Descendants of Robert Wares
Generation No. 11. Robert2 Wares (Unknown1 Wear)1,2,3,4 was born Bet. 1785 - 1790 in Virginia5,6, and died Bet. February 23 - June 15, 1832 in Smyth County (formerly Washington Co.), Virginia7. He married Barbara Hays8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15 April 19, 1812 in Washington County, Virginia16,17,18, daughter of William Hays and Elizabeth Unknown. She was born Bet. 1780 - 1784 in Virginia19,20, and died July 05, 1852 in Macon County, Missouri21.
Notes for Robert Wares: The Smyth County, Virginia Wills list shows a Robert Wares with an appraisal on June 15, 1832 (Page 1, Book A) and a Sale List on December 20, 1832 (Page 2, Book A). The Appraisal reveals that the Estate of Robert Wares (deceased) was ordered to be appraised by the County Court of Smyth, Virginia prior to the June 15, 1832 date. Barbary (Barbara) Wares, Administrator, produced the appraisal on June 15, 1832, which was filed by the court on December 20, 1832. The appraisal contained farm items, livestock, and household goods, which were valued at about $1,134.25. The Bill of Sale contains a list of items which were sold by the administrator, Barbary (Barbara) Wares on June 16, 1832. The listing reveals that Barbary Wares purchased $170.82 in goods and $182.50 in animals and goods. Since we now know that Barbary Wares is Robert's wife, Barbara Wares (1841 Macon Co., MO Deed between Barbara Wears and Samuel H. Wears), we know that Barbara purchased from her husband's estate sufficient furniture, livestock, and goods to continue to run the farm. DOD: I believe that Robert Wares died between February 23, 1832 and June 15, 1832. Robert was shown on the 1831 Washington County Tax records so he was alive in the Spring of 1831. Barbara Wares was shown on the 1832 Washington County Tax list, and the County Court of Smyth, VA (which was formed February 23, 1832 ordered the appraisal of Robert's Estate). Thus, he probably died between February 23, 1832 and June 15, 1832 (when the appraisal was completed).

In addition to Robert and Barbara Wares, there appears to be Nancy Gillespie (Barbara & William's daughter); William; Samuel H.; Mary Ann; and Minerva; two males born between 1812-1820. These could be additional children that need to be researched. Robert Wares Family was found living in Washington County, Virginia in 1830. Smyth County was formed February 23, 1832 from Washington and Wythe Counties. VA DEEDS: Washington Co., VA, Deed Book 9, pp.643-4 134 Acres on September 1828 Enoch McCarty of Washington County to Robert Wiers of same. Enoch executes a deed to Robert; no witnesses; signed by Enoch. Certificate of acknowledgment dated 20 September; recorded 23 September 1828. The land is located in Washington Co., VA in the Rich Valley. In Barbara (Hays) Gillespie, Wares Estate (#369A, July 21, 1852, Recorded Book B, Page 174-175, Macon Co., MO) was an Abstract of Title to certain negros.

Signed: Nancy Gallespy (Seal) Attest: Jacob Hays and Charles Hays. ROBERT WARES PARENTS: More research is needed to identify Robert Ware(s) parents. A connection between William Hays and the Wares family is one avenue of research. Barbara was living with her father just prior to marriage to Robert Wares. Also, Robert may have connected to Barbara during her first marriage. Areas to pursue are: Source: Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement of VA; V.2, pp 460-469 by Lyman Chalkley Page 276, --1760: Processioned in Capt. Moore's Company by John Stephson, Nathaniel Evins: For Nathaniel Evins, for Wm. McCreerey, for Thos. Willson, for John Stevenson, for John McClung, for Wm. McClung, for Alex.

