Ware Family History: Descendants from Ancient, Medieval, and Modern Kings ...
By Wanda Ware DeGidio

http://www.warefamilies.org/

Four families: Winn, Thomas, Ware, Garrett of the southern United States, from 1600s to 1993 - Switzer Library, Cobb County; Atlanta History Center

Wilder and some connecting (especially some Ware) families in the Southeastern United States of America: a belated, 'though very incomplete, report of such part of them, of their origins, of their migrations and of their genealogies, as could be found in a cursory search

From nutherslatton on Ancestry:
Thomas WARE was born in 1770 in Caswell County, North Carolina. He died on 19 Jan 1859 in Colorado, Colorado County, Texas. He is one of the foundational ancestors of the Sons and Daughters of the Republic of Texas. Per the Colorado County Chronicles, Volume I & II: "Colorado County was originally part of Stephen F. Austin's first colony, and was known as the Municipality of Colorado under the rule of the Mexican government. In 1837 it was organized as one of the original counties of the Republic of Texas."

From http://library.columbustexas.net/history/Criminal%20Causes.htm
Texas Court Records Colorado County District Court Records Criminal Cause File Index, 1837-1930 compiled by Bobbie Elliott and Bill Stein.

Though they are often overlooked, the cause files in the Office of the District Clerk are an enormously valuable resource for both historians and genealogists. The cause files come in two types: criminal and civil. The former contain papers relevant to the various criminal cases that were directed to the district court; the latter the papers of the lawsuits that were filed in the district court. This is a list of the criminal cause files from the beginning of the county, 1837, until 1930.

The list provides the cause file number, the style of the case, the year the indictment was handed down, and a brief description of the alleged crime, as it appears on the indictment. Many of the numbers were assigned to more than one case. No explanation for this has been encountered. Often numbers appear to have been skipped. These numbers were probably assigned to a case, but either no cause file was created for the case, or the cause file that was created has been lost or filed elsewhere. Information on the cause numbers missing from the list below might be gleaned from the various minute and docket books in the Office of the District Clerk. Remember that accusation is not the same thing as guilt. Those wishing to discover the outcome of any of the cases listed below should investigate further at the Office of the District Clerk at the Colorado County courthouse.

There is a criminal case on file for Thomas Ware:
Criminal Cause File No. 563: State of Texas v. Thomas Ware (1848) assault with intent to kill William R. Turner. In his defense, the Turners were a rowdy, and even a dangerous bunch as evidenced by further court records:

From the records, apparently Thomas Ware and his brother Nicholas were joined in the attempt on William R Turner's life by John Tanner. William Turner owned the local gambling house and had other charges against him including assault and murder. Interesting bunch. As we say in Texas, people need killin'. Just kidding. It's possible Ware met up with WR Turner first in Greene Co, Georgia before the Wares and Turners moved to Texas.

From:
Consider the Lily: The Ungilded History of Colorado County, Texas by Bill Stein

Stein, ed., "The Slave Narratives of Colorado County," Nesbitt Memorial Library Journal, vol. 3, no. 1, January 1993, p. 11; Colorado County Commissioners Court Minutes, Book 1, pp. 3-4.

"...Most curiously, another of the largest slaveholders, Charles B. Stewart, owned 20 slaves but no land or other taxable property in the county. Another, Thomas Ware, had a plantation of 1107 acres in the north part of the county which he presumably had operated since he acquired it on May 19, 1840. In 1846, he had 17 slaves. To his north was a 600-acre plantation, which had been purchased by Briggs W. Hopson on March 8, 1840. In 1846, it was operated by Hopson's widow, Elizabeth Y. Hopson, and staffed by thirteen slaves. "Ware's and Hopson's plantations were nestled amidst the growing number of smaller farms that were owned and operated by Germans, and isolated from them not only linguistically, but because they were two of the very few in the area that used slave labor. Whether for philosopical or economic reasons, the Germans who were settling in the area in increasing numbers, by and large did not own slaves. In 1846, for example, of the seventy slaveholders in Colorado County, only one was German. That man, Charles Kessler, did not live among the other Germans, and owned only two slaves.

"....On May 9, 1846, a little more than a year after the Colorado County commissioners created the patrols, the state government passed a law which authorized the various counties to create them. The law specified that slaves could be given no more than 25 lashes, and allowed the patrols to arrest white people who were "found in any assemblage of slaves, or in or about any negro quarter" (see Gammel, comp., The Laws of Texas 1822-1897, vol. 2, pp. 1497-1501)....

"Since 1850, the number of slaves in the county had nearly tripled, and the ranks of suspicious slaveholders had swelled accordingly. John Matthews had greatly increased the number of slaves he owned, surpassing James S. Montgomery as the largest slaveholder in the county. In 1856, Matthews had 81 and Montgomery 78. Caleb Claiborne Herbert, with 29 slaves, Richard H. Foote, with 24, George Washington Thatcher, with 19, and Thomas Ware, with 17, had continued to operate their nearby plantations. ...

".... Texas Monument, November 6, 1850. The vote at Frelsburg, still called Cummins Creek by the newspaper, was 35 to 0 in favor of the bill. In Columbus, 24 persons voted for the bill and 45 against. The large slaveholders voted 9 to 0 against the bill at Thomas Ware's plantation.

