I too have a Henry Greenberry Ware in my family.
Was wondering about it to be a last name on the
line somewhere. Thank you for any information
at all. Was the person that put the query about
the soldier please write to me as I would like
to know. Also what kind of nationality would
it be if it was. I might be starting something
here That someone won't like for that I am sorry.
Thank you,
Gloria