This could be Robert Wares father since it is too early to be my Robert Wares, who was born bet. 1785-1790. 1810 Census: James Wear in Washington Co., VA - 45+ years, with a male 16-26 y.o. Provided by Barbara Vines Little, CG, P.O. Box 1273, Orange, VA 22960, bvlittle@earthlink.net: Analysis of other Wares, Wears, Etc. in the Tax Records of Wythe and Washington Co. No Wiers, Wares, etc. were in the Wythe Co., VA area prior to Robert's arrival in 1812, when he married Barbara. Washington Co., VA was checked from 1782 through 1821. There were NO males between 16 and 21 years old. Several WARES were found. It appears that they left the area before Robert appears because there are no probate records or appearences of widows in the tax lists. There is one that needs further research: John Wier, who apparently dies between 1814 and 1816 in Washington Co., VA. He appears in 1806 in the Upper District. He is probably the John Wier, who signed a deed with German script (but not confirmed to date). DNA analysis: See comparisons of WARE DNA, www.warefamilyhistory.com, "yDNA Results" The comparison shows that 44135, Wendell Ware, which is a line of decent from Samuel Ware and Elizabeth Daniel is the closest so far to 36416, Clyde Ray Wares, which is a line of descent from Robert Ware(s)/Wear(s) and Barbara (Hays) Gillespie.
More About Robert Wares:
Notes for Barbara Hays: The 1850 Census for Macon County, Missouri, shows a Rebecca Wares, who is 72 years old and born in Virginia. Rebecca is living with a 28 year old Samuel, who was also born in Virginia and is a farmer on property worth $1,000. Further, a review of the 1840 census for Jackson Township, Macon County, Missouri shows a Samuel Werc "Wears" next to William Wears and Richard T. Johnston. The 1840 census shows a woman about the age of Rebecca living with Samuel Wears. Both Samuel and William Wears (first 160 acres) purchased their government property in Macon County, Missouri on the same day, November 10, 1841. A review of their combined property reveals that the properties form a "7", and are surrounded by property purchased by Richard T. Johnston, husband of Mary (Wares) Johnston. I believe that Rebecca is a misreading of the name, Barbara. The 1850 Census is actually Barbara Wares, who came to Macon County, Missouri with her son(s) William and Samuel as well as her daughter, Mary, who married Richard T. Johnston in Virginia. A deed from the Macon County Courthouse in which property is exchanged from Barbara Wares to a Samuel H. Wares in Macon County, Missouri has been obtained and reveals a blood relationship between Barbara Wares and Samuel H. Wares (See Note that follows) Further, a Barbary Wares appears in the 1850 Census, Macon County, MO, District 52 Slave Schedule as a slave owner, who has several listed slaves. Barbary Wares is listed just above Joseph Daugherty. I was unable to find Barbary Wares in the 1850 Census, Macon County, MO, District 52. I believe the census in correctly shows Barbara, as "Rebecca". I was able to find Joseph Daugherty (Dority), whose son, Fountain Daugherty (Dority) was living nearby. The 1850 Census shows Barbara ("Rebecca") Wares living nearby Fountain Daugherty (Dority). Thus, the 1850 Census, Macon County, MO, District 52 incorrectly shows Barbara Wares as Rebecca. Also, Robert Fountain Wears names his seventh child, a daughter, Sofa Barbary Wares. William Wares named one of his daughters, Barbara Ellen Wares, probably after his mother. Further, Robert Fountain Wears (Wares) was named after William's father, Robert who died in 1832 in Smyth County, VA. TAX RECORDS VA: Barbara shows in the Washington Co., VA Tax List for 1832. Listed is 1-3-12, one tithe, 3 slaves over 12, and 12 horses. Barbary Wares is found on the 1838 Personal Tax List for Smyth County, Virginia as well as Richard T. Johnston, husband to Mary Ann (Wares) Johnston, and Henry Pratt, brother to Mary Ann (Pratt) Wares. Elizabeth Hays, Widowed mother to Barbara Hays. Charles Hays brother to Barbara Hays.
