The William Torian at whose home they were married is likely her uncle, husband of Julia Burbridge. Best I can tell Ursula was an orphan at this time. Witnesses were Mary McCarty, Mary E Lander and James Torian. In the 1900 census Ursula shows 0 born 0 living which pretty well confirms that 'son' John was Stephen's by a prior marriage.5,6
Census1870*	Ursula and Stephen appeared on the 1870 Federal Census of Princeton, Caldwell Co., Kentucky, enumerated 6 July 1870, as 47 yo grocery clerk Stephen & 35 yo Sula Miller. Fifteen yo John Miller was listed as living with them. His age suggests he was Stephen's son from a prior marriage. Ursula's 1900 census shows 0 born & 0 living which confirms this supposition. Also in the home 48 yo W S Miller, 24 yo Sarah Miller, and one servant on the next sheet.7
Census1880	Ursula and Stephen appeared on the 1880 Federal Census of Princeton, Caldwell Co., Kentucky, enumerated 17 June 1880, as 56 yo farmer Stephen M & 45? yo wife Ursula Miller. John Miller, 23 yo son, was again listed as living with them.8

William F Knapke), Nina S (c1875- ), Edith M (c1877- ) and Maurice Thomas (c1883- ) Lander. The two children born & died between 1900 & 1910 are currently unknown. Maude has a marriage record, otherwise the sources are scarce.5,6,2

Birth*	Arabella, daughter of Stephen Strode Lander and Mary Torian, was born in 1849 in Kentucky.3,1,2
Census1850	Arabella appeared on the 1850 Federal Census of Dist. 1, Christian Co., Kentucky in the household of her parents, Stephen Strode Lander and Mary Torian, as 1 yo Arabella Lander.3
Census1860	Arabella appeared on the 1860 Federal Census Christian Co., Kentucky in the household of her parents, Stephen Strode Lander and Mary Torian, as 11 yo Arabella Lander.4
Marriage*	She married James W. McGehee on 18 October 1877 in Belleview, Christian Co., Kentucky. Lander writes that James left Arabella a widow with four children : Carl, Jacob, Morton and James McGehee. That doesn't really work since son Carl died in 1879 and son Jacob died in 1882. James didn't die until 1908. The 1900 census shows married 22 years with 4 born and 2 living. Those two would be Morton and James Jr. My preliminary research suggests their children were Carl (1878-1879), Morton M (1880-1919), Jacob (1881-1882) and James W Jr (c1890- ) McGehee. Sources for these children not cited in parental tags include Find A Grave memorials for Carl, Morton and Jacob. All three are buried in same Section 9 of Greenwood Cemetery as their parents.5,1,2

Best guess this was Morton. Also in the home was James' brother 20 yo John Q McGehee and Belle's 38 yo sister Mary Eliza Lander.6
Census1900	Arabella and James appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Clarksville, Montgomery Co., Kentucky, enumerated 10 July 1900, as 49 yo merchant J W & 41 yo wife Belle McGehee. Their 10 yo son James W Jr was listed as living with them, as well as one boarder.7

29 Apr 2024

Birth*	Robert was born on 23 September 1831 in Christian Co., Kentucky. FSTrees (Robert W Ware (1831-1915), ID no. KZWW-GS9) claims without citation that he was from Frankfort, KY, and his parents were James Ware & Joanna Thompson Parish.1
Marriage*	He married Letitia Elizabeth "Letty" Lander, daughter of Stephen Strode Lander and Mary Torian, on 21 February 1858 in Christian Co., Kentucky. Married 45 years with 5 born and 4 living in the 1900 census. My preliminary research suggests their children were Anna Belle "Annie" (c1859-a1919, m. Robert E McRoberts), Mae Ellen (1861-1916, m. Charles Freeborgh), Jennie (c1865-b1880), James Harry/Harvey (1865-1951, m. Lulu L Winfree) and Harry P (c1880-a1919) Ware. Sources for these children not cited in parental tags include Find A Grave memorials for Mae Ellen and James Harry/Harvey, death and marriage records for James as well as easily found census records 1900-1940.3,2,4
Census1860*	Robert and Letitia appeared on the 1860 Federal Census of Hopkinsville, Christian Co., Kentucky, enumerated 6 August 1860, as 29 yo physician Robt W and 22 yo Letitia Ware. Their 1 yo daughter Anna Ware was listed as living with them.5
Census1870	Robert and Letitia appeared on the 1870 Federal Census of Dist. 6, Christian Co., Kentucky, enumerated 29 September 1870, as 35 yo physician Robt W and 30 yo Lettie Ware. Their children 11 yo Annie, 10 yo Mary, 5 yo Jennie and 3 yo Harry Ware were listed as living with them, as well as two domestic servants.6
Census1880	Robert and Letitia appeared on the 1880 Federal Census of Hopkinsville, Christian Co., Kentucky, enumerated 12 June 1880, as 47 yo insurance agent Robtert W and 42 yo Letticia E Ware. Their children 21 yo Anna B, 18 yo May E, 15 yo James H and 12 yo Harry T Ware were listed as living with them.7
Census1900	Robert and Letitia appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of South Hopkinsville, Christian Co., Kentucky, enumerated 4 June 1900, as 69 yo farmer Robtert W and 62 yo wife Letticia E Ware. Their 32 yo daughter May E Ware was listed as living with them.8
Census1910	Robert and Letitia appeared on the 1910 Federal Census of South Hopkinsville, Christian Co., Kentucky, enumerated 14 May 1910, as 77 yo farmer R W and 70 yo wife Letitia E Ware. Their 32 yo daughter May E and 30 yo son Harry P Ware were listed as living with them.9
Death*	Robert died on 14 March 1913 at Kentucky Pike in near Western State Hospital, Christian Co., Kentucky, at age 81. He died unexpectedly and quite suddenly, before a doctor could be summoned.10,11,1
Burial*	He was buried at Riverside Cemetery in Hopkinsville, Christian Co., Kentucky. Joint headstone photo with Letty is available at Find A Grave. Some uncited bio info is also available.1
ResearchNote*	Research Note of 17 August 2019 re sons of RW & Letty. The sons are confusing. They were the last two children. James is talked about in his Find A Grave memorial as Harry but his headstone clearly reads Harvey. His age thru the censuses is pretty consistent. His younger brother however is a mess. He's MIA in 1870. In 1880 he's 12 years old as Harry T. In 1900 he's again MIA. In 1910 he's listed as 30 yo son Harry P Ware. My guess is he should be 0.12 yo in 1880, 20 yo in 1900, 30 yo in 1910. His name is likely Harry and his older brother Harvey.

Marriage*	He married Susan Ellen Lander, daughter of Stephen Strode Lander and Mary Torian, on 2 May 1861 at home of S. S. Landers in Christian Co., Kentucky. The SS Landers in whose home they were married could be her father or younger brother, most likely her father. Lander mentions only one son, Phil, 'a model farmer'. My preliminary research suggests their children were J Wallace (1862-1883), Walter T (1863-1869) and Philip Tandy (1865-1955) Roberts. All three children have Find A Grave memorials linked to Susan. Philip has a death record at FamilySearch.3,4,2,5

29 Apr 2024

Birth*	Annie was born circa 1851 in Tennessee.3
Marriage*	She married Stephen Strode Lander II, son of Stephen Strode Lander and Mary Torian, on 18 December 1872 in Hopkinsville, Christian Co., Kentucky. Bond was dated 14 December. In the 1900 census Annie shows married 27 years with 4 born and 4 living. In the 1910 she shows 6 born, 4 living. My preliminary research suggests their children were Maude Preston (c1873- , m. William F Knapke), Nina S (c1875- ), Edith M (c1877- ) and Maurice Thomas (c1883- ) Lander. The two children born & died between 1900 & 1910 are currently unknown. Maude has a marriage record, otherwise the sources are scarce.1,4,2
Census1880*	Annie and Stephen appeared on the 1880 Federal Census of Bainbridge Mag. Dist., Christian Co., Kentucky, enumerated 14 June 1880, as 37 yo farmer Stephen S & 28 yo wife Annie Lander. Their children 6 yo Maud P, 4 yo Nina S and 2 yo Edith M Lander were listed as living with them, as well as one servant and her son.3
Census1900*	Annie appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Civil Dist. 5, Dickson Co., Tennessee, enumerated 11 June 1900, as 45 yo married(!) Annie Landers. Her children 25 yo Nina, 23 yo Edith and 16 yo Mauries Lander were listed as living with her, as well 26 yo married daughter Maude Knapke, 75 yo mother Eliza Thomas and two boarders.5
Census1910	Annie appeared on the 1910 Federal Census of Los Angeles, Los Angeles Co., California, enumerated 16 April 1910, as 60 yo widow Anna Lander. Her children 30 yo Nina, 28 yo Edith and 26 yo Maurise Lander were listed as living with her.6
ResearchNote*	Research Note of 21 August 2019 re Find A Grave. I suspect Annie (1849-1919) is the person buried at Evergreen Cemetery, Los Angeles, Find A Grave memorial no. 179639606. None of her children are buried there, however. The fact that Nina is HOH in 1920 w/ sisters Edith, Maude Knapke and family living with her supports idea that their mother had died.7
