(NOTE: A few years later Tuckahoe Creek was to become the dividing line between Goochl and and Henrico Counties.

Patent Book 12, Henrico County, VA. VALENTINE WARE, of King and Queen Cty, 167 acs. ( Lapsed L) Henrico County; N. side of the James River; in a gr. fork of Tuckahoe Creek, adj. l and of Mr. Clark & Russell; 10 Dec 1734, page 122, Granted Richard Cox 16 Aug 1715, upon cond ition of seating and planting, which he failed to do; now granted, & a. 20 shill.

Peter Ware, c1706, was the son of Valentine Ware, Jr. In his will dated 1741, we learn he had previously received 214 plus acres on Tuckahoe Creek in Goochland Co., VA from his father, which he then wills to his brother Henry (John Ware, possibly his brother, to be one of his executors). There are two land patents by Valentine Ware, Jr. which can be seen on-line at the Virginia State Library Archives showing he patented a total of 429 acres in Tuckahoe Creek (Patent 11, pg. 203, dated 9/5/1723 by Valentine Ware in Henrico Co., 262 acres in the fork of Tuckahoe creek on the north side of the James River; and Patent 12, pg. 122, dated 12/10/1724 by Valentine Ware in Henrico Co., 167 acres on the north side of the James River, in a great fork of Tuckahoe Creek). By dividing 429, you have 214 plus acres, the amount each brother received from their father, Valentine Ware, Jr.

His son John married Mary Watson and lived on land he received from his father in Seven Islands, Fluvanna Co. (previously Goochland Co.) until his death.

Peter's daughter Jane married Robert Hunter, a deed found in Clarke Co., GA shows that John Hunter of Guilford Co., NC in 1777 leaves a deed of gift to his grandchildren, named in the deed are: Nancy Ware, John Ware, Pauline Ware, Jane Ware, Samuel Scott Ware, Alexander Harrison, Rachel Ware Hunter and John Ware Hunter. From this it appears Henry Ware, Judith's brother, married Nancy Hunter and had Nancy, John, Pauline, Jane and Samuel Scott. Nancy was named after his wife, John after his brother, Pauline after his half-sister (Pauline Jordan who married John Cabell), Jane after his sister, and Samuel Scott Ware after his stepfather, Samuel Jordan, and of course his mother's maiden name. Jane named her children Rachel Ware Hunter, most likely after Robert's mother, and John Ware Hunter after his father.

According to "Old Churches, Ministers, and Families of Virginia", by Bishop Meade, Page 376, Article XXXIII. The following list of vestrymen in Stratton Major Parish, commencing in 1739, will show who were the leading men in all the civil and ecclesiastical matters of the parish and county: Richard Roy, Richard Johnson, Henry Hickman, Edward Ware, Thomas Foster, Thomas Dudley, John Collier, Gawin Corbin, Valentine Ware, Roger Gregory, Richard Anderson, John Robinson, Benjamin Needler, Robert Dudley, John Livingston, Robert Gaines, Philip Roots, John Ware, Richard Shackleford, William Taliafero, John Strakey, William Lyne, Charles Collier, Thomas Thorpe, Thomas Langford, John Shackleford, John Foster, Philip Roots, Francis Gaines, John Whiting, Thomas Reade Roots, John Whiting, James Prior, Thomas Dillard, Lyne Shackleford, Hon.
