William Ware and Betsy had nine children, including the two from his former marriage. In 1844, with his family, he pushed further westward, into Kaufman County, remaining there until 1849, when he again loaded his family into ox wagons and headed South. They spent the first winter on York's Creek, twelve miles southeast of New Braunfels, and there on December 20, 1849, his wife Betsy Ann, died. Betsy Ann left seven children to be brought up by Aunt Mima Fuller, the colored servant.
Not wishing to risk the continued journey westward for a while, Ware purchased a farm on the Cibolo, next to William Davenport's Settlement. The 1850 census showed him and his family in Cibilo (along with Narcissy, John, and Ambrose Crane, siblings of his widow, Betsy Ann Crane, who apparently were to be raised by Betsy following their mother's death, Mary DeLozier Crane, in August of 1849).
William Ware moved again, following the Sabinal River to Sabinal Canyon and on August 17, 1852, made the first permanent white settlement between D'hanis and the Rio Grande. He died seven months later, when his work was only begun, on March 9, 1853.
