From Recollections of the Early Settlers of Montgomery, County, Alabama - 1892
"Dr. Robert J. Ware settled in the Fork about the year 1825. He was a rich, talented young bachelor, a practicing physician, a large planter, politician and prominent member of the Baptist church. Dr. Ware was a good citizen and neighbor, and was very charitable with his means; he never hesitated for a moment to extend a helping hand to the needy or distressed. He lived a bachelor for several years and then married a Miss White from Mobile. He built a splendid residence on one of these tables above the river, and was surrounded with every comfort and convenience for country life. He had a park, stocked with deer, the only one ever seen by the writer. He belonged to the old Whig party, and was very popular. He was the second man from the Fork that represented Montgomery county in the Legislature. Dr. Ware had three children, two sons and one daughter. Robert Y., James and Mary were the names of the children. Robert married a Miss Molton, James married a Miss Stokes, the daughter married T. J. Molten, a young lawyer. The Dr. lived in the Fork a number of years and then moved to the city and had a fine brick residence there, where he lived the remaining years of his life."

“Robert J. Ware came to the county in the year 1822. HE was a native of Lincoln county, Georgia, and his mother was a Miss Stokes. His parents were wealthy, and his early advantages were very good. He became a physician and planter and rapidly acquired property here. He entered public life as a representative of the county in the legislature in 1832, and served as a member of one house or the other for seven years. He was a man of wondrous energy, tact, and practical knowledge, possessing singular magnetism and influence over men. He was very successful in business, and accumulated a large estate. He died in 1867, leaving many relatives and descendants in the county.”
