WARNER
ner's house was only a few hundred feet back from the river, just north of the present Girard avenue, while the spot indicated by Watson was the residence of a much later Warner, and was no doubt the house marked "Warner" on Ellet's map of 1839, on the southwest side of Lancaster Road, about half a mile east of Hes- tonville, and so about two miles from Market street bridge, the "city bridge" of Watson.
The estate which Warner called Blockley was part of a large purchase made by him and others direct from the Indians, and not obtained by grant from the Up- land Court, though the Court had to be appealed to for collection of some of the purchase money. On June 14, 1681, the Court, upon the request of William War- ner and William Orian, ordered that the several people who held lands which the petitioners had bought of the Indians, lying on the Schuylkill, repay to the petitioners their proportion of the 335 guilders which Warner and Orian had paid for the whole; the following persons holding the lands within the limits of the purchase : Andries Inckoren, 200 acres; Andries Homman, 200 acres; Pelle Laersen alias Put Pelle, 100 acres ; Peter Erikson, 200 acres ; William Warner, 100 acres; Will- iam Orian, 100 acres ; John Booles and John Schoeten, 400 acres ; and Swen Lom, 300 acres ; making in all 1600 acres. Reed, in the Explanation to his Map ( Phila- delphia, 1774,), calculated the amount of the "Swedes' land" actually laid out on the west side of the Schuylkill by about 1683 to have been 1506 acres. Of the original purchase from the Indians, Warner's share was only 100 acres, as above recited, but it will be seen that he and his family eventually obtained much more than this, his main plantation on the river having been 300 acres in extent, and his lands further inland over 200, while his son John had 100 acres on the river, all shown on Reed's Map as having been within this purchase. This may be ex- plained by the very likely supposition that some of the original subscribers did not pay their proportion, and that Warner and his son John took up their shares. It was land so obtained that constituted the estate Warner called Blockley, by patent of 1702 stated to be about 300 acres. This was confirmed to Warner by Penn's Commissioners of Property, at whose meeting 12mo. (February) 23, 1701 (o. s.), a warrant was signed for him, it being shown that he had settled on a tract of land on the Schuylkill before the grant of the Province (to Penn), which tract was re- puted 300 acres, and he craving a resurvey so that if it prove deficient it may be made out of the adjoining, according to the Proprietor's promise. At the meeting 3mo. (May) 4, 1702, William Warner, having obtained a resurvey, and survey of the deficiency, of 300 acres of land in Blockley township, produced a return of it, and a patent for it was granted him, which was signed 3mo. (May) 19, 1702.
Among the Old Rights papers in the Land Office were: No. 215, a warrant for William Warner for 200 acres, dated 4mo. (June) 19, 1684; No. 47, a return of 200 acres of his land, dated July 12, 1684; and No. 46, a description of his 288 acres in Philadelphia county, not dated. The latter is undoubtedly his Blockley estate, showing a deficiency of 12 acres; the other two papers were doubtless for the same land, the 200 acres being more or less, as shown by a recital from the patent (the patent itself not being extant so far as known), in a deed from Will- iam Warner, grandson of the original William and wife, to their son Isaac, dated January 17, 1758, to the effect that the Commissioners of Property by patent of May 18, 1702, had granted to William Warner, of Blockley township, 300 acres in said township, in two pieces, one of about 200 acres more or less, and the other of
231
WARNER
12 acres and 40 perches. (The 200 acres more or less should have been 288 to make up 300 acres).
The value of William Warner's lands beyond Schuylkill, September 26, 1693, the date of the first general tax list for the county of Philadelphia, was f120, according to the report of the Assessor, Thomas Paschall, Junior. On this the tax was 10 shillings. As John Warner's lands were valued at £40, in the same list, it is evident that he held one-third as much land in value, and doubtless in extent, as William. John's tax was 3 shillings, 4 pence.
By his will, William Warner, besides the Blockley estate proper, devised 200 acres of "backward land" (also mentioned in the inventory), and an uncertain quantity of meadow attached to it, which lay to the northwest of the main planta- tion, but not adjoining, which included the site of Hestonville; and another 100 acres where his son-in-law James Kite lived, presumably adjoining the home- stead. Whether some of these were taken up under the old grants from the Up- land Court, or were later purchased from previous settlers, remains unknown, as deeds or patents for them are missing. The "backward land" is stated in a deed of James Kite to Isaac Warner, January 18, 1717 (o. s.), to have been 269 acres.
