His father, Samuel Ware, a native of Hanover County, Va., was born about 1808, and was a farmer by occupation. He came to Kentucky in 1812 with his parents, who settled on a farm near Kiddville, but in Montgomery County, where he was reared.

In 1868 he removed to Pike County, Ill., where he died in 1870.

Debby, Thank you for e-mailing me back. You are the first person I have made contact with since I started tracing my roots. Let me explain a little of what I know and it's most of what my grandfather can remember. My line comes from Dudley Flynn 1823-1881 he married Martha Ann Wills, her father was John P. Wills. They had a son. John Franklin Flynn he married Evelyn Rupard. John Franklin Flynn had some Brother and Sisters: Lewis, Ben, Rachel, Rebecca, James S. , Fielding. John Franklin Flynn son was Porter Flynn (died 1953) which was my great grandfather, he married Oaky Bentley from Madison Co. My grand father has several pics. of the family, all the way back to John Franklin Flynn and I think a large pic of the JFF that was married to Evelyn Rupard. The Flynn graveyard is located on Ecton Rd. I know one of the John F. Flynn's is there, but I am not sure which one. Lucinda Flynn wife of John Flynn died July 6 1852. Caleb Flynn b. Oct. 20 1802 d. June 12 1836. Mason Flynn b. Dec. 15, 1825 d. Apr. 5, 1853. Ramsey Flynn