DEED - MO Macon County Recorder, Deeds Book A/B, Page 483, reveals that Barbara Wears, also identified as Barbary in the deed, transferred title to an 18 year old male slave named, Jack. The title was given to Samuel H. Wears in consideration of blood and natural affection, and $1.00 of lawful money. The date the deed was written was January 30, 1841. The deed was filed on July 7, 1841. This deed proves that Barbara Wears was the parent of Samuel H. Wears and that Barbara was also known as Barbary. The deed was signed with Barbara Wears mark, X. SLAVES 1850 CENSUS- Owner: Barbary Wares 1, 40 year old, female, black 1, 35 year old, male, black 1, 18 year old, male, black 1, 16 year old, female, black 1, 13 year old, male, black 1, 13 year old, female, black 1, 8 year old, female, black 1, 6 year old, female, black 1, 4 year old, male, black 1, 1 year old, female, black DOB: The date of birth was estimated based upon Barbara's first marriage in 1800 and the U.S. Census 1830, Washington Co., VA, Robert Wares, which showed Barbara to be between 40-50 years old. I am estimating her DOB to be from 1780 to 1784, which would make her between 16 and 20 years old for her first marriage (1800). DOD and Probate Proves Family Relationships: Barbary Wears, File #369A, July 5, 1852, Recorded Macon Co. Courthouse, Book B, Page 174-175 revealed that Barbary Wears died without a will. The Estate was administered by William Griffin (Son-in-Law) and husband to daughter Minerva Wears and Richard T. Johnston (son-in-law) and husband to daughter Mary Wears. The probate records includes a sworn statement by William Griffin and Richard Johnston that Barbary Wears heirs are:
Robert Gillespie (Boone Co., MO), son from first marriage On July 14, 1852, Barbary Wears property was inventoried and included 10 slaves. An abstract of Title dated September 20, 1828 was a part of the inventory and revealed that title for the slaves in Barbary Wears hands were relinquished to Robert Wears of Washington Co., VA for value received of him. The document was signed by Nancy Gillespie. It was witnessed by Jacob Hays and Charles Hays. On August 16, 1852 a sale was held of Barbary Wears property. Those purchasing an extensive inventory of goods include in part:
Samuel Wears Kegley, Mary B. Abstracts of Court Orders of Wythe County, VA, 1811-1820, Vol. Two (Wytheville, VA: Kegley Books, 1997): 9 August 1820 Nancy, orphan of William Gillespie, upwards of 14 years, chose James Hays guardian and Robert Gillespie chose Jacob Hays. Commissioners Esau Hyter, James and Evan Davis are to assign the dower to Barbara Miers (sic), widow of William Gillespie, deceased. NOTE: Since the orphans were chossing their own guardians, they were at least 14 years of age.
More About Barbara Hays:
Children of Robert Wares and Barbara Hays are: This unnamed male child appears in the Robert Wares household in 1820, in the category male, under 10 y.o. Also, in that category is brothers William and Samuel H. This child does not appear in the 1830 Census in Robert Wares household. This child is not mentioned as an heir in either Barbara Wares estate, (1852 in MO), or Samuel H. Wares (1859 in MO). Further, I believe this child died before reaching maturity, marriage, or children.
+ 3 ii. William Wares, Sr., born Abt. 1815 in Wythe Co., Virginia; died 1887 in Macon, Missouri.
Notes for Samuel H. Wares: According to Bureau of Land Management records, Samuel Wears filed paperwork on November 10, 1841 to obtain 160 acres of government land in Johnston Township. The document numbers were 21276, 21277, and 21275, and the property was in sections 29 and 32. These parcels of land were next to sections of land owned by William Wears and Richard T. Johnston. Samuel filed the papers for the land purchase on the same day as William Wears.
For Document Number 21276, Samuel paid $1.25 an acre for 40 acres in Section
32. NAME: Samuel used the name WEARS to purchase the government property. However, by the 1850 Census, Samuel spelled his last name WARES. SLAVES-MO: The 1840 Census shows that Samuel Wears had 11 slaves:
Males: Under 10: 2; 10-24: 2; 24-35: 1. DEATH/PROBATE: Macon County Courthouse revealed a document in which Richard T. Johnston swore before the court that Samuel H. Wares, who was deceased on March 10, 1859, died without a will. He also swore before the court that the heirs were:
Mary (Wares) Johnston (wife of R.T. Johnston); R.T. Johnston was required by the court to make an inventory of the deceased Samuel's estate, and pay any debts. Samuel H. Wares died without a will, and Richard T. Johnston posted a bond and was appointed as the administrator of the estate. The probate file can be located at the Macon County Courthouse, #367A, dated March 10, 1859. The original document filed by R.T. Johnston on March 10, 1859 only listed the WARES heirs. The final probate filed on June 26th, 1863 also listed the Gillespie children from Barbary Wears first marriage as well as the WARES children from the second marriage. Thus, Samuel's estate was allocated to his brother, and sisters and also to his step-brother, and step-sisters. DOB: The date of birth, 1820 is estimated based upon Barbary Wears transfer of a slave to Samuel H. in 1841. I am assuming that Samuel was 21 y.o. and the slave was given to him when he reached maturity. Thus, his DOB would be 1820. This is consistent with the Virginia census reports listing of male children. DOD: Samuel H. Wares died when he was only about 39 years old. He apparently was never married, and had no children. He probably either died of an accident, or one of the many epidemics that occurred. MIDDLE NAME: The middle initial "H" is used in the family frequently. It would be interesting to find out if the initial was for Barbara Hays family name, HAYS.
