The English origins of William
Warner were laid out in a book The History of Peter Parker and Sarah
Ruggles of Roxbury, Mass., and Their Ancestors and Descendants, by John
William Linzee (Boston, 1913) but disputed by Robert Charles Anderson in his
book The
Great Migration, Volume VII (T-Y), pages 243 -247. He was born about 1587 and had two children
baptized in Boxted, Essex, England. His origins are unknown.
His wife is unknown, but the
following excerpt from The Great Migration is interesting
because both William Warner and Simons Stone are my 10th great
grandfathers :
“Richard
Lumkin and Sarah Baker were married at Boxted, Essex, on 20 October 1614. After Lumkin's death, Sarah married SIMON
STONE {1635, Watertown} [Great Migration 2:6:553-58]. In her will of 25 March 1663, "Sarah
Stone wife of Simon Stone of Watertowne... and the relict of Richard Lumkin
deceased sometime of Boxstead in the County of Essex, in England and last of all Ipswich in New
England" ordered that the residue of her estate "be equally divided
between my kinsmen John Warner, Daniel Warner, and Thomas Wells" and made
these three men her executors [Middlesex County Probate Records 2:128-30, Case
#21723]. Given this close connection
between Sarah (Baker) (Lumpkin) Stone and the children of William Warner, and
the baptism of the tow children of William Warner at Boxted, most writers have
proposed that William Warner married a sister of Sarah, but no further evidence
has emerged which would confirm that this is the precise relationship between
the two families.”
Besides these interesting controversies over William
Warner’s origins and the possible identity of his wife, not much else is known
about him. He was made a freeman in
Ipswich by 1638 and he received one of the original 1635 grants of land. In 1637 he was granted a house lot and farm
land. He left no will, and no tombstone,
nor a death record.
