WARE, ROBERT —"Died on the 6th inst. at his residence near this place, aged, 67. The eulogy of the departed good, is but a just tribute to their merit. In some degree, it soothes the feelings of friends, and excites to emulation and virtue. Those who knew Mr. Ware will always venerate his memory. Animated by ardent patriotism he early embarked in defence of the liberties of his country. He endured every hardship, and encountered every peril, with fortitude and heroism. In numerous excursions against the tories, at the battle of the Cowpens and at the siege of Augusta, he performed services which ought to embalm his name in the hearts of his countrymen. During most of his life, he was an inhabitant of the county of Lincoln in the State of Georgia; and for many years, as a member of the Legislature and a judge of the county court was distinguished for his sound judgment and inflexible integrity. As a member of the Baptist church, for nearly forty years he exhibited an example to the Christian, in piety to God and good will to man. In his general intercourse with society upright and honorable, in his domestic relations kind and affectionate, in his private habits temperate and industrious, few men more fully performed the various duties for which it has pleased the Deity to place in this world, in order to qualify us to enjoy that state of happiness which he has reserved only for the righteous. We trust he has gone to meet his redeemer, and receive the welcome. 'Well done, thou good and faithful servant. enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.'—Alabama Journal, Montgomery, Ala., May 17, 1827.

Brewer's Alabama says that 'he was a colonial officer of 1776 and the owner of the celebrated Portuguese giant, Peter Francisco. Capt. Winston removed first to Tennessee and subsequently settled in Madison County, Alabama. about the year 1810. He was a man of marked and elevated character.' He died in 1828. He left seven sons, Anthony, John J., William, Joel W., Isaac, Edmund and Thomas J., and two daughters, Mrs. John Pettus (Alice T.) and Mrs. Jesse Jones. Capt. Winston was nearly related to Patrick Henry (a first cousin) and distinction is hereditary in the Winston family. He has many honored descendants; one of his grandsons was Governor John Anthony Winston of Sumter, the 'first native born governor of Alabama.' Another grandson is General Edmund Winston Pettus, now senator in the United States Congress. Another distinguished grandson was the brother of Gen. Pettus, Governor John J. Pettus, the war governor of Mississippi. Other descendants of Capt. Anthony Winston are scattered all over the Southwest, filling honorable positions with credit.
