Conway's warehouse. The same page indicates that from 1744-1748 Josiah

----------------//------------------
At A Court held for Amherst County the third Day of July 1786. This
Last Will and Testament of Edward Ware, Deceased, was this Day
presented in Court by James Ware and William Ware Alias Powell, two of
the Ececutors therein named and proved by the oath of Peter Carter &
Roderick W. Culloch, Witnesses thereto, whereupon the said Executors
with Thomas Lucas and John Crawford, their Securetys Entered into and
Acknowledges their Bond in the Penalty of five Thousand pounds and
took the oath Required by Law and this will was Ordered to be
Recorded.
Test. WM LOVING, Clerk
================================================================= ====
Based upon the above will, the children who are offsprings to this
marraige are: Sons: Mark, James, William, John, and Edward; Daughters:
Elizabeth, Anne, and Sarah.
Nicholas Ware IV and Robert Ware, Captain are listed under Nicholas
Ware III. According to Wilder-Ware Familes they are brothers to James
and Edward Ware from this family. This is one area that needs
additional research.
QUESTION: Why did Mark Ware and his children receive only 5 shillings
when all of his sisters and brothers were given parcels of land? One
possibilty is, as suggested on page 850 of the Wilder Ware Families,
that he had previously received some land in KY. Several members of
the Ware families did move to KY in this period of time.
=================================================================
The U.S Census, 1783 Amherst Cty, VA shows:
HEAD OF FAMILY WHITE BLACK
WARE, Edward 3 15
WARE, William 5 4
WARE, Mark 9 --
THURMOND, Philip 9 13
VEALE, William 5 --
===========================================================
See also notes under his wife Lettis Powell.
QUESTON: Were the children refered to as "Powell" in the will the
step children of Edward Ware? The notsd filed under his wife, Lettis,
indicate there may have been children born out of wedlock. One thing
for certain Edward Ware did recognize the children and left
considerable property to them.
===========================================================
According to John H. Smallwood the date of birth of Edward Ware was abt 1710.
This date was selected because of the dates on his will which is recorded in general notes for Edward Ware. Will was signed on 1 Jun 1799 and was probated the the Amherst Probate Counrt on 3 Jul 1786. Therefore death is between these dates.
