Children of Charles Stevens and Mary Munford are:

Munford Stevens, born Bet. 1702 - 1707.

Notes for Munford Stevens:
My guess is that he moved to Orange county where he probably owned the land from his father's patent in that county. He is shown as member of a grand jury for inquest in Orange county in 1750 (along with my ancestors Philip Bush and Benjamin Hawkins!). By 1792 this land may have been located in Madison county. Mumford Stevens with others is ordered to clear a road in that year.

Notes for Valentine Ware, Sr.:
From: http://members.cox.net/wdegidio/warelineage/warelineage.htm

"--3-Valentine Ware, Sr. (c1654 Hampton Parish, York Co., VA-c1704 Stratton Major Parish, King and Queen Co., VA) m. (Mary Dudley ?) d/o Wm/ Eliz. Cary. A Valentine Ware was listed on the 1704 Quit Rent Rolls for King and Queen Co. with 478a; it is unknown if this Valentine Ware was Valentine Ware Sr. or Valentine Ware Jr.

-----4-Valentine Ware, Jr. (1680 New Kent Co., VA or Before c1731 Stratton Major Parish, King and Queen Co., VA) m. Sarah Leigh d/o William Lea and Mary Green, Vestryman, SM 1729-31. A Valentine Ware appeared on the 1704 Quit Rent Rolls with 478a; it is unknown if this was Valentine Ware Sr. or Valentine Ware Jr. Valentine Ware was a Vestryman from 1729 to 1731, and it is inferred in the Vestry Books that he died in 1731.

THE EXISTENCE OF THE FOLLOWING VALENTINE WARE III IS UNPROVEN AND IS BASED ON A VALENTINE BECOMING A PROCESSIONER IN 1731, AND THE EXISTENCE OF A 1739 VESTRYMAN NAMED VALENTINE. PLEASE NOTE THAT VALENTINE COULD BE THE NEPHEW OF VALENTINE WARE, JR. INSTEAD OF HIS SON.

---------5-Valentine Ware III (c1700->1739 (likely between c1753 and c1756) m. Unknown. The existence of this Valentine Ware is pure speculation and is based solely on the fact that a Valentine Ware was appointed processioner between the Little Heartquake Creek and the Great Heartquake Creek from 1731 to 1735. Other Processioners in the area 1731-1735 included Humphrey Garrett and John Smith. Valentine Ware Jr. would have been 50+ years old in 1731; this may have been too old to become a new processioner. A Valentine Ware was also a Vestryman in 1739 King and Queen Co. VA."


Child of Valentine Ware and Sarah Lea is:

Valentine Ware, Jr., born Abt. 1686; died Bet. 1724 - 1740 in prob. King & Queen Co., VA; married Mary Dudley?.

      162. Col. Ambrose Dudley¹¹⁶, born 1646¹¹⁶; died Aft. 1712¹¹⁶. He was the son of 324. Richard Dudley and 325. Mary Sewell. He married 163. Anne Foster? Abt. 1674¹¹⁶.
