Diane What counties did you find your John Ware and his family? Some of the children of Nathan Ware moved north and west to Carroll county and around Chillicothe, MO (Livingston county) A cousin of our Lourinda Ware, Elliott Ware fought in the Civil War for the south. He was captured around Vicksburg, and offered the choice of signing a pledge to lay down his arms and go home. He did sign, they let him go and he went back to his old outfit to fight some more. Sneaky little rascal. Bet he had an honest face. Alice
