Disconnecting Mary Dudley as wife of Valentine I as unproven. May have been married to Valentine II.

Disconnecting Mary Leigh as wife of Valentine II as unproven. He may have been married to Sarah Leigh sister of Mary Leigh or Mary Dudley.

Disconnecting Mary Leigh as wife of Valentine Ware I as unproven.

This entire line needs research.

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]

Hello,

I have been trying to piece together the Ware family from Wikitree and the resources it refers to.

This Valentine Ware (Ware-2278) shows him having 2 wives - Mary Leigh and Mary Dudley. However, the source found on Valentine Ware (Ware-699), 'Complete Lineage of the Ware Name' , indicates that the Valentine Ware that married Mary Dudley was the son of Valentine Ware -2278 and Mary Leigh. In addition, Valentine Ware-699 is linked to a wife Sarah Lea whose biography provides information regarding William Leigh which is identical to that given in the source 'Complete Lineage of the Ware Name' for Mary Leigh wife of Valentine Ware Sr.

Regards, Karen

I found the same information, that Valentine Ware Sr. married Mary Leigh (Tower Records say he married Sarah Leigh) and that Valentine Ware Jr. married Mary Dudley but the age for Mary Dudley did not line up with Valentine II's age? I found other sources that say Mary Dudley was married to Valentine I.

Valentine Ware Jr. with mother in law Mary Leigh patented land in K&Q in 1705 after his father Valentine Ware Sr died. Something is not correct here and needs more research. diedhttps://www.geni.com/photo/view/4106229739660067687?album_type=photos_of_me&photo_id=6000000017854916010
