Who were the parents of Robert Ware of Dedham,MA (c1611-1699)?

Question

I'm trying to clarify the origins of Robert Ware of Dedham.  He just misses being part of the Puritan Great Migration project with his first record in the New World being a land purchase in Dedham in Nov 1642.

His profile is currently connected to Robert Ware & Jane Wade, who I can't find anything on. Online genealogies show a variety of origins for Robert & Jane, sometimes English, sometimes Irish. Sometimes married in England, sometimes married in VA.  They were sometimes proposed to be the parents of Peter Ware of Hampton Parish, VA, but more recent research has shown him to be the son of Peter Ware and Catherine Eaton.

There is a suggestion that Robert of Dedham and Peter of VA may be related because both families seemed to also have connections with Eaton and Bacon families.  But that seems pretty thin to me.

Comments

It seems very unlikely that the younger Robert Ware born in 1611 could have a father who was born in 1602.

Thanks for pointing that out.  Now that I look at it, I'm not exactly sure where the 1611 birth year comes from.  The bio implies that his age was given when he died, but the record simply refers to him as "the aged."

He owns property 1642 so I think that means he must have been born by 1621.

Not sure if I am reading this right but looks like she is still alive when he died. (Ps have to split upload)

Thanks Marion.  That's him.  We have his estimated year of immigration and his marriages, children and death info.  Looking for clues that will lead us back to his birth and parents.