Warner's estate, including Blockley, stretched from the Schuylkill River half way to Cobb's Creek, some distance north of Haverford Road (now Haverford avenue) and on both sides of Lancaster avenue and of the main line of the Penn- sylvania Railroad, including a great part of Blockley township, now the northern part of West Philadelphia (24th and 34th Wards). It embraced the site of the old village of Hestonville, situated around 52nd street where it is crossed by Lan- caster avenue. Blockley township, originally laid out by another name, was soon renamed after Warner's plantation.
On June 14, 1681 (the same day the payment for the Indian lands was ordered), the Upland Court granted to the following persons the quantity of land men- tioned : Reynier Petersen, 200 acres ; Andries Boon, 200 acres, William Warner, Senior, 400 acres ; Richard Tucker, 100 acres, Otto Ernest Koch, 400 acres, Lionel Brittain, 200 acres ; and Jan Claassen, 200 acres. These were separate grants, and not necessarily all in any one locality. Reynier Petersen had 125 acres, partly in Chester and partly in New Castle county, July 26, 1695; Andries Swanson Boon had in 1688 a tract in Darby of 250 acres, laid out for Andries Boon as 200 acres in 1680, and he and Otto Ernest Koch had many separate tracts in Darby and Kingsessing by 1688; Richard Tucker had a tract on both sides of Darby Creek surveyed in 1690; but which of these came under the above grants is now uncer- tain. Lionel Brittain and Jan Claassen located theirs in Bucks county. William Warner probably sold his rights under this grant, as none of his known holdings can be traced to it.
William Warner was Under Sheriff (or as now called, Deputy Sheriff), of the county of Upland in 1679 and 1680, probably succeeding Michael Yzard, who was spoken of as "Late undersherrife" on November 25, 1679. From the fact that he was then mentioned simply as William Warner, and elsewhere as William War- ner, "Senior," some writers have inferred that it was his son William who was Under Sheriff, but such was not the case, as the son resided in Gloucester county, New Jersey ; moreover, the "Senior" was omitted in some other places.
It was when William Markham assumed the government as Penn's Deputy Governor that Warner became most prominent politically. Arriving probably
232
WARNER
late in June, 1681, Markham proceeded to appoint Council to assist him in admin- istering the affairs of the newly established Province of Pennsylvania; and of the nine members so chosen, who took the oath of office August 3, 1681, William War- ner was one. A fac-simile of the oath with signatures attached, is to be found in the edition of the "Duke of York's Laws," published by the State of Pennsyl- vania, 1879. The capital of the Province was established at Upland, its name being changed to Chester, and on September 13, 1681, Markham reorganized the Upland Court, as the Chester Court, by commissioning a new set of Justices. William Warner was one of these. He was also a member of the second Pro- vincial Assembly, which met at Philadelphia March 10, 1683-4.
William Warner was living on his plantation west of the Schuylkill River at least as early as 6mo. (August) 24, 1684, when he was one of the subscribing wit- nesses at the marriage of Paul Saunders and Edith Hand, which was under care of Haverford (now Radnor) Monthly Meeting. The region was then covered by a stately forest, the growth of centuries, and "great quantities of rabbits, squirrels, pheasants, partridges, and others of the same kind" continued to infest the dense wilds for many years thereafter. In the midst of these primitive surroundings Warner resided until his death, which occurred probably early in October, 1706. His house, the first, perhaps, erected west of the Schuylkill, was situated a short distance north of Girard avenue, in that portion of the West Park which is called "Eglesfeld." Near by was the landing place from which, according to a family tradition, he rowed out in his boat with his guns, to a rock near the bank of the river, where he fished and shot ducks,-his large dog usually accompanying him and recovering the birds. Warner's Rock, the point alluded to, is no longer visible since the building of the dam at Fair Mount.
By his will, dated September 8, 1703, proved at Philadelphia October 18, 1706, William Warner left a life interest in half the Blockley estate to his wife Anne, also a life interest in half of his "backward meadow," and some personal estate; to his son John Warner he left 100 acres of his "backward land" and the half of the meadow belonging to said "backward land" (that is, to the whole of it, not half of the 100 acres only), also 20 pounds and the use of some implements, etc. ; to his son Isaac Warner, 50 acres of "backward land" without any meadow (all the meadow being disposed of above), also half the plantation (Blockley), and on his mother's death the balance of the plantation and of the meadow left to her above, at Isaac's death all these to go to Isaac's eldest son; to Isaac also, some personal estate, and the use of some implements ; to his son William Warner, 10 pounds and an annual allowance for eight years, of three bushels of wheat and three of rye; to his son-in-law James Kite, 50 acres of "backward land" without any meadow, and 100 acres where Kite then dwelt, for life, and after his decease to whichever of his sons-James or Abraham-he should nominate (this land having been on the Schuylkill south of and adjoining the Blockley estate) ; to his son Rob- ert Warner, two houses in Draycott, Worcestershire, England, he paying the testator's brother Isaac Warner "five Pounds Sterling money of England ;" and he ordained his wife Anne and son Isaac executrix and executor. Thus the principal plantation, Blockley, was left a life interest, half of it to his wife Anne and half to his son Isaac, and after his wife's decease, a life interest in the whole to his son Isaac, the whole eventually to descend to his grandson, the eldest son of Isaac (who was William Warner, the "Baron," of whom hereafter).

