February 10, 1776, Pattison Hartshorne, son of Hugh and Hannah Hartshorne, and a descendant of Robert Hartshorne, an early Governor of East Jersey. The "Journal of Elizabeth Drinker" makes frequent mention of the Hartshorne family. "1776, December 10, H. D. and E. D. were this day at ye wedding of P. Hartshorne and S. Waln" "1777, Nov. 25, S. Hartshorne came over this morning to go on ye top of our House to see ye Fleet come up; 2 or 3 20-Gun Ships, and a great number of smaller vessels came up to day" 1778, Jan. 28. "Chalkley James, Patt" and Sucky Hartshorne called."
The Hartshornes spent the summer of 1791 in Germantown; in the yellow- fever summer of 1793 they were also out of the city. In August, 1796, Mrs. Drinker was much excited by the runaway marriage of her daughter Mary to Samuel Rhoads; on August 10, she wrote, "Day before yesterday the 8th inst. Molly was gone as I thought with Sally Large shopping. * * The next day the 9th *
* sister went over to R. Waln's to enquire if she had heard where Molly was. She informed her that Pattison Hartshorne had been told in ye morning by Sally Large that there would be trouble in the neighborhood to day -that Molly Drinker was married last night to S. R. at the Widow Pemberton's House in Chestnut St." Both Pattison and Susannah Hartshorne died in the year 1828.

HON. ROBERT WALN, son of Robert and Rebecca (Coffin) Waln, was born February 22, 1765, died January 25, 1836, being at the time of his death a mem- ber of the Philadelphia, Southern District, Monthly Meeting. He attained the widest distinction in public life of any of the descendants of Nicholas Waln, Colonist. He became associated with his cousin, Jesse Waln, as before stated, and for years they transacted an extensive business as importers and merchants ; the house of Jesse and Robert Waln ranking with those of Girard, Ridgway, Williams, etc. Later in life he became interested in other business enterprises. In 1812 he erected a cotton factory in Trenton, New Jersey, said to have been one of the largest as well as one of the earliest in America. He was also exten- sively interested in the iron industry at Phoenixville, Pennsylvania.
No man was more active in his day, in all that relates to civic or national progress than Robert Waln. We find him in attendance at many conferences at

WALN
the State House, the Coffee House and elsewhere, called to advance the interests of Philadelphia and the nation at large, especially during the stirring period be- tween 1790 and 1820, embracing the first years under the Federal Constitution and the War of 1812-14. He also served upon various committees appointed to carry out the resolves emanating from such public conferences.
He was for several terms a member of General Assembly of Pennsylvania, and in 1796 was nominated by the Federalists as their candidate for Congress. He was defeated, however, by Blair McClenachan, by a vote of 1, 182 to 910. Two years later Waln was again a candidate and was this time elected. After his congressional service he was chosen a member of City Council and was several times re-elected, serving as President of Select Council, 1816-19. He also filled at various times, the presidency of the Chamber of Commerce, Philadelphia In- surance Company, Atlantic Insurance Company, and Mercantile Library Com- pany. He was also a director of Pennsylvania Hospital, Bank of North America, and Philadelphia Library Company ; and was one of the trustees of University of Pennsylvania from 1811 until his death, and a trustee under the will of Stephen Girard.
Robert Waln's residence for the greater part of his life was at 138 (old num- ber) South Second street, above Spruce, on the site of the famous "Governor's House" or "Shippen's Great House", as it was originally denominated. His country seat was "Waln Grove", Frankford. He married, October 10, 1787, at Pine street Friends' Meeting House, Phebe, daughter of Ellis and Mary (Desh- ler) Lewis, and sister to David Lewis, who lived next door to him. She was born May 17, 1768, died April 16, 1845. See Lewis Family in these volumes.

Ryers, wife of Joseph W. Ryers, and daughter of Robert Waln." Later Joseph W. Ryers had a fine country place near Fox Chase, which from its name, "Burholme," would seem that he may have named it for the Waln home in Yorkshire by reason of his own Waln ancestry.

WARNER FAMILY.
John Warner, of Draycott, in the Parish of Blockley, Worcestershire, England, was of a family long seated in that locality, and was possibly the John Warner baptized at the Parish Church of Blockley, April 22, 1582, who was the son of Richard Warner. The register of Blockley Parish Church shows the baptism of six children of Richard Warner, but the record of that of the five eldest of them omits the name of the mother. The baptismal record of the youngest child, Ursula, gives the name of Richard Warner's wife Margaret, and as some years intervened, she was possibly a second wife. No record of the marriage of John Warner has been found, but the baptismal record of his children shows that his wife's name was likewise Margaret.
