The Ware Genealogy
Charles P. Ware, 1928
... My father, the third son of Henry Ware, was born November 30, 1819, and lived until August 4, 1887. His name was Squire Lancaster Ware and he was a school teacher and farmer.
On January 8, 1846, he married my mother, Miss Julia A. Storms, daughter of Nathan Storms of Garrard County. My mother was born on October 14, 1825 and lived until April 23, 1900. She and father are buried in Buffalo cemetery at Stanford, Ky. ...
... My father, Squire Lancaster Ware raised a family of 4 sons and 3 daughters. My brothers are
- Henry Nathan,
- C. Jackson,
- J.M.
- and myself, Charles P. Ware.
The daughters were:
- Emma,
- Belle, and
- Rosa.
I am the youngest son and have a son, Louis Ware, of South America. He has two sons: Thomas and Louis Jr.
I was born February 19, 1863, right in the midst of the great Civil War. My father, being a slave owner and in sympathy with the Lost Cause, gave me the name of General Charles Pemberton, commander of the Southern or Confederate army at the siege of Vicksburg in June and July of 1863. I have always been proud of my name. I feel that it should be a matter of pride to my children and all others of the Ware Clan to be able to trace their ancestry, or line of descent, back to the days of Julius Caesar, Emperor of Rome and conqueror of the British Isles. There is a coat of arms of the Ware family, I have not yet secured the design but hope to at an early date. ...