More About Samuel H. Wares: 7 vi. Male B. Wares32, born Bet. 1826 - 1830 in Washington Co., Virginia32,33; died Bet. 1830 - 1838 in Washington or Smyth Co., Virginia.
Notes for Male B. Wares: This child does not appear in the Wares household, in Missouri. This child is not mentioned as an heir in either Barbara Wares estate, (1852 in MO), or Samuel H. Wares (1859 in MO). Further, I believe this child died before reaching maturity, marriage, or children. I believe that this child died before the migration from VA to MO. He possibily could have died in 1831, or 32 along with his father (if this is the youngest child of Robert and Barbara Wares). This male child could be a grandchild, who was staying in the Robert Wares household at the time of the census. Elizabeth (Gillespie) Hays and Nancy (Gillespie) McCarty had male children in this age category. The census reports for both these household E. Hays and N. McCarty in 1830 need to be developed to determine if their sons are accounted for during 1830 census. Generation No. 2 3. William3 Wares, Sr. (Robert2, Unknown1 Wear)34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46 was born Abt. 1815 in Wythe Co., Virginia47,48,49,50, and died 1887 in Macon, Missouri51. He married (1) Mary Ann Pratt52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61 Bet. 1832 - 1834 in Virginia62, daughter of Oliver Pratt and Mary Fulks. She was born Bet. 1817 - 1819 in Smyth County (Formerly Washington County), Virginia63,64, and died 1873 in Macon, Missouri65. He married (2) Mrs. Jane D. Morris66 Aft. 187366. She was born 1833 in Canada66.
Notes for William Wares, Sr.: There is some confusion about William Wares, Sr.'s date of birth. Census reports identify his age, upon which his DOB was estimated, as being between 1812 and 1815. However, the "History of Macon County", 1910 shows his DOB as 1822. Bureau of Land Management records signed under oath by William Wares reveals his age to be 40 years old on December 22, 1855. Thus, William's date of birth is probably 1815. POLITICAL: The "History of Macon County", 1910, reveals that William Wares, Sr. ". . . was a Democrat of the most pronounced type in his political faith and allegiance." BIOGRAPHICAL: (Provided by Carol Shoot, mbti@insightbb.com) "History of Macon County, 1910", pages 719-721, AUGUSTUS WARES, revealed the following information about WILLIAM WARES, father of Augustus Wares: "...William Wares was born in the town of Pratt, Roane County, in what was then Virginia in 1822. He came to Missouri in a very early time and located on a tract of government land of 160 acres in Johnson township, Macon county, where he passed the remainder of his life farming and raising live stock extensively and profitably. His death occurred in 1887, after nearly, or quite, fifty years of usefulness in this portion of the country. When he came here the Indians still inhabited this section, and while they were in the main not unfriendly to the whites, they sometimes resented the intrusion of the latter into what they considered their rightful domain, and became troublesome. The wild beasts of the forests and plains were also still numerous, and their enmity to the new comers was as pronounced and often as deadly as that of their long-time masters, the red men of the wilderness. The elder Mr. Wares was a Democrat of the most pronounced type in his political faith and allegiance, and in religious connection belonged to the Missionary Baptist church. He was married in West Virginia to Miss Mary Pratt, a native, like himself, of Virginia. They had eight children, but four of whom are living. They are: Robert, who dwells in the new state of Oklahoma; Richard, an esteemed resident of Macon county; Augustus, who is the immediate subject of this review; and Ellen, the wife of Ralph Zents, whose home is at Brashear, Adair county, Missouri. The wife and mother died in this county in 1873." NOTE: I believe the DOB and the location of William Wares birth is incorrect. I have found no evidence that William's family was ever in Pratt, Roane Co., Virginia. I do believe that he was born in VA, Wythe Co., at this time. Further, as shown in the note on DOB, William was not born in 1822. MISSOURI GOVERNMENT LAND: Based upon the Bureau of Land Management records, on November 10, 1841, William Wears purchased the following land under the April 24, 1820 act, Sale-Cash Entry:
Document number: 21274, Land Office: Palmyra, 40 acres; National Archives
Trust Fund records reveal that William paid $1.25 an acre, $50, on October
4, 1839. The Bureau of Land Management records further revealed that on September 1, 1856, William Wares purchased an additional 40 acres of land under the same Sale-Cash Entry Act. Document Number: 32690, Land Office: Palmyra. National Archieves Trust Fund records show that William paid $.75 an acre, $30. The file also shows that William had a wife and seven children at the time of the purchase on December 22, 1855. On that date, William signed an affidavit showing his age to be 40. Thus, his date of birth is 1815. William also revealed in his sworn statement that on December 22, 1855, he had 80 acres of land under cultivation. He also certified that a dwelling house, kitchen, smoke house, stable, and corn crib existed on the farm. In addition, the Bureau of Land Management records shows that on September 1, 1856, Richard T. Johnston, husband of Mary Ann (Wares) Johnston, filed paperwork at the Palmyra Land Office as Patentee for 240 acres in Johnston Township, Sections 20 & 29. The final certificate, however, was issued to William Wares. The "LaPlata Missouri and Area, Sesquicentennial, 1855-2005", by The Friends for La Plata Preservation, page 98, gives the history of Johnston Township, Township 60 North, Range 13 West. This article states that Johnston is the smallest township in Macon County, containing around 18 Square miles. It was reorganized in 1872 and was named in honor of Col. Richard Johnston (AKA: Richart T. Johnston). Col. Johnston came to Macon County in 1838 from Virginia, and settled on the present day site of Sue City. Other early settlers were Logan Thompson, WILLIAM WARES, Thomas Easley, George Billings, Joshua Davis, Peter Talbot, William Lee, William Kelly, Lacy Snow, John J. Powell, Charles Johnston, Stephen Bradford, Joseph Spencer, Frank Spencer, William Borrow, Sr., Lon Ray, Elijah Turner, and J.M. Collins. Nearly all of these men settled close to the town of Sue City. ADDITIONAL MISSOURI LAND RECORDS: On February 2, 1872, William and Mary Ann Wares sold ten acres of land in Macon County, Missouri, to E. Dickinson, of La Salle, Illinois, for $160. (Macon County Deeds, Vol. 16, Page 380, Reel, C4154) On August 30, 1872, William and Mary Ann Wares completed a Trust Deed in Sue City, Missouri. The Trust Deed reveals that William and Mary purchased ten acres of land from James Johnston. The record was filed in Macon City, Macon County, Missouri. The document reveals that William purchased the land for $2,090., which was to be paid in twelve months from the date of purchase, with ten percent interest being paid each year until the total amount was paid. ( Macon County Deeds, Vol. 15, Page 184, Reel, C4153) On December 23, 1873, William Wares, without his wife, transferred a large portion of his Macon County land to his son, William H. Wares for the sum of his natural love and affection, plus $2.00. (Macon County Deeds, Vol. 18, Page 92, Reel, C4155). Further, an 1875 Land Atlas reveals that in 1875, William Wares had 200 acres of land in Johnson Township (Sections 19 and 20). Next to William, William H. Wares, Jr. had 40 acres in Section 20. Just south of William H. Wares, Samuel Wares had 160 acres in section 29. There were three other Wares people who had land shown in the 1875 Atlas--W. Wares, 15 acres in Section 30; R. Wares, 20 acres in Section 30; and S. Wares, 40 acres in Section 31. CHURCH: According to Laura Bohn, William and Mary Wares as well as Samuel and his wife were members of the Sue City Baptist Church. MISSOURI COUSINS (by A. Maxim Coppage III), pages 86-87. "The Early Settlement of Macon County and the Lives of the Pioneers" by Rev. John Peyton, published in the "Democrat", 1 Feb. 1884 and reprinted (excerpted by the compiler for this book). ". . . The first road in the county may have been the trace from Oak-Dale in Shelby County to Liberty in Clay County. It passed through Woodville and Elias Holiday was the first postmaster. In 1837, John Peyton took a letter from Elias Holiday to D.C. Hubbard, County Clerk, asking for a license to sell goods. At that time there were but three settlements between Centerville and Bloomington: viz. Isham Walker, a Mr. Allen, living where Macon is located and Isaac Goodling. Among the first settlers of Middle Fork Township, were Ambrose Halburton; William H. Rowland; Eben Enyart; Burrell Freeman; William Ware; Judge Rowland and A.C. Peyton and family - including John, Benjamin Robuck and James Rowland. They were among the first settlers. Land hunters came in fast after the county was organized, and the settlers took great pleasure in helping them to get started in a new location. . . .Bed steads were made by boring auger holes in the logs of the house and inserting poles in them, the other end resting on legs. The slats were common oak boards. More About William Wares, Sr.: Religion: Missionary Baptist Church67
Notes for Mary Ann Pratt: PARENTS: I have assumed that Mary "Polly" Ann Pratt is the unidentified daughter of Oliver Pratt and Mary "Polly" Fulks, who were married in Washington County, Virginia. Mary's date of birth range based upon Missouri Census reports matches the proper period, and gaps between the known children. Further, the WARE family has also been documented in the same location at about the same time as the Oliver Pratt Family. Robert Wares and widow: Barbara (Hays) Gilispie (Parents of William Wares) were married in Washington County, VA on April 19, 1812. The Pratt's (Oliver and Mary "Polly" Fulks were also married in Washington County, VA on July 5, 1810. Both were married by the same minister, Nicholas Reagan. Further, Tax and Probate records have identified the WARES and PRATT families in Smyth County, VA. Smyth County was established in 1832 from Washington and Wythe Counties in VA.

She married Col. Richard Theodore Johnston101,102,103,104,105,106 March 14, 1837 in Smyth County, Virginia107,108,109,110, son of Isaac Johnston and Elizabeth Payne. He was born January 20, 1796 in Virginia111,112, and died September 08, 1866 in Macon, Missouri112.
Notes for Mary Ann Wares: Mary Ann Wares is a sister to William Wares, and a daughter to Barbara (Rebecca) Wares. The listing of graves in the Sue City Cemetery, Section 35, shows Mary A. Johnston, DOB: December 20, 1815, DOD: March 17, 1894. The listing also reveals that Mary A. Johnston's maiden name was WARES. The 1850 Census shows Mary living with her husband, Richard T. Johnson (Johnston) in the same city, county, and state as William Wares in 1850--52nd District, Bening, Macon County, Missouri. The 1850 census also shows that Mary must have married Richard in Virginia. Mary and Richard were both born in Virginia, and their first two children were also born in Virginia. The third child, James, was born in Missouri and was 11 years old in 1850. Thus, Mary and Richard as well as their first two children came to Missouri about 1838/39. Documentation has been obtained that shows Mary "Polly" Wears married Richard Johnson (Johnston) in Smyth County, Virginia. Tax records reveal that Richard T. Johnston and Barbary Wares paid taxes in 1838 in Smyth County, Virginia. Evidence also reveals that Mary Ann Wares was probably born in Smyth County, Virginia. Further, William Wares' son Samuel married a child of Roswell Kemp Collins and Virlinda Jane Johnston (sister to Richard T. Johnston). WIDOW: Mary Ann Johnston became a widow in 1866. She then lived with her son James Johnston. The 1870 U.S. Census shows Mary living with James as well as Augusta (brother to James) and Richard (brother to James). Mary was also living with James as shown in the 1880 U.S. Census.