The children of John and Margaret Warner, as shown by the records of Block- ley Parish Church, were as follows :
Jane Warner, bap. Nov. 29, 1612; no further record;
Mary Warner, bap. Nov. 29, 1613; no further record;
Thomas Warner, bap. Oct. 30, 1616; probably the Thomas Warner who married Ursula and had five children bap. at Blockley Parish Church, viz .: Thomas, Aug. 17, 1651; Jane, March 27, 1653; John, June 17, 1655; Daniel, Sept. 5, 1658; and Isaac, March 2, 1661;
Richard Warner, bap. Jan. 20, 1621; probably the Richard Warner who married Sarah , and had three children bap. at Blockley Parish Church, viz .: Richard, Jan. 23, 1647; Sarah, Nov. 30, 1651 ; and Hannah, July 15, 1655;
Robert Warner, bap. March I, 1624; possibly the Robert Warner who married Ellenor and had the following children bap. at Blockley Parish Church : Margaret, June 5, 1663; Mary, Dec. 26, 1663; and probably Anne, Sept. 6, 1665; mother's name not given ;
WILLIAM WARNER (I), bap. July 8, 1627; came to America, probably in 1675; of whom presently;
Edward Warner, bap. Nov. 3, 1629; probably the Edward Warner who married Ann and had four children bap. at Blockley Parish Church, viz .: John, Sept. 21, 1657; Edward, April 9, 1659; Anne, April 13, 1661; and Isaac, April 3, 1663. Edward and Ann Warner removed to Gloucestershire, became members of Society of Friends, and had three more children born there, viz .: James, Iomo. (Dec.) 26, 1664; Mary, 8mo. (Oct.) 28, 1666; and Elizabeth, 7mo. (Sept.) 17, 1668. It seems likely that they were the Edward and "Annie" Warner, Friends, who subsequently resided in county Essex, and who had four children born there, viz .: Jacob, 3mo. (May) 8, 1670; Sarah, 6mo. (Aug.) 9, 1672; Joseph, 3mo. ( May) 17, 1674; and Hester, 6mo. (Aug.) 25, 1676. Some of Edward Warner's children probably came to Pa. late in eighteenth century. The name, Jacob Warner, appears in list of burials of persons, "not Friends," in the records of Phila. Monthly Meeting (Race street), under date of 4mo. (June) 16, 1717; and there is a tradition that William Roberts, of Merion and Blockley, m. (first) Eliz- abeth Warner, whom he met on shipboard while coming to America;
John Warner, bap. July 26, 1632; no further record;
Anthony Warner, bap. Jan. 1, 1634; no further record;
Isaac Warner, bap. Aug. 22, 1636; doubtless d. before June 24, 1638, when a second Isaac was bap .;
Isaac Warner, bap. June 24, 1638; probably living at Draycott, Parish of Blockley, Worcestershire, England, Sept. 8, 1703, date of his brother William Warner's will, by terms of which he was to be paid "five Pounds Sterling money of England" by Will- iam's son, Robert Warner (5), of whom hereafter.
Note .- Another Isaac Warner who came to America, had a survey of 400 acres of land, one-third in Chester county, Pa. (in that part which is now embraced within Bethel township, Delaware county), and two-thirds in New Castle county, 8mo. (Oct.) 28, 1683 (identified in "Smith's Atlas of Delaware County," 1880). This was a rectangular tract lying lengthwise, northeast and southwest, crossed at Booth's Corners by the road to Naaman's Creek. Perhaps this was also the Isaac Warner whose name appeared
227
WARNER
on first general tax list for county of Philadelphia, Sept. 26, 1693, when he was assessed to pay a tax of 2 shillings 6 pence, on property valued at £30. Among the "Old Rights" papers in Land Office was No. 49, a warrant and return of survey for city lots, to Isaac Warner & Co., dated 2mo. (April) 26, 1690. This referred to a warrant dated 2mo. (April) 26, 1690, by virtue of which there was laid out by the Surveyor- General's order of 2mo. (April) 25, 1691, a lot on the west side of Strawberry Alley, Phila., the patent for which was issued Feb. 24, 1692-3, to Isaac Warner, and which he assigned to John White, wool-comber, March 2, of the latter year. This Isaac Warner, of Phila., was a currier by trade, while Isaac Warner, of Chester county, appears to have been a carpenter.
