Not to be confused with Eugenis S Ware.
Eugenius Marshall Ware was born in Virginia in 1834 to William Ware and Matilda Ware.
There is a lot of speculation about Eugenius' father, William Ware. Throughout many family records/bibles list a "William Ware" as the father of William Madison Ware, Hiram Valentine Ware, Eugenius Marshall Ware, John Ware, Amanda Virginia Ware and George Richard Ware. There is no record of a William Ware being married to Matilda Ware (no relation) or fathering any children. In fact, there is no record of William Ware except for a short biography mentioning that he was a farmer, prominent business man and a freemason in Randolph County, WV. [1]
It is also speculated that Matilda Ware had the above referenced children out-of-wedlock with Moses Arbogast. There is no proof of this and Moses was married to someone else at the time of each child's birth. Moses and Matilda were neighbors.
Civil War Records state name as "Eugenious Ware."
Eugenius Marshall Ware enlisted in the Confederate Army at Valley Head, Randolph County, Virginia (now WV) on May 21, 1861. He was 27 years old and single. He originally served with the 9th Battalion, Company C as a private from June to December, 1861. On the 21 Apr 1862 the 9th Battalion was merged into the 25th Virginia Infantry, Company I (2nd). His military records show that he was last paid on 30 Oct 1861 and the company muster rolls show him absent with out leave from April 1, 1862 until Apr 1863. [2]
Eugenius Marshall Ware died on June 25, 1863 in Randolph County, Virginia. [3]
He is buried in the William Ware Family Cemetery in Valley Head, WV. [4]
Inscription: (hand pointing up) Eugenius M, Ware, born Apr 13 1834, died, June 25 1863, (verse).
Note: This cemetery is identified as being the family plot of his brother William M. The oldest burials are those of himself; Matilda, his mother; Lucinda, his brother’s first wife; Emily, his brother’s second wife; Gordon, his brother’s son; and William M, his brother. I could find death records for only Lucinda and Gordon.
