She puts her age as 32 (which would make her birth year 1888), She was born in Texas. Her father and mother are both shown as being born in Mississippi. I also located a recent IGI record showing a Willie Maude Ware born on 4 Jan 1888 in Wilson, Texas. Father was Napolin Barnypart (as spelled on the IGI) Ware, and mother was Heneretta Cybell Gillespie. I cannot locate either her father or mother in any census or other IGI or death records, so I'm a bit suspicious of the information. Clarence "Jack" Lamb has confirmed his mother's name of Willie Ware in three different documents I've received, and the middle name of "M" was listed in one document. As far as the information that came from family, that Willie Ware Lamb died in Arizona, that could still be true. It's also possible she died in Texas, so I'm keeping an open mind. It's also possible that her birth year is 1886 and not 1888... so we might still be linked somehow. The SSN application for the Willie who died in Texas, has not arrived yet. When it does I'll let you know what it says on it. Good luck in your search, and keep in touch.
