Biography

Daughter of Michael Ware and Jeanne Wight.[1]

Father Michael Ware's birth is not recorded in Wrentham. He might be the Michael Ware who died there in 1725. However, his 4 Dec 1707 marriage to Jane (not Jeanne) Wight is recorded in Wrentham (p 390).
Mother Jean Wight might be the Jeane Wight born 6 Sept 1688 in Wrentham, daughter of Jonathan and Elizabeth (p 223).
