On the maternal side we find that William Warner was the father of James Kite’s wife, Mary.William emigrated to New England probably in 1635, with three children who were nearly or quite grown. Settled in Ipswich where he was first mentioned in 1636-7. At that time he received the grant of a house lot of about one acre extent situated o nthe Mill Street where he was named as an abuttor oto several of the early residents including Simon Stacy. He also reveived a six-acre planign lot abaout fourteen acres of meadow and a ninety-seven acre farm. The belief is that he died in or about 1648 for in that year his name was omitted from the tax list. On May 2, 1638, a man called William Warrener (who was probably our William_ was made free, which presupposes church membership. Willima Arner was called (of Boxted) co. Essex, England and he had married probably there about 1611 an Abigail Baker, who may have died in England. This Abigail had a sister, Sarah Baker who married first at Boxted on October 20, 1614, Richard Lumpkin (1582-1642) of Boxted, England and Ipswich, New Englnad. AFter the death of Lumpkin his widow Sarag married secondly at Ipswich about 1655 as his second wife, Simon Stone. Her will dated March 25, 1663, made bequest to her kinsmen” John Warner, Daniel Warner and Thomas Wells (husband of her niece Abigail) and named the three of them as her executors. The Warner and Wells families were called “people of consideration” among the first settlers.He was a captain in Cromwell’s army. But beyond this fact we have no history of his military career.After Cromwell’s death he came to America. The precise date of his coming to this country we have been unable to determine. But, as Cromwell died in 1658, and it is reputed that Warner left England soon after the death of Cromwell, it is reasonable tosuppose that he came to this country in 1658. ^’Watson Annals of Philadelphia, edition1845.”He settled on the west bank of the Schuylkill River, where he made extensive purchases of land from the native Indians. The titles to these lands were afterwards confirmed by the Upland Courts, and later by William Penn.In 1681, he was appointed a member of Deputy Governor Markliam’s council. Theoath of ofiice was administered and subscribed by him August 3, 1681. Upon the reorganization of the Upland Court, he was appointed by the Governor as one of the nine justices composing that court. He was a member of the first assembly of Pennsylvania, that convened at Philadelphia on the 10th of March, 1683.I WILLIAM WARNER of the Township of Blockley in the County of Philadelphia & province of Pensilvania Yeoman Being at this time in Reasonable Good Health of Body And of a Sound & well disposed Judgment & Understanding praised be the Name of the Lord for his Mercy and Goodness Towards me But considering the Frailty of this Transitory life & the uncertainty thereof I have thought good at this time to make my last Will & Testament And as to that Worldly Estate as it hath pleased Allmighty God to bestow upon my Will is thatthe Same be disposed on by my Executors after my Decease after all my just Debts that I owe are paid In manner & form Following that is to Say First I comitt my Soul into the Hands of Allmighty God my Saviour & Keeper And my Body to be decently buried by myExecutors hereby named.

His wife was Ann Dide, she may have been his second wife. Although a family traditon stated that William Warner was in this country as early as 1658 no proof of this has been found. It seems probable that William Warner and his family arrived in the Delaware in 1675. (1)The eminent genealogist, Gilbert Cope, also mentions the tradition that William Warner arrived in 1658, but says no proof has been found. The records of Upland Court, in what is now Pennsylvania show that he applied for grants of land on the Schuylkil in 1678-1681. He was one of the Jusices to hold the first Court under the Charter of William Penn in 1681, and was also a member of Philadelphia County Assembly in 1682/3. Denver Hot Shot . recycled glass gifts .

He left a life interest in half of Blockley Plantation and half of his “backward meadow” to his wife Ann. To his son John he left 100 acres “backward land” and half of meadow belonging to same. He names his sons Isaac, William and Robert and son-in-law James Kite. He left Robert two houses in Draycott, Worcestershire, England, he paying the testators brother Isaac 5 pounds. His Executors were his wife Ann and son Isaac Warner. (3)(1) Colonial Families of Philadelphia, John W.

GSP(3) PhiladelphiaCounty Will Book C, p.61, 1706:#50WILLIAM WARNER, the fourth named appointee, was a son of John and Margaret Warner, and was baptized 8 July, 1627, at Blockley Parish Church, England. He came to Pennsylvania prior to 3 April, 1678, on which day he received a grant of land from the Upland Court. On 10 March, 1680, and 14 June, 1681, he received additional grants, making seven hundred acres in all. The last, of four hundred acres, was made at the final sitting of the Upland Court under Markham’s administration. He also purchased land direct from the Indians, and on 23 February, 1701, he had from William Penn a patent for a plantation of three hundred acres, located in what is now West Philadelphia. To this plantation, Mr. Warner gave the name of “Blockley,” in honor of his native parish. In 1679, he was deputy or under sheriff to Captain Edmund Cantwell, Sheriff for Upland jurisdiction, and in 1681, he was made a member of Governor Markham’s Council, and one of the justices of the Upland Court, the only court in Penn’s Province. As councillor and justice, he served until the arrival of William Penn, when he was elected a member of the first Assembly that met in Philadelphia. He does not appear to have held public office after the expiration of his term as assemblyman. Possibly he remained a member of the Church of England, and for this reason did not receive from the Quaker interests, then in control, the consideration he would otherwise have enjoyed. His grandson, of the same name, inherited “Blockley,” upon which estate he resided, becoming a founder of the noted organization “The State in Schuyl- kill,” which had his permission to erect on his lands their first house. He received from the organization the title of Baron, and, as rental, the first perch caught at the opening of the fishing season. William Warner, the councillor, died at “Blockley,” in October, 1707, and his will, dated 1 September, 1703, proved 18 October, 1707, named wife Anne, sons Robert, Isaac, and William; son-in-law, James Kite, and grandsons, James and Abraham Kite. To his son Robert, he devised two houses in Dray cot, Worcestershire, England. He has had a numerous posterity.
