For a brief sketch of his military career, and of his single-handed deadly encounter with an Indian, see page 13 of this History. His martial spirit was inherited by his sons, seven of whom served in the French War, - three at the sacrifice of life. After his marriage, at the mature age of thirty- six years, he resided first on the westerly side of the road from N. Br. to W. Brk., and on the southerly side of the brook at the head of Ditch Meadow, then in Brk., but now included in New Braintree. About 1730 he removed to the place long known as the " Perez Cobb Farm," 1 on the road to Rutland, about a mile east of the Furnace Village; his farm embraced a part of the Indian fort, or stronghold, at Winnimisset. After the settlement of Hk. he was one of the most active citizens, and one of the twelve men who united to form the first church; he was also selectman six years, assessor six years, and often moderator of the town meetings.

1 He sold this farm to Perez Cobb 4 May 1764, and prob. res. with his son Warham, during the remainder of his life.
2 Like other Southern planters, Mr. Warner held slaves. When he returned to New England, about 1850, with shattered health, he brought with him one of the house-servants, who faithfully ministered to his wants as long as he lived. The follow- ing account, which was published in the Barre Gazette, Ap. 3, 1874, has reference to this subject, and is presumed to be substan- tially correct: "Hardwick has a real slave romance. 'Aunt Judie Warner,' as she is familiarly known, an aged negress who came to Hardwick some twenty-five years ago, with her helpless master, Colonel Frank Warner, and nursed him until his death, several years ago, when he left her eight hundred dollars, is going back to his old home in Arkansas. Within a few months she has learned that her children, sold from her when young, and whom she has mourned as dead, are living, and that one daughter is about to be married; so she is going on to the wedding. Charles P. Aiken, with
whom she has been living, accompanies her on this pilgrimage."
Desiring to know the result of this matter, I addressed the Town Clerk, who ascertained for me the following particulars: Mr. Aiken left Hardwick with "Aunt Judy " April 6, 1874, and in due time she arrived at her old home in Lewisville, La Fayette Co., Arkansas. Here she found her children, but soon became homesick. She therefore " bought a home for her children, and re- traced her steps to Hardwick, arriving there only a few days after Mr. Aiken, May 24, 1874, taking with her a daughter and grand- son, expecting to have a home with Mr. Aiken." He could not easily accommodate so large a family; and therefore she "kept house at the Old Furnace until the next autumn, and then went back with her daughter and child to Arkansas; she lived there until the summer of 1875, when she went to Cleveland, Ohio, to the house of a brother of Colonel Warner, where she died in the autumn of 1882." Such is the conclu- sion of a "real slave romance," and the only one of its kind connected with the history of Hardwick.
