The Ware Genealogy
Charles P. Ware, 1928
... Dudley Ware was highly educated and his wife was of French descent. Their children, Henry, Rice, and Edmond and their two daughters, Mrs. Tubbs and Helen, were all born in Virginia.
In 1797 Col. Dudley Ware, together with his wife, three sons, and daughter Helen in company with other Virginians loaded their possessions on horses and pack-saddle and came in by way of the Old Wilderness Road and Cumberland Gap, seeking new homes for themselves in the "Dark and Bloody Ground" beyond the Alleghenies. Finding the Indians less numerous and troublesome in what now comprises Pulaski County, Kentucky than they were in the Blue Grass regions he decided to make entry on abody of land lying just east of Pulaski Station, on the headwater's of Hyatt's Fork and Pittman Creeks. Where, with the assistance of his sons and some of his far off neighbors, he built himself a home near a fine spring, in what was, at that time, a dense and trackless forest, with people living miles apart and oft times he could hear the war whoop of the stealthy Indians and the howling of prowling wolves and other wild animals. ...
... Henry and Rice, the two older sons, lived at home for a few years and then removed to other parts. ...
... Henry Ware, eldest son of Col. Dudley Ware, and the writer's grandfather, removed from Pulaski County, Kentucky, and when quite a young man located in Garrard County, Kentucky, northeast of Lancaster, near the Richmond Pike and in time became one of the representative citizens of his adopted county.
