Samuel" (Samuel, 3 Nathaniel*), born May 9, 1746; died at
Heath, Mass., aged 83, Dec. 5, 1829. Kemoved before 1781 to
Conway, Mass. "A gentlemanly and tender physician, cheerful
and ingenious in his profession. His genial spirit made him many
friends, and his constant public employment as a Justice of the
Peace, &c, made him well known. He was of the salt of the
earth." "Dr. Ware was a gentlemanly and tender physician, exact
and neat in his dress, careful and temperate in his diet, very indus-
trious, an early riser, cheerful and ingenious in his profession, and
was sent for in towns seventeen miles distant. He said he had
earned a good estate, while others were sleeping. He regretted he
had not accepted his father's offer of a college education. After
giving up his employment he seemed to live on the verge of heaven,
and his body was apparently the temple of the Holy Ghost. His
genial spirit gave him many friends, and his constant public employ-
ment made his name as present as the light of day which will not
soon be forgotten. He was of the salt of the earth." [Written by
his daughter, Mrs. Sally Bonney.]
Married Jan. 24, 1771, in Dedham, Bethiah Avery, daughter of
William (William, William, William) and Bethiah (Metcalf) Avery
of Dedham (born Jan. 26, 1749, died Dec. 2, 1843, buried at
Heath). [1]

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Samuel 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 Samuel:
I have in my possession the document appointing Samuel Ware to the position of Justice of the Peace. It is signed twice prominently by John Hancock. I will post a picture of it soon.