"....Others of the old plantations had also changed hands. Thomas Ware had died on January 19, 1859, leaving his estate to be divided among fifteen heirs. After some quick legal maneuvering, on March 9, 1859 his administrators, Nicholas T. Ware and Frances Elbert Harwell, organized Ware's 24 slaves into fifteen lots and had each heir draw a number from a hat to determine which slave or slaves he or she got. Soon, the plantation itself was conveyed to Phineas M. Garrett, who, in 1860, operated it with the help of 35 slaves.

"...Other people raised horses, hogs, or chickens. Several, including Robert Robson and Leon de Serin, raised sheep. De Serin, who had an aristocratic family background in France, was probably the single greatest champion of sheep-raising in the county. He had arrived in Texas on February 20, 1842, only to discover that the law then in force made persons eligible for land grants only if they arrived prior to January 1, 1842. Nonetheless, the day after they arrived, he and some of his fellow passengers drafted a letter to Sam Houston asking that they be granted special dispensations. Houston refused. De Serin spent the next few years struggling to support himself and his wife and daughter, fending off illness, and contemplating returning to France. In 1846, he moved to Colorado County and began raising sheep.... He is not known to have lived in the county after 1852. What became of his sheep, each of which he had named and for which he kept meticulous birth and death records, is unknown. De Serin's eccentric sheep-raising, and others' eccentric cattle-raising, were sideshows to the county's economic base, farming. There were two distinct types of farmers in the county: those who used slaves and those who did not. Most of the German farmers in the north part of the county did not, and their failure to do so isolated them further from their English speaking neighbors. The largest slaveholder in the north part of the county, Thomas Ware, had in 1849 sold his plantation to William Frels and purchased another, smaller one, to the north of Claiborne Herbert's on the east side of the Colorado River....

By virtue of his purchase from Ware, Frels became by far the wealthiest and most productive of the German farmers."

Colorado County Probate Records, Final Record Book F, pp. 47-61; Colorado

County Tax Rolls, 1860; Eighth Census of the United States (1860) Schedule 2, Colorado County, Texas; Colorado County Deed Records, Book H, p. 101, Book J, p. 786, Book K, pp. 33, 34; Colorado County Bond and Mortgage Records, Book E, p. 428. Though Garrett did not finally complete purchase of Ware's plantation until February 21, 1863 (see Colorado County Deed Records, Book L, p. 353), it is clear from the tax rolls that he had acquired title to it earlier. Probably Garrett's purchase of the property was contingent upon him making a series of payments, which were only completed in 1863, at which time the deed was written. Rhodes came to the county in 1858, that year entering into a partnership with Angus McNeill and his family to cultivate McNeill's plantation (see Colorado County Bond and Mortgage Records, Book E, p. 171).

Thomas Ware was married four times. His first wife, Mary Sarah Jemison, our ancestor, bore him nine children, dying at the age of 41. His second wife was Phoebe Peeler, whom he married 2 Jun 1818. Together, they had an additional seven children. His third wife was Jerusa W Gordon Hope, a widow who he married 29 Feb 1844 in Colorado County, Texas. She bore him one child. His fourth marriage was to Nancy A McClosky, another widow, who he married 19 Feb 1848.

Thomas WARE and Mary Sarah JEMISON were married in 1793 in Greene County, Georgia.

Extracts from letter - dated 11 Jun 1894
Henry Ware to his daughter Elizabeth (Ware) Mitchell
... As to my relatives; my father had one brother old than himself, his name was John, my father's name was Thomas. They had one half-sister. John and Thomas were left orphans at the close of the Revolutionary Ware. My fatther was 16 years old at the time and was raised by his uncle, Robert Ware, who immigrated from Maryland (after the war) to Lincoln County, Georgia, where my father became a man.

He married my mother either in Lincoln County or Twiggs County, Georgia, I don't remember which. My uncle John immigrated to Kentucky at an early day, became a large property holder, and raised a large family of children. He visited us in Georgia, when I was about 8 years old. I remember his saying he could out-run, out-jump or throw down any man whose wife had thirteen children. I have met some of his grand-children. I have been informed that Mrs. Ex-President Lucy Hays, that noted temperance worker, was his grand-daughter - her mother was a Ware. I know but little of my father's relatives.

My mother was a Jemison, her name was Sarah, she died in Greene County, Georgia when I was 4 years old. I have a very indistinct recollection of her. She had two sisters. Elizabeth married William Kirkham. Artemisia married Moses Wheat, you know. They had five brothers, William, Samuel, Joseph, Robert, and Henry. Robert Jemison Jr of Birmingham, Alabama is a grandson of Uncle William. Elbert Jemison is a son of Uncle Robert. Owen, the young man you knew in New Orleans, was a grandson of Uncle Henry.

The old stock of Jemisons were men of intellect and enterprise. Aunt Artemisia (Jemison) Wheat was a woman of very superior ability.

Note: Henry Ware, the author of this letter, was the youngest child of Thomas Ware and Sarah Jemison.
