Colonel Dudley Ware was born in 1757 and died in 1824. He is buried in Ware Cemetary in Pulasky County, Kentucky.

Rice Ware Sr was born 1795, married Mary May 22, 1820, and died in 1883.  He was one of the earliest settlers in Pulaski County; a man of credit and prestige owning vast areas of land.  He was a religious man, and a church man.  He was one of the founders of the Regular Baptist Society in Pulaski County.

Also, would you help fill in between "Generation five" and you?
