Good job with the census, etc! Clara Dare Ettinger's book on the Dares is quite a bit outdated and has some inaccuracies, and some misproven. (Thanks for the link though!) For the latest info on the ancestors of this branch of the Indiana and Illinois Dare Family, go to www.darefamily.com from which you can download the Dare Family database, or just browse through the tree. These Dares descend from William Dare of Lyme Regis, Dorset, England, born about 1605, whose grandson Captain William Dare came to South Jersey about 1680.
