Research Notes
He may have had a sister Lucy born 21 Feb 1787 in Chesham to Richard Ware and Sarah Bonham[9] Given that his oldest daughter was named Sarah (after his mother?) and that he had a daughter named Lucy it seems possible that Jerimiah is a son of Richard Ware and Sarah Bonham but more evidence is needed to support this theory.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Jerimiah by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Jerimiah:
