IN MY OPINION, MALACHI WARE WAS THE SON OF HENRY WARE OF HANOVER PARISH, KING GEORGE CO., VA AND THE GRANDSON OF NICHOLAS WARE III - SEE WWW.WAREFAMILYHISTORY.COM
I BELIEVE HIS ANCESTORS WERE AS FOLLOWS:
1-Peter Ware Sr. (c1608 probably Cork Co., Ireland-Bet 16 Sep 1657 and 10 Sep 1659 Hampton Parish, York Co. VA). In 1647 Peter was an attorney for Robert Lewis in York Co., Virginia. In 1675, Peter Ware, Jr. sells land in Queen’s Creek, Hampton Parish, York Co., VA to Nathaniel Bacon in which he identified the land as having belonged to his father, Peter Ware. Mary Hickes was identified in a 1659 Orphan’s Court document as the widow of Peter Ware, from this document it appears Mary Hickes maintained her maiden name, which was an old Welsh custom
2-Nicholas Ware I (c1636 – Bet 1691 and 1704 K&Q Co. VA) m. Unknown. Nicholas patents 386a in 1665 with John Garrett in New Kent Co. (his brother Peter's patent in 1675 shows this land was adjacent Col. William Claiborne, Edward Cardingbrook and John Ware). According to his son Edward's 1722 patent, Nicholas I received a total of 795a from Henry Madison. Nicholas, received 415a in 1680, and an additional 380a soon after. The 380a belonged to Henry's father, John Madison, Sr., (b. c1625) of Queen's Creek, York Co., who was living adj. Col. William Taylor. John patented 1030 acres in New Kent Co. in 1664 with John Pigg, each receiving 515a, After selling his father’s land in 1675, Peter Ware, Jr., who was then living in Queen's Creek, York Co., purchased land next to his brother, in New Kent Co., VA.
--3-Nicholas Ware II (c1658->1713 K&Q Co. VA)-A 1713 patent identifies his son as Nicholas Ware, “Jr.” (III) of Stratton Major Parish, indicating Nicholas II, was still living in 1713. He was charged with 718 acres in 1704 K&Q Quit Rent Rolls.
-----4-Nicholas Ware III (c1680 New Kent Co.-1744 Caroline Co.) - a 1713 Essex Co. (later Caroline Co.) A document recently surfaced stating, "Nicholas Ware, the ancestor who lived in Stratton-Major parish had married Jenny Garrett, and they settled there in 1665, and their son went up to what is now Caroline County in as early certainly as 1713 and died in 1744 in Caroline Co. and left two sons named Henry and Nicholas." Using this new information, we would need to eliminate Nicholas Ware II from this lineage. This information is currently being investigated. A 1713 patent identified him as "Nicholas Ware, Jr." of Stratton Major Parish, King & Queen Co. (previously New Kent Co.), this 1713 patent was from Richard Long for 5 shillings, (the 5 shillings denotes a "token" sum, suggesting this may have been a close relative). This land was adjacent William Harrison, Samuel Elliott, John Buckner and John Long. A 1734 Caroline Co. court ordered him to assist with building a new road. He was to have Gabriel Long's (son of Richard who m. Margaret Harrison), John Holloway's, Nicholas Ware, Jr.'s and John Garrett's people assist, (John Garrett was later the father-in-law of two of Nicholas Ware, IV's sons). This places the birth year of the elder Nicholas, before 1693 and the younger Nicholas before 1713, but more likely 1680 and 1700, based on generations before and after. In 1727 John Buckner of Essex Co. sold him 310a near Ware's bridge, adjacent Golden Vale Swamp, John Holloway and Persimmon Branch. In 1728 he was granted 1000 acres in the fork of the Rappadan (Rapidan) River in St. George's Parish, Spotsylvania Co., VA; he sold 500 acres in 1733, and the remaining 500 acres in 1740 to Jeremiah Rawlings. A land deed shows a Jeremiah Rawlings, deceased, lived adjacent Nicholas Ware in New Kent Co. In 1741 Nicholas was appointed Constable in Caroline Co., and that same year he and John Dillard proved the will of William Harrison. In 1744 John Dillard was identified as the writer of the will of Nicholas Ware, which mentions sons Edward and Nicholas. Information, which helped to identify three sons of Nicholas Ware III, came from Pamunkey Neighbors by Sam Sparacio.

HENRY WARE OF HANOVER PARISH, KING GEORGE COUNTY, VIRGINIA
HENRY WARE (c1708-7 Oct 1750/7 Dec 1750 King George Co. VA) m. (Jane Markham ?). This may be the Henry that owned a grist mill in St. Mary’s Parish, Caroline Co. VA before 1732. Henry’s brother John was Executor for Henry’s will. Maj. Harry (aka Henry) Turner, who along with John Ware, was appointed Executor of Henry’s will refused to serve as Executor; he died a short time later. Witnesses to Henry’s will were Elizabeth Markham (widow of John Marshall) and her two sons, Benjamin and William Marshall, of Westmoreland Co., VA. John Ware, the Executor of Henry’s will return an inventory of his estate on 5 Sep 1751. Henry’s wife may have been the sister of Elizabeth Markham, one of the witnesses to Henry’s will.
Notes: Henry is first listed on the 1739 Orange Co. VA Tithe List of Constable James Pickett with 3 tithes likely living on the property that he identified in his will as the “Ware Tract.” In 1728 Edward Watts filed the original land patent for this 900 acre parcel of land, at the time located in St. George’s Parish, Spotsylvania Co., VA. On 19-20 Jul 1736, the land, then located in St. Mark’s Parish, Orange Co., VA, was leased and released from Edward Watts by Richard Mauldin of St. Margaret’s Parish, Caroline Co., VA; Richard Mauldin bought the property from Edward Watts ion 23 Feb 1743. On 25 Apr 1744 Edward and Lucy Ware, Henry’s brother, bought the property from Richard Mauldin. Prior to Henry’s death in 1750, Henry acquired the property, likely from his brother Edward via an inheritance (Edward Ware died c1747/8) or purchase. Following is a complete description of the property from the original 1728 land patent as filed by Edward Watts:
“For 900 Acres New Land in Spotsylvania Co, VA 28 Sep 1728.GEORGE the Second, TO ALL: WHEREAS, We have given granted and confirmed, and by these presents for us our heirs and successors do give, grant and confirm unto Edward Watts of Spotsylvania County one certain tract or parcel of Land containing nine-hundred acres lying and being on the branches of Black Walnut in Saint George's Parish in the county of Spotsylvania aforesaid and bounded as followeth, to wit, BEGINNING at two red oaks and a white standing in Mr. Robert Slaughter's line, thence northwest one-hundred and sixty poles to two white oaks standing on a level, THENCE west one hundred and eight-six poles to a white oak and a red standing on rolling ground in John Lee's line, thence along his line south ten degrees west one hundred and eighty-two poles to two corner white oaks and red oak saplings, corner to William Edding's and John Lee's thence along Edding's line north fifty-four degrees, west eighteen poles to a red oak bush near a ridge, thence south forty degrees east one hundred and eighty poles three corner white oaks of Edding standing on rolling ground, THENCE south five degrees, east four hundred and seventy poles to a white oak and red oak in George Purvice's line by a branch, THENCE north seven degrees east four hundred poles to a red oak and white oak corner of Watts in Slaughter's line, thence along Slaughter's line north sixty degrees, west one hundred and sixteen poles to two white oaks and a red oak on the side of a hill on the south side of branch a corner of Slaughter's thence along Slaughter's line north thirty degrees east to the beginning,” The property appears to have been located in present day Orange Co, VA on both sides of the Black Walnut Run near the towns of Rhoadesville, Bledsoe Corner, and Burr Hill.

At a court held for King George County on Friday, December the seventh 1750 the last will and testament of Henry Ware, deceased, was presented into court by John Ware, one of the executors, who made oath thereto. Harry Turner the other refusing to take the executorship of him, and the same was proved by the oaths of William Marshall and Benjamin Marshall and admitted to record. Inventory of estate of Henry Ware returned to court by John Ware, his executor, and ordered to be recorded. (King George County, Virginia Order Book 2, 5 Sep 1751.
