“The persons named are those who came to Huron and Yellow Springs townships prior to 1840.  About 1840 settlers came in swarms as it were.  We can give the names of only a few of them… The Wares came in 1843.  Frederick Ware came in 1843, when he was eighty years old.  He had two sons, John and Mathias.  John came one year before his father,  Mathias with his father.  All the old settlers remember the tavern kept by ‘Matty Ware’ on the Wauella Road.”
