  Gender	Male
  Anecdote	The following is from Ware Genealogy: One of the settlers, 1671, of Wollonionopoag, incorporated as Wrentham 1673. In March, 1675-6, the town was deserted by the settlers, who took refuge from the Indians in Dedham and elsewhere, and did not return till 1680. " 1676—March Ye 30th Ye lnhabitance ware drawn of by rason of ye Endien Worre." " 1680—August Ye 21st. The Revd Mr Man returned to Wrentham again and divers Inhabnts (John, Nathaniel and Robert Ware among the number.) He is said to have built upon the "Bean Place " as early as 1668. He was one of the first selectmen of Wrentham, 1686. Lieutenant and captain of the first military company. John Ware's commission as Lieut, of the Foot Company of Militia in the town of Wrentham, signed by Gov. Stoughton, Aug. 5, 1606, is still extant. He seems to have served as lieutenant from 1689 to 1704, and as captain till 1715. The journal of the company was kept in a small book, six by four inches, written in a crabbed, almost indecipherable hand, and was filled with notices of musters, with the names and amount of fines of the absent and "defective " ; the names of those " presst for Canada " or elsewhere, including those who '"' ran away," and the precautions taken against the Indians. At the end of the book are the following: lines :— [CENTER:]" He that is wise will Learn to prise an art that is most skillfull but as for fools theyel Spoyl all Town and Live not wise but willfull.”[:CENTER] John Ware headed a band of men in an attack against the Indians at Indian Rock during King Philip's war.—History of Norfolk County, p. 632. Indian Rock is near Jordan St. in the eastern part of Franklin.
