Biography

John WARNER of Great Waltham, Essex Co, England married there Mary PURCHAS 7d 9m 1578. They were the parents of Andrew WARNER the emmigrant to Hartford, Hartford Co, Connecticut. John wrote his will 16d 7m 1714 at Hatfield Broad Oak, Essex, England.

Parents: John Warner (____ - 1584) and Margaret Warner

Spouse: Mary Purchas Warner (____ - 1627) Children: Rose Warner Sanford (1587 - ____) Andrew Warner (1595 - 1684) Burial: Non-Cemetery Burial^[1]

John Warner died in 1614.

Information on the parents of Rose Warner is taken from "Thomas Sanford" genealogy. John Warner's will reveals the connection between the Sanfords and Warners.^[2]

John Warner was a yeoman of England. A yeoman meant a man who owned land, a freeholder, and who lived upon that land and who tilled it. The lands he owned were not extensive ; a few closes, or fields, of from two to six acres each, divided by hedges, comprised his holdings. He was in average circumstances, neither affluent nor poor, what we call today middle class.

Hatfield Broad Oak was a country village.

The will of John Warner, grandfather of Thomas, Robert and Andrew Sanford and perhaps of Zachary Sanford, the emigrants to America :

Commissary Court of London, Essex and Herts. (Filed Will.) 16 July, 12 James I. (1614)

In the name of God, Amen. I, John WARNER of Hatfeild Broakoke alias Hatfeild Kings, Co. Essex, yeoman, now sicke in bodie but whole and sounde of mynde and memory, &c.

• Item. I geve and bequeath unto Mary my wief all those my freehould lands, &c., in Hatfeild, she paying Elizabeth WARNER my daughter £10 a yeare for six yeares, and to Thomas, John and Ezechiell three of the sonnes of Ezechiel SANDFORD my sonne in lawe £3. 6s. 8d. apiece at 21, and to Andrewe WARNER and Edward WARNER my sonnes 50s. apeece yearly.

John X WARNER his mark.

Witnesses. Ezeakell SANFORD, Christofer WILKIN, Rob ert HOWE. (No note of probate.)

Andrew Warner, at the date of this will, was a minor as the form of the bequest to him? a yearly allowance ? suggests. His brother Thomas, the residuary legatee, and evidently the eldest son, doubtless inherited the bulk of their father's estate. Andrew had good cause to seek his fortune in America.

Birth: 1568 in Broad Oak, Hatfield, Essex, England. Christening: 23 MAY 1584 in Fathers Will, Great Waltham, Essex, England. Death: 16 JUL 1614 in Hatfield Broad Oak, Essex, England.