According to the records of Blockley Parish Church, "William Warner and Mary George were married on the 6th of November, 1642;" and if William, son of John and Margaret Warner, was not an infant at the time of his baptism, July 8, 1627, he may have been the William who was Mary George's husband, in which case she was his first wife, as the maiden name of William Warner's wife who survived him was Anne Dide (or Dyde).
William and Mary (George) Warner had six children baptized at Blockley Parish Church, as follows :
Jane Warner, bap. July 16, 1643; Henrie Warner, bap. April 8, 1646; John Warner, bap. March 16, 1646-7; Samuel Warner, bap. Jan. 20, 1650-51 ; William Warner, bap. Oct. 9, 1653;
Alice Warner, bap. Dec. 23, 1657.
William and Anne (Dide) Warner were probably Puritans or Independents for a time, if he was in the Parliamentary Army ; but some of his children married Quakers, and later generations were mostly members of the Society of Friends.
William Warner's children mentioned in his will were :-
JOHN WARNER, m. Anne Campden; of whom presently ; WILLIAM WARNER, m. Christian -; of whom hereafter;
MARY WARNER, m. James Kite; of whom hereafter; ROBERT WARNER, probably m. Sarah -; of whom hereafter; ISAAC WARNER, m. Anne Craven; of whom hereafter.
According to a tradition recorded by one of his descendants, John Warner (2) was born in 1649. If this statement is correct, Anne Dide was probably the only wife of his father William Warner (1), but if John was the John Warner baptized in 1646, Mary George was the mother of John and William, and possibly of Mary and Robert, while Anne Dide was probably the mother of Isaac, who was the most favored child in his father's will.
Note .- The Warners of the Parish of Blockley, Worcestershire, England, were not the only persons bearing the Warner name who settled in Philadelphia at an early period. as shown by the following facts :
Edmund (or Edmond) Warner, citizen and poulterer of London, whose transactions with Major John Fenwick and possible relationship to the Warners of Blockley have been mentioned previously, married, 9mo. (November) 14, 1671, Rachel Middleton, at Peel Monthly Meeting, according to Friends' records preserved at Devonshire House, London. He had a warrant for a city lot in Philadelphia, 3mo. (May) 29, 1683, but died in less than a year thereafter, as letters of administration on his estate were granted at Philadelphia to Silas Crispin, 12mo (February) 7, 1683-4. About a year later, 10mo. (December) 2, 1684, the Philadelphia Monthly Meeting took under consideration the business of Edmund Warner's widow, and recommended that William Clark, William Berry and William Southerby be appointed for administrators, "that the said widow and children may not suffer for want of Relief, and her Estate run to Ruin for want of looking after." On the 19th of the same month, William Bury, "desiering to take out Letters of Administracon upon the estate of Edmond Warner deceased As also by the approbation and appointment of friends of Phila- delphia," was granted letters of administration on his estate by William Clark, Deputy Register of the counties of Sussex and Kent, in Delaware. Letters of administration on Edmund Warner's estate in New Jersey were granted April 6, 1688, to James Nevill, as attorney of Nathaniel Lowe, of the Parish of St. James, "Clarbonwell" ( Clerkenwell), county of Middlesex, England, innholder, jointly with whom "Edmund Warner late of the P'vince of Pennsiluania deceased" was bound for the payment of £50 to Thomas Arrow- smith, of the Parish of Northweald Bassett, county of Essex, England, which the latter had been paid by Nathaniel Lowe as security for Edmund Warner. Rachel, widow of Edmund

WARNER
Warner, married (second) Henry Jones, of Philadelphia, merchant, Imo. (March) 8, 1687. Nothing is known of the descendants of Edmund and Rachel (Middleton) Warner, except that they had a son Edmund Warner buried 6mo. (August) 29, 1694, according to the records of Philadelphia Monthly Meeting ( Race street).
Several other families of Warners settled in Philadelphia early in the eighteenth century, one from Bristol, Gloucestershire, England; one from Maryland, and one from Germany, which got the name by adopting it.
