Amherst County, Virginia - 1864 Pedlar Mills, Horsley's Creek., Crawford's Gap, Ware's Gap area Library of Congress, Geography and Map Division, Washington, D.C. Map of Amherst County, mid-19th century. The Court House on the right of the map. From the Court House a road leads southwest, crossing Tobacco Row Mountain at Ware's Gap, proceeding through Crawford's Gap, crossing Horsleys Creek and Pedlar River at Pedlar Mills. The road then intersects with the Indian Grave Gap road, and ends at Waugh's Ferry on the James River. Waugh's Ferry was used frequently as a crossing point on the James River for early migrations to the southwest Capt.James Ware & Nancy Garland Pendleton by Teta Eubank Wagner Capt. James Ware was born December 25, 1778 in Amherst County, Virginia. James is referred to in several records as Capt. James Ware. He was the son of Capt. John Ware an officer in the Revolutionary War. James' mother is identified by research only as Elizabeth, her surname has not been identified. Her surname may be Taliaferro. By the naming pattern of the children, she may be of the Dabney, Dudley, Anderson, or Mansfield family. Nancy Garland Pendleton was born September 2, 1786, in Amherst County, Virginia, the daughter of Reubin Pendleton and Frances Maria Anna Garland. James and Nancy married in Amherst, December 18, 1800, five days after bond was posted by James Garland, Nancy's uncle. Consent was given James to marry by his father John Ware, and consent given Nancy by her father, Reuben Pendleton. They may have married at St. Mark's Episcopal Church, which was built as New Glasgow Church in 1793. The land for the church was donated by David Shepherd Garland, Nancy's uncle. On July 16,1808 a surveyor's bond was posted for James in the Amherst County Court by Reuben Pendleton, David Tinsley, and Nicholas Harrison. James was thirty years old and Nancy twenty-two. *1810 Census* By 1810 five of the Ware children had been born: Mansfield Ware and Mary Camden Ware, who married Richard Newman Eubank, Reuben S. Ware John D. Ware and James D. Ware. William A. Ware Ann Ware, and Edward Ware. They were born during the first twenty years of the 1800's. During this time the Ware home saw more and more travelers stopping to rest for a night or two before continuing on their journeys across the Blue Ridge and the James River on their way toward the old southwest, Tennessee, Kentucky or Ohio. James enlarged the home to accommodate additional lodgers, and obtained an innkeeper's certificate, as was required by law in owning and managing an inn. The inn was also a social hub for the many neighboring farmers, tradesmen, lawyers, speculators, and horsemen. The Ware's tavern and stagecoach inn would have surely been welcome respite for weary travelers. Gustavis A.Ware, Garland P. Ware, and Micajah P. Ware were born between 1817 and 1822. Nancy's uncle James Garland posted bond on February 21, 1814, for James' first certification to " keep an Ordinary at his home." During the next few years, James' innkeeper's certificate was renewed every three years. On July 21, 1817, bondsman was Richard Harrison; on May 15, 1820, bondsman was Bennett A. Crawford; and the last bond posted on record for the inn was on June 17, 1823. Indications are that the inn was built of brick and located either at the intersection of two major county roads at Ware's Gap, or near intersecting roads at the community of Pedlar Mills. *James Ware Inn and Tavern Account - 1820* At left is James Ware's account sheet with Thomas Eubank, Junr., May through November of 1820. This Thomas Eubank is likely George and Delilah Eubank's son. This copy of an account sheet was among those Eubank original records saved through many years by the descendants of George Eubank and Delilah Williams, early residents of Amherst. The records were shared with us by Mrs. Sally Eubank of Amherst County, and great-great-granddaughter of George and Delilah Eubank. George and Delilah moved from Caroline County to Amherst County in 1780/81 with George's brother John and his family. George died in Amherst in 1828. Delilah died some years later according to a letter written by their son Ambrose Bullard Eubank. James and Nancy's family entries on the1820 Amherst census showed an extensive household of 39 individuals. Six household members involved in commerce, one in manufacturing, and fifteen servants to help in the operation of the inn. Nancy died on September 14, 1825, in her thirty-ninth year. She had given birth to Elizabeth Frances on the previous January 9th, and the infant had died five months later on May 29. As the last three-year certification bond for the operation of the inn was posted in 1823, James may have discontinued operation of the inn due to the loss of his wife. The newspaper at Lynchburg, The Lynchburg Virginian, announced the death of Mrs. Nancy Ware and that funeral services were held at the Episcopal church at Pedlar Mills. At right is Nancy's grave marker. She is buried near Pedlar Mills. Grave marker of Mrs. Nancy Pendleton Ware, wife of Capt James Ware In the August 13, 1829 edition, The Lynchburg Virginian carried an announcement of Capt. James Ware's marriage to the daughter of the late George Eubank, Miss Lucy Eubank. The marriage was performed by the Rev. Charles H. Page. The announcement also mentioned George Eubank had died the previous year at age eighty-two. He was born in 1746. They were all of Amherst. James Ware gave his daughter Mary Camden Ware a "house and lot near Pedlar." On October 1, 1829, Mary agreed to release her dower to the house and lot for a $5.00 consideration, and other property. Witnesses to the deed were Wm. E. J. Eubank and Jonathan E. Sanderson. James Ware died on October 12, 1832. There is mention of the death of sister Lucy in a letter from her brother, Ambrose Bullard Eubank, written from Nacogdoches, Texas, in 1859, but no date of her death. MANSFIELD WARE - Mansfield was the oldest child, born February 19, 1802. In Amherst County, on June 21, 1819, at age 17, his uncle Dabney Ware posted a Constable's bond for Mansfield, and again on March 17, 1823. Another was posted on June 16 of the same year by James Fulcher. On June 3, 1824, Mansfield and Susan Pettus Franklin were married in Amherst County. By 1830 Mansfield and Susan had moved to Haywood County, Tennessee. They had two children in 1830, a boy and girl, both under five years. In 1840 they had five children, and listed four slaves. Indications in Amherst County records indicate Mansfield probably inherited the inn. An adjoining house and lot were conveyed to Mansfield by Richard N. Eubank, Mary C. Ware "relinguishing her dower to the lot at Pedlar." According to the 1850 Mortality Index of Haywood County, Mansfield was a Trader by occupation. He died September 1, 1850 at age 48. (This date according to the Eubank/Ware Family Bible.) REUBEN SELDON WARE - Reuben was born April 17, 1805. He was married to a young lady named Elizabeth in Virginia about 1826/27. Their child John G. was born in Virginia in 1828. By 1830 Reuben and Elizabeth had moved to Wisconsin. Their son Theodore was born there in 1831, Virginia in 1834, and William in 1846. In 1850 the family was living in Lafayette County, Wisconsin, and Reuben is a miner in a town called New Diggings. Reuben's brother, James D. Ware, a planter of Hinds County, who died on January 1, 1854, by instructions in his will left the sum of "$3,000 to be paid Jonah Marvin, Esq., as trustee, to be invested by said Marvin in the purchase of a house for my said brother's family." In1860, a Theodore Ware is living in Downieville, Sierra, California. He is 28 years old, unmarried. In 1880 Theodore is living in Butte, Sierra, California, is 47, and lives alone. JOHN D. WARE - John D. was born December 1, 1807. John was 22 when he became a constable in Amherst County in 1829. The bond was signed by John Penn and R.N. Eubank on March 16. Again on June 15, 1829, bondsmen R.N. Eubank and Dabney Sandidge signed the bond. A third constable's bond was posted on June 20, 1831, R. N. Eubank and William H. Garland were bondsmen. JAMES D.WARE - James D. was born September 2, 1809 at the family home near Pedlar Mills, Amherst County, Virginia. In the 1830's he moved to Mississippi at the time his sister Mary C. Eubank, her husband Richard N. Eubank, and family moved there, first to Madison and then to Hinds County. In 1843, James D. became trustee for his sister Mary C. Eubank, by a document dated April 15, 1843, protecting her dower interests. On the 1850 censuses of Hinds County, Mississippi, he was a prosperous planter, owning 52 slaves, with real estate value listed as $12,000. His brother Micajah Pendleton Ware was either living or visiting in his home. James wrote his will in November, 1853. Probate was in February, 1854. James never married. He was affectionate and protective always of his brothers and sisters, and his generosity toward them, and several friends, is defined by the words in his will. James D. Ware's Will, Hinds County, Mississippi, in feeble health. (1) All my negroes, stocks, "my Tinnen tract of land," land on Pearl River occupied at present by my brother, M. Pendleton Ware, to be sold for best interest of the estate. (2) Little tract on Society Ridge, bought of Dr. J. A. Cotton, I bequeath to my friend, Abram Owens, of Hinds County, as a home for himself and family. (3) The interest I claim in the Brunswick Landing Tract of land on the Mississippi River which has been in litigation in Chancery Court of Miss. at Jackson for some years, I bequeath to my friend Burr Garland, if anything should be recovered from said suit. (4) To Dr. Micajah Pendleton's two daughters, Susan and Sarah, living in Rockbridge County, Virginia, I bequeath a debt due me from their father of $1,000, it being a draft Dr. Pendleton drew on me. This amount I desire him to pay the two girls without interest in the lifetime of the Doctor, if he should feel able to do so; if not, to be paid them from his estate after his death. (5) The children of Col. William H. Garland, of New Orleans, by my late niece, Frances Ann Eubank, I bequeath the amount of the debts due me from their father amounting to $2,000. (6) To each of the children of my deceased brother, Dr. William A. Ware, I give the sum of $100, which I desire be invested by my executors in some suitable memento as a token of my affectionate regard for them. The large amount of property they will in all probability receive from their mother makes it unnecessary for me to do more for them. [Mrs. Margaret Ware was the daughter of Governor Charles Lynch of Mississippi.] (8) (sic) To my brother M. Pendleton Ware of Hinds County, Mississippi, $5,000 from the first cash after my debts are paid, to enable him to engage in some commercial business in Brownsville, Tennessee, to which place I so earnestly advise him to remove and settle for life. (9) To the little son of my deceased brother, A. H. Ware (sic)[Adolphus H. Ware], living in the County of Madison, and for whom I am now guardian, I give $1,000. (10) To my brother Garland P. Ware, of Louisiana, my gold watch in token of my affectionate regard for him. He does not, I am sure, desire more of me. (11) To my brother K.S. Ware (sic) [Reuben Seldon Ware] of the state of Wisconsin, $3,000 to be paid Jonah Marvin, Esq., as trustee, to be invested by said Marvin in the purchase of a house for my said brother and his family. (12) To my affectionate sister, Mrs. Mary Eubank, of Hinds County, I bequeath the whole amount of the debt due me from her husband, also $8,000. (13) To my affectionate sister, Mrs. Ann Peebles, of Brownsville, Tennessee, $7,000 and the proceeds to the children of my sister, Ann Peebles, including Sarah, the half-sister as one of them; and a third for Virginia Eubank, Cornelia Eubank, and Ada Eubank, youngest daughters of Mrs. Mary Eubank, and to the orphan child of my friend Harvey Stewart [Harvey is the son of William H. Stewart and Margaret N. Eubank], to share alike. (14) John D. Ware and M.N. Eubanks (sic) [Richard N. Eubank, Mary's husband], Executors. Signed: James D. Ware, Nov.18, 1853. Probated Feb. 1854.
