I think from your posting your Ware family is of African American descent am I correct? It is so hard to keep our lines straight and don't you ever wonder if somewhere along the way our bloodlines mixed and we just haven't found it yet? I found on my Taylor line that the owner of the big plantation had several children by young black women and gave them his last name. So far all my Ware's are from New England and haven't found a tie to Southern Ware's. But all the names are the same so I always check out every posting for Ware. Good luck in you family search.

You want to be cautious about the last name inference. Many of these births simply carried the owner's name; I found this out when I was doing research in Kentucky where the parent (father) was listed as a female who was also the owner. jb -----Original Message----- From: Helen Ware [mailto:helenware@attbi.com] Sent: Sunday, August 04, 2002 10:45 PM To: WARE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [WARE] Re: ware I think from your posting your Ware family is of African American descent am I correct?

Every one talks about the northern and the southern Wares. My poor Richard shows up in Randolph Co. Va.(now WV) by 1787 and no one can find him on their tree. His father may have been William. Does anyone have a missing Richard? I know he didn't just fall out of a tree. He may have been married to a Nancy at that time. Jean

Hi, My George Ware/Waer/Wair etc. (so many spellings) shows up in Massachusetts/Rhode Island area early 1700's, but he also does not tie in with any of the Ware families here in Ma. A note in his sons bible said "see early history of Gloucester" but it could be one of many /Gloucester's, after a diligent search it is not Ma. there are no Ware's in that history. I checked Rhode Island and no Ware's in their history. Now I guess N.J. and Va. I am not sure what other states have early histories for Gloucester. George Ware d. in 1805 his wife d. in 1797 in Hopkinton,Middlesex,Ma. His sons Archibald(my direct line) and George also b. Middlesex Co. Ma. I have documented back to George and would love to go back to England or Ireland(do not know which) I will keep an eye out for your Richard, there are just so many WARE families all over. Good luck!
