- Description:
- The Ware Family Papers give a vivid look at life in rural West Georgia and constitute a valuable roster of Heard County residents, where most official records prior to 1900 have been lost to fire. These papers are largely related to the plantation and tannery accounts of James Britton Ware, Lucy Sturdivant Ware, and the estate of John Mims Ware between 1831 and 1910. The thirty-two ledgers include one from Edgefield County, South Carolina, with accounts of Henry Ware, Jr. dated 1800 to 1801. Some of the ledgers have miscellaneous items and clippings relating to the Ware family, their friends, or the service of different family members at all levels of state and local government from 1831 to 1916. The majority of the ledgers contain financial records of the plantation and business. These papers were donated by J. Crawford Ware of Hogansville, Georgia State Representative of the 37th district.
