L. M. Ware

That portion of St. Andrews taking in Buena Vista Point, was entered by Richard H. Long, and patented to him as Lot 4, fractional section 1, Township 4 south, Range 15 west, on Sept. 1st, 1846. This tract was sold for taxes and a tax deed was issued to Thomas Hannah for the same, dated October 7th, 1875. In 1880 he sold this property to L. M. Ware and A. Ludwig, the latter coming here with Captain Ware on his 20 foot sloop that the latter started in from his Maryland home, in 1878, to go to St. Andrews Bay, a place he had visited while engaged on the Coast Survey boat Gedney. En route he spent one winter at St. Augustine, then came here. He bought out Ludwig’s interest in the land and platted that portion of our present city now known as Ware’s Point.