I believe this is strong evidence that they were related and cooperated in the management of their farms. The 1860 U.S. Census, Macon County, East Liberty Township, MO shows that Richard Johnston's Real Estate Value is $41,000, and his Personal Estate Value is $24,000. "La Plata Missouri and Area, Sesquicentennial 1855-2005", by The Friends for La Plata Preservation, page 98, reveals that the Johston Township was named in honor of Col. Richard Johnston, who came to Macon County in 1838 from Virginia and settled on the present day site of Sue City. VIRGINIA Smyth County, Virginia records reveal that Polly Wears and Richard Johnson were married on March 14, 1837. Smyth County, Virginia, 1838 Personal Property Tax List shows that Richard T. Johnston had two slaves over 16 years of age, and 9 horses. He paid $7.32 in tax. The same tax list shows a Henry Pratt in Smyth. The 1838 Personal Property Tax list also shows a Barbary Wares, who owned 1 slave under 16 years, 2 over 16 years, and seven horses. She paid $1.46 in Tax. Barbary Wares is Robert Wares widow, and administrator of the disposition of his estate. Barbary and Robert Wares are the parents of William, Mary, and Samuel. Smyth County, Virginia Wills shows a Robert Wares with an appraisal on June 15, 1832 ( Page 1, Book A), and a Sale List on December 20, 1832 ( Page 2, Book A). T SLAVES, MO The 1840 Census shows that Richard T. Johnston had 9 slaves:
Males: Under 10: 1; 10-24: 2; 24-35: 1. OCCUPATION: According to Laura Bohn, Richard T. Johnston was a slave trader and land speculator in Virginia. In Macon County, Missouri, he was a livestock trader. PROBATE RECORD: Howard County, Missouri filed October 6, 1866, Book 6, Pages 191-193 and 200. The will states the children and the first and second wives. CIVIL WAR According to the "Johnston family History" , page 296 of "LaPlata Missouri and Area", Dick Johnston was a Southern sympathizer. He was appointed to a resolution committee to support Gov. C. F. Jackson in his refusal to furnish troops to President Lincoln for the Union Army.

Under the notes section of the cemetery listing, it reveals that Augusta is a son to Mary A. (Wares) Johnston. The 1860 and 1870 census shows Augusta as a female. I believe the cemetery information is the most accurate. Thus, I am listing this child as a male.

Notes for Capt. William Griffin: In 1840-1842, Capt. Griffin was elected to the Legislature. At that time, he not only represented the present territory of Macon, but Adair, Schuyler and parts of Knox, Putnam and Scotland counties, and a portion of Iowa that was then claimed by Missouri. It was through his influence that Adair County was organized as soon as it was. A candidate for office at that day had to traverse all this country, and could only tell settlements by the dead timber; hence the phrase "dealing the timber", when a person is prospecting for office. In 1844, Capt. Griffin was elected a member of the county court, and served one term. He was a member of the Missionary Baptist Church for about forty years.

Notes for Robert Fountain Wares: MARRIAGE: Macon County, Marriage Records, Groom's Name: Waller-Wilshir, shows that Robert Wear married Elizabeth Daugherty on June 26, 1854. The marriage is documented in Book B, Page 9. It is assumed that Robert married Hannah Young and Mary E. Catlin in Oklahoma because Robert WEARE appears in the Oklahoma State Census, 1890, as a single boarder in Oklahoma City, page 541. The census was taken June 17, 1890. Robert reports that he came to Oklahoma 4 months ago, which would be about February 1890. MISSOURI LAND: Bureau of Land Management records reveal that Robert Wares, of Knox County, completed paperwork to obtain 80 acres of land in Johnston Township, Section 20.

MISSOURI MILITIA - February 10, 1865: "La Plata Missouri and Area Sesquicentennial 1855-2005", by The Friends for La Plata Preservation, 2004, page 172-173 reveals the muster-in-roll of Captain Henry O. Clark, organized under an Act approved February 10, 1865. At the close of the Civil War there was a Company formed at LaPlata (as there probably was in each town in the State), for the purpose of enforcing law and order, and suppressing the disorder, which so often follows a war. This Military Company was formed of men of both Northern and Southern sympathies who desired harmony in their locality. On that roster were the following WARES: NAME Rank Age Ht.
