17th-century Irish antiquary, historian and politician.
From A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Landed Gentry, Vol. IV (John Burke, Esq., 1838), p. 497:
"Sir James Ware, in his will, had directed that his body should be deposited under the tombstone in St. Werberg's church, Dublin, where his father, mother, wife, and some of his children lay buried. This was done in the most unostentatious manner; neither stone nor monumental inscription marking the place where his remains are interred. 'But he had taken care,' remarked his biographer, 'to erect a monument for himself by his labours, more lasting than any mouldering materials.'"
His image may be viewed at the Ulster Museum and the National Portrait Gallery, London.