The name of Isaac Warner, of Chester county, appears a number of times in the records of that county prior to 1698, in which year he and Joseph Holt were drowned, while coming in a boat from New Castle, and their bodies found on Tinicum Island. The Coroner's inquest, held 7mo. (Sept.) 23, 1698, is reported on the docket of Chester County Court, under date of Smo. ( Oct.) 4, same year, when the Court investigated the circumstances attending the finding of the bodies. Isaac Warner's name appears in the list of burials of persons, "not Friends," in the records of Phila. Monthly Meeting (Race street), 8mo. (Oct.) 9, 1698, and letters of administration on his estate were granted at Phila., Dec. 10, 1700, to Catherine Warner, his widow and relict. No will or administration of the Isaac Warner drowned in 1698 are on record in Chester county, and the delay in the appointment of the widow as administratrix may have been due to her removal to Phila., and also to the fact that Isaac Warner had a son who survived him nearly a year, as in the list of burials of persons, "not Friends," in the records of Phila. Monthly Meeting ( Race street) appears the name of John War- ner, 6mo. (Aug.) 9, 1699, (son of) Isaac and Katherine.
Isaac and Catherine Warner had a dau. Anne, m. at "Skool Creeke" Meeting House, 4mo. (June) 6, 1695, James Thomas, of Merion, Phila. county. Anne was then of "Skookill Creek," same county, spinster. Catherine Warner and Isabell Thomas signed the marriage certificate just below the contracting parties, and among the other wit- nesses were John Warner, Isaac Warner, James Kite and a second Isaac Warner. James Thomas was a widower, having buried his first wife Margaret gmo. (Nov.) 2, 1694. By his first marriage he had at least one son, Thomas, born 8mo. (Oct.) 28, 1690; by his second wife Anne ( Warner) he had a son Nathan, born 2mo. (April) 13, 1696.
WILLIAM WARNER, son of John and Margaret, was born at Draycott, Parish of Blockley, Worcestershire, England, and baptized in the Parish Church there July 8, 1627. The family tradition is that he "had been a captain under Oliver Cromwell, and had to leave his native land when the Protector died, which was in 1658." This story was repeated to the late John Fanning Watson in June, 1833, by Mrs. Anne (Roberts) Warner, then about seventy-one years of age, and was committed to writing by him, but is not included in his published "Annals." She was widow of another and later William Warner whose great-grandfather Isaac Warner came to America with the first William Warner or about the same time and was one of his sons. There is certainly nothing unlikely in this tradition, as many officers under the Commonwealth are known to have come to America after the Restoration, and no trace of William Warner and of his children who came to America has been found in England subsequent to the middle of the seventeenth century.
Thomas Allen Glenn, in his work "Merion in the Welsh Tract," states that "it seems apparent that William Warner settled first in New England, or at least remained there some time," and that "it may be presumed that he drifted into Pennsylvania by way of New Jersey." The suggestion has also been made that William Warner went from New England to the settlements on the Delaware by way of New York, with Sir Robert Carre's expedition, 1664, in which he may have obtained his military title, (if he had one). But none of the Warners in New England, so far as known, were from the county of Worcester, and no evi- dence has been produced to connect them with the Warners who came to New Jersey about the time of its first settlement by the English.

The first English ship that brought permanent settlers to West Jersey was the "Joseph and Benjamin," Matthew Paine, master. This vessel landed passengers on the south side of the Asamohacking River, (now Salem Creek,) at a point three miles from its mouth, March 13, 1674-5. The month and day have been variously stated, partly owing to the confusion caused by the difference between the old style calendar then used by the English and the new style followed by the Dutch. The vessel was bound for Maryland.
Major John Fenwick and others arrived at or near the same place, on the ship "Griffin," Robert Griffin, master, November 23, 1675, (Old Style,) and estab- lished there a town, which he called New Salem. Fenwick, in order to carry out his plans for a colony, had borrowed money of Edmund (or Edmond) Warner, citizen and poulterer, of London, and John Eldridge (or Edridge,) conveying to them the ten parts which he had drawn as his tenth interest in one-half of New Jersey, as security, with the right to sell lands therefrom for the satisfaction of his debts to them. Fenwick also conveyed lands, absolutely, to Edmund Warner. It is reasonable to suppose that Edmund Warner sought to interest his wealthiest and most influential relatives in his ventures in the New World, and that he may have solicited the active participation of the Warners of the Parish of Blockley in the settlement of Fenwick's Colony, if they were related to him,-circumstances concerning which we are without information.
