NICHOLAS WARE

Hon. Nicholas Ware was born in Virginia, about the year
1776.  While young, his father settled in South Carolina.
Having finished his Academic course, he studied medicine
with Dr. Murray, of Augusta.  He afterwards studied law
in the office of the late Col. Seaborn Jones, and
subsequently attended the lectures of Judge Reeves, in
Litchfield, Conn.  He sustained a high rank as a lawyer. 
Mr. Ware was the friend fo science; he was one of the
active trustees of Richmond Academy, and President of the
Board when he died.  He represented Richmond County, and
in the Legislature opposed, with much ability, the
celebrated, but little commended Alleviating Law.  He was
for some time Mayor of Augusta, and Judge of the City
Court; but he resigned these offices when elected to the
United States Senate.  He died at New York, in 1824, in
the 49th year of his age.  He departed this life with the
lively hope of a blessed immortality.
