Nicholas Ware I (c1642 co. Kent, England-Aft 1713) On 21 Aug 1665, he patented a total of 386 acres with John Garrett in New Kent Co., next to Col. William Claiborne, Edward Cardingbrook and John Ware. According to his son Edward's 1722 patent, Nicholas Ware received a total of 795 acres from Henry Madison. He received 415 acres in 1680 and an additional 380 acres soon after. The 380 acres belonged to Henry's father, John Madison, Sr. of Queen's Creek, York Co., who was living adj. Col. William Taylor. In 1664, John Madison and John Pigg divided a patent of 1030 acres in New Kent. Nicholas appears on the 1704 Virginia Quit Rent Rolls charged with 718 acres. This 718 acres consisted of 536 acres he patented with John Darwood on 23 Apr 1681. The remaining 182 acres was his part of the 386 acres patented with John Garrett on 21 Aug 1665. John Garrett re-patented 204 acres on 26 Apr 1680, adjacent Cardingbrook and Jennings and previously re-patented same on 24 Feb 1675. In a 1713 deed, his son is referred to a Nicholas Ware, Jr., which indicates he was still living at that time. "Grandma's Book" by Eron M. Sharp, dated 1960, states: "Nicholas Ware, the first ancestor who lived in Stratton-Major Parish had married Jenny Garrett, and they settled there in 1665." Nicholas is first mentioned in 1660, when he and his brother Peter signed as witnesses of a deposition given by Francis Carpenter for Thomas Bucke's estate. He and Jenny married about 1667. She was likely the daughter of John Garrett of Upper Norfolk Co., who received 400 acres on 22 May 1642 upon Indian Creek on the Western Branch of the Nansemond River. [1]