In any event it seems probable that William Warner, his wife Anne, his chil- dren John, William, Mary, Robert and Isaac, and several other members of the Warner family of Draycott, Worcestershire, England, arrived at the Delaware River plantations during the summer or autumn of 1675, either in the first English ship that brought permanent settlers to West Jersey, or with Fenwick, or several months later, when the "Griffin" stopped at New Salem a second time, it is said, with emigrants, after having returned to England, and while on a voyage to Maryland. For before April 1, 1677, William Warner's son William was a land- owner in West Jersey, as will appear hereafter, and there is no record of any vessel having arrived within the capes after the "Griffin," until August, 1677, when the "Kent" came with companies of Quakers from London and Yorkshire. The improbability that any English family would have emigrated for the special purpose of settling among the Swedes or Dutch, adds force to the presumption that the Warners did not come earlier than 1675; and in the absence of good evi- dence to the contrary it may be assumed that they arrived in West Jersey in that year.
Many of those who originally intended to take up land in the vicinity of New Salem went elsewhere, owing to the unsatisfactory state of affairs in Fenwick's colony, particularly as affecting surveys and titles to land. Edmund Warner and his associates had become involved in a dispute with Fenwick, about the time of the latter's departure from England, and Edmund Andros, Governor of New York, caused the Proprietor to be thrown into prison late in 1676, where he remained until August, 1677. Assuming that William Warner originally intended to settle in Fenwick's colony, the conditions which existed at New Salem, and the troubles which others were having there, doubtless caused him to change his plans and seek a residence free from turmoil and uncertainty, on the west side of the river.
The name William Warner appears attached to "The Concessions and Agree-
229
WARNER
ments of the Proprietors, Freeholders and Inhabitants of the Province of West New Jersey, in America," a document executed in London, March 3, 1676-7, and subsequently brought to West Jersey and circulated for additional signatures. Perhaps this William Warner was the William Warner, cordwainer and planter, of Alloway's Creek and elsewhere in Salem county, whose wife was Jane, daugh- ter of Samuel Curtice, of Crewkerne, county of Somerset, England, and who had a son Simon Warner,-a name found also among the Warners of the Parish of Blockley.
It may be presumed that the Warners remained in West Jersey, though prob- ably not in Fenwick's colony, at least until September, 1677, as their names are not on the list of taxables who were within the jurisdiction of the Upland Court at that time. There is no mention of any of them on the west side of the river, in any known extant records, until the June term of the Upland Court, 1678, when "William Warner desiering of the Court a grant to take up one hundered acres of Land, The Court granted ye same hee seating & Improoveing ye same according to the Regulacons of his honor the governor ;". The date of this grant has been frequently erroneously stated as April 3, 1678. The mistake arose by the loss of four pages of the original docket covering the end of the April term and the beginning of the June term, so that in the printed record all appears to be the April proceedings, but internal evidence shows that the part after the hiatus belonged to the June proceedings, though the exact day is uncertain.
At a court held March 10, 1679-80, "Upon the Peticon of william warner senior ; The Court doe grant and permitt him to take up on the west syde of this River w.thin the Limits of this Court, Twoo hundered acres of Land, wch : here- tofore hath not ben granted taken up or improved: Provyded the s.d Peticon" : makes prsent Settlement & Improovement thereof according to Lawe Regulacons and orders ;".
The statement of some writers that the first of these grants was located on the west side of the Schuylkill River (and formed part of the plantation called Block- ley) is not warranted by the record. Nor was the second one any more certainly in that place ; "the west syde of this River" referred to the Delaware; the grants were not for lands already seated, but only conferred the right to take up so much land, the selection of site and survey to be made later. Besides, it is very probable that William Warner never located any tracts under the first of these grants, for at a Court held November 12, 1678, Gov. Andros's order was proclaimed declar- ing that those who had obtained grants and not yet seated and improved the lands should forfeit their rights.
The statement that William Warner was the first English settler on Pennsyl- vania soil is not substantiated by the above facts. There were many other English- men living there before Warner appeared at all. Particularly erroneous is the statement of Watson, who in his "Annals of Philadelphia," speaks of Warner's settlement, but the date he gives is obviously too early, and the place of actual settlement is too far out, though the place mentioned was within Warner's pur- chase. "But the chief pioneer must have been Warner, who, as early as the year 1658, had the hardihood to locate and settle the place, now Warner's Willow Grove, on the north side of the Lancaster Road, two miles from the city bridge." But as we have seen, Warner's first grant was obtained in 1678, a date easily con- fused with 1658 on account of the family tradition. Again, we know that War-
