1899 - d. 1955). Both are buried in Magnolia Cemetery in Ragley (Beauregard Parish), LA. My mother (1926-1986) was Lillian Evare Ware and was first married to J. B. Edwards of Beauregard Parish. J. B. died (1945) in WWII and is buried in Magnolia Cem.
