PETER WARE SR. (1608 - 1650) CHART

Married: Mary Hickes (1599 - 1659) Had: Thomas, Nicholas, John, Elizabeth, 2 children who died young, Edward, and descending son Peter Jr. In 1636, Peter sold his Munster leases (probably obtained through his father, John) in County Cork, Ireland and left for England and then Virginia. [** Interesting point - "In 1641, just 5 years after Peter and his family left Ireland, the Irish were intent on the murder of the whole Protestant population and up to 10,000 English Protestant plantation holders were massacred."] [ref. 379] Between 1646 and 1648, Peter Ware is mentioned as an attorney appraising estates in York Co., Hampton Parish. In 1651, Gloucester County was formed from York County and divided into 4 parishes: Abington, Kingston, Petsworth, and Ware. The King decreed that all newly settled land be divided into districts headed by a rector. The Wares were Vestrymen in Abington and Ware Parish before the formation of the county. [ref.388] There still exists today the Ware Episcopal Church which was originally built in 1690. Regular services are still held there. [ref. 70] "Documents show that Peter Ware Sr. owned and lived on 300 acres at Queen's Creek, York Co. Hampton Parish in the Virginia colony by September 4, 1646." [ref. 4] Peter Ware Sr. was obviously well educated; based on the fact that he served as an attorney in 1647 for Robert Lewis. He & Mary lived in an area that is near Ware Creek.

19. PETER WARE JR. (1632 - bet.1675 & May 23,1693) CHART Married: Jane Valentine Had: Descending son Valentine After selling land that his father left him in Queen's Creek in 1675, Peter purchased land next to his brother in New Kent County, Virginia. "A deed is on record in York County showing that Peter Ware Jr. sold land given him by his father (Peter Ware Sr.) on May 26, 1675 to Nathaniel Bacon; 1st cousin to the Nathaniel Bacon of Revolutionary War fame." [ref. 4, 333] 20. VALENTINE WARE SR. (1670 - c. 1731) CHART Married: Mary Leigh Had: Valentine Jr., John, Nicholas, Robert, and descending son Edward There are at least 3 major sources that state that Valentine Ware was heir to his father, Peter Ware Jr. & mother Jane Valentine. After Valentine's death, his wife Mary & her sons-in-law obtained two patents in King and Queen County; one for 600 acres and the other for 260 acres. His son, Valentine Jr., married Mary Dudley in King & Queen Co., Virginia. [ref. 4,173,333,391] ** Interesting note: Valentine's father-in-law was Col. William Leigh who had been a chairman for the House of Burgesses, Militia Commander-in-Chief, member of the Virginia Council, and first Judge of the Admiralty Court in Virginia. William Leigh's granddaughter, Elizabeth, (by his son John) married Zachary Taylor and was the grandmother of President Zachary Taylor. [ref. 4] 20. VALENTINE WARE SR. (1670 - c. 1731) CHART Married: Mary Leigh Had: Valentine Jr., John, Nicholas, Robert, and descending son Edward There are at least 3 major sources that state that Valentine Ware was heir to his father, Peter Ware Jr. & mother Jane Valentine. After Valentine's death, his wife Mary & her sons-in-law obtained two patents in King and Queen County; one for 600 acres and the other for 260 acres. His son, Valentine Jr., married Mary Dudley in King & Queen Co., Virginia. [ref. 4,173,333,391] ** Interesting note: Valentine's father-in-law was Col. William Leigh who had been a chairman for the House of Burgesses, Militia Commander-in-Chief, member of the Virginia Council, and first Judge of the Admiralty Court in Virginia. William Leigh's granddaughter, Elizabeth, (by his son John) married Zachary Taylor and was the grandmother of President Zachary Taylor. [ref. 4]

The sources I have show Valentine Ware III and his mother in law Mary Leigh patented 600 and 260 acres in K&Q in 1705 after Valentine Ware II died. https://www.ancestry.com/mediaui-viewer/collection/1030/tree/5222870/person/1168019088/media/8f17a128-d944-4e54-a65b-1103aa4d1f82?_phsrc=nHW5480&usePUBJs=true

That document on Ancestry does not explain what it source for the claim is. Can you track down the original sources it is referring to and cite those in the profile?

Ware-1800 and Ware-699 appear to represent the same person because: Same person? Ware-1800 has no other family members so could be merged with this
Ware-2554 and Ware-699 appear to represent the same person because: please merge correcting error report
Thanks so much for noting those were different Edwards, Eric!! I will leave it to you to remove the one that doesn't belong there.

Thanks Eric, they were in the bio of the merge but I've moved them now to the other profile.

After Edward is merged the kids will be right.

Carrie is right. thats what i had- 1676 and died aft 1739. the other 2 dupes had different dates or non. The sons are John Henry Peter and Edward. The children were likely born after 1697. The first 3 inline sources are for Valentine 1 son of Peter and Jane ware.

Thats what i ment you have to be careful to get the Wares in order.

Eric,

There is a problem with the children. Also, are you satisfied with the bio or should I put the info contained in the first three refs into the body?

Also there are conflicting statements about birth and death places. Can you please correct data post merge?