1770 - 25 Aug, In 1770 Markham, Clara, and Markham’s sisters Elizabeth & Jane, sold the 900 acre “Ware Tract” located in Orange Co. VA. Received land in Goochland from father, named in will. Indenture from the Orange County, Virginia Deed Book 15, Page 241. This indenture made the 25th day of August in the year of our Lord Christ one thousand seven hundred and seventy by and between Markham Ware and Clara, his wife, Elizabeth Ware, and Jane Ware of Culpeper County of the one part and Richard Abell of the County of Orange of the other part, Witnesseth that the said Markham Ware, Clara, his wife, Elizabeth Ware and Jane Ware for (diver ?) good causes and considerations, themselves thereunto moving but more especially for and in consideration of the sum of thirty pounds of good and lawful money of Virginia, to them the said Markham Ware, Elizabeth Ware, and Jane Ware in hand paid by him, the said Richard Abell—sold—unto the said Richard Abell all that tract or parcel of land lying and being in the county of Orange., known by the name of “Ware’s Tract”, containing 900 acres more or less and bounded as follows, that is to say, beginning at two red oaks and white oak standing in Robert Slaughter’s line ..standing in falling ground on John Lee’s line. corner to Eddins’ and John Lee’s, thence along Eddins’ line…in George Purvise’s line.. corner to Thomas Watts’ and Slaughter’s line.

NOTE: Henry Ware specified in his will that, "I give and bequeath to my son, MARKHAM, all my lands lying in GOOCHLAND COUNTY, to him and his heirs forever. Item I order that my land in ORANGE COUNTY be sold by my Executor hereafter mentioned and the money let at interest till MY CHILDREN COME OF AGE, and then equally divided among them. In 1770, 20 years later Markham, along with his wife Clara, and his sisters Elizabeth and Jane sell the property to Robert Abell. ADDITIONAL NOTE: Since the 1770 deed mentions Elizabeth and Jane with the surname Ware, they were still unmarried in 1770 and likely the two youngest children.
Henry Ware b. c1708 married c1734 to Elizabeth (Markham?)
Children:
1. Markham Ware, eldest son, b. c1735 married Clara Lindsay by 1770 daughter of Joshua Lindsay and Mary "Polly" Nichols, he died in 1831 at the age of 96.
2. Probably Female FNU 1737 - no further information
3. Probably Female FNU 1739 - no further information
4. Probably Female FNU 1741 - no further information
5. Elizabeth Ware b. c1743 m. FNU Hipkins/Hopkins BFR 1770. In 1770 Markham, and sisters Elizabeth and Jane, sold 900 acre “Ware Tract” located in Orange Co. VA. In 1749, Henry Ware, Elizabeth’s father, bought 170 acres of land in Tuckahoe Creek; Markham and Elizabeth Hipkins sold this property in 1764 (b. Abt. 1743). In 1770, when Markham, Elizabeth, and Jane sold the 900 acres Ware Tract in Orange Co., VA, the indenture did not give Elizabeth’s last name but did state she was from Culpeper Co. VA.
6. Malachi Ware b. c1745 age 25 in 1770, unmarried in 1770 m. Elizabeth "Betsy" Brown
7. Jane Ware b. c1747 she was unmarried in 1770 m. FNU Smith AFT 1770. In 1770 Markham Ware, and sisters Elizabeth, and Jane Ware, sold the 900 acre “Ware Tract” located in Orange Co. VA; in the indenture Jane was referred to as Jane Ware "of Culpeper Co." Jane did not participate in the 1764 land sale by Markham Ware and Elizabeth Hipkins most likely due to being underage.
Henry Ware's brother John Ware, named as his executor, for some unknown reason decided not to sell the land in 1750 and "let the money at interest until the children come of age". We can only guess as to the reason his brother's wishes were not followed. Maybe John Ware felt the land would increase in value over the years higher than it could be "let at interest" and decided to keep the property until the youngest child was 21. Maybe a value was determined by appraisal when the children reached age 21, and Markham used his money to give them their share until he decided to sell the property in 1770.