JOHN WARNER, eldest son of William Warner, was born in England, in 1649, according to a family tradition, in which case Anne Dide (or Dyde) was probably his mother ; but if he was the John Warner who was baptized at Blockley Parish Church March 16, 1646 (o. s.), his mother's maiden name was Mary George, as heretofore shown. He came to America in 1675, probably, with his father and other relatives, and located land on the west side of the Schuylkill River, above his father's Blockley estate, and separated from it by William Orian's tract. This was no doubt part of the purchase of his father and others from the Indians in 1681, which John obtained by paying for an unpaid interest, though there are no known papers extant which show this to be a fact. John Warner's tract should have been 100 acres, but the return of survey quoted in the "Explanation to Reed's Map" gave it as 93 acres, and the tract as shown on Reed's Map is called 94 acres. On the same map is shown, in his name, a smaller tract, to the north of, but not directly adjoining, the western part of this ; no quantity given, but appar- ently about 20 acres. John Warner afterwards acquired William Orian's tract of about 94 acres between his own land and his father's estate of Blockley. In the Schuylkill River, on the line between John Warner and William Orian, was an island of 12 acres (the island now just below the Belmont Water Works), belong- ing half to each, making up their quota of 100 acres each. John Warner acquired Orian's share in the island also. He had thus 200 acres on the Schuylkill next above the Blockley plantation. His father also left him 100 acres of his "back- ward land" (described above) near Hestonville, with the proportional share of meadow which belonged to it, in all about 135 acres.
John Warner was a member of Provincial Assembly, 1713-14-15. He resided on his plantation on the Schuylkill until his death, living in the style of a gentle- man of landed estate of that time ; and he built there a large log house which con- tinued in the possession of his descendants until 1799, in which year it was torn down by his grandson Col. Edward Warner Heston. The massive timbers were then found in such an excellent state of preservation, that Col. Heston utilized them in the construction of his own house the following year, and they were still in fair condition when this building was demolished, 1901.
John Warner died 2mo. (April) 12, 1717. By his will, dated September 17, 1716, proved May 20, 1717, he directed his plantation to be divided equally be- tween his sons William Warner and Isaac Warner; to his son John Warner he left the 100 acres of "Back Land where he now lives, with all the meadow and wood" belonging to it (which John Warner, Senior, inherited from his father William Warner), John paying 10 pounds to the testator's daughter "Margaret Roades ;" to his daughters, Mary Warner, Esther Warner, Sarah Warner and Jane Warner, and his son Joseph Warner, all stocks on the plantation, household goods, etc .; and the executors were his "son Swen Warner," John Warner and Mary Warner. It has long been taken for granted that this "son Swen Warner" was John Warner's eldest son, already provided for, and so not otherwise men-
235
WARNER
tioned in his will, and this has been a source of confusion in accounts of the fam- ily, but it is now known that he was not a son but a son-in-law, and also a nephew, having been the husband of John Warner's daughter Esther, and the son of John Warner's brother, William Warner, of Gloucester county, New Jersey.
John Warner married Anne Campden. Her surname suggests that her family was of Chipping-Campden, where some of the Warners were prominent, a town situated about three miles beyond the limits of the Parish of Blockley. According to the records of Philadelphia Monthly Meeting (Race street) she was buried 5mo. (July) 19, 1715.
Issue of John and Anne (Campden) Warner :-
Edward Warner, b. 8mo. (Oct.) 29, 1680, according to records of Haverford (now Radnor) Monthly Meeting, which give the dates of birth of four eldest children of John and Anne Warner; probably the Edward Warner who was a witness to John Warner's will Sept. 17, 1716, though not otherwise mentioned in it, possibly for the reason that, as his eldest son, he had already been provided for. Presumed to have d. before Feb. 15, 1723 (o. s.), as in a deed of that date (Phila., Book H, 15, page 190), from his uncle Isaac Warner, and Abraham Kite, to his brother John Warner, of whom hereafter; John Warner is described as eldest son of John Warner, eldest son of William Warner (doubtless meaning eldest living son).
If evidence furnished by the above-mentioned deed is to be accepted as conclusive, this Edward Warner could not have been the Edward Warner who was "living at James Poultis's in the Second street in Philadelphia" in July, 1723, who was after- wards one of the earliest elected members of the Carpenters' Co., and member of Provincial Assembly continuously for nineteen years, 1735-1754 (see The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, vol. i., pp. 358-9) ;
Margaret Warner, b. Imo. (March) 23, 1683-4; m. Jacob Rhoads, b. Feb. 16, 1670-71, son of John and Elizabeth Rhