John Warner
John Warner lived first at Hartford in Connecticut and then at Farmington, where he was an original proprietor and settler. He was one of the Pequot soldiers, the men who fought in Connecticut's war of 1637 against the Pequot. For that service the General Court granted him fifty acres in 1671. The land was not laid out until October 1689, when Sergeant Thomas Judd and Sergeant John Stanley were appointed to lay it out to his heirs.
He and his son John were both freemen of Farmington in 1669 and proprietors in 1672. He was one of the petitioners who asked liberty "to make a small plantation at Mattatuck," and so were his sons John and Daniel. In 1674 he signed the articles for that plantation, which became Waterbury, writing his name "John Warner, Sen." He meant to join the new settlement. He died before the move, in 1679.
His will, dated 14 March 1678/9, names his wife Margaret and his children John, Daniel, Thomas and Sarah. He gave his son John part of his farm at Crane Hall and "the Grant of that Tract of Land given me by the Country as a Pequott Soldier," to take effect "after the departure of the natural life of me John Warner & Margaret my wife." He left "my daughter Sarah Higgison my best Kettle." Sarah had been baptised on 15 March 1656/7, and she married William Higginson. The inventory, taken in 1679, came to 123 pounds 3 shillings.
Lucien Warner, who compiled the descendants of Andrew Warner of Hadley in 1919, thought this John might be kin to Andrew and said that no relationship had been traced.
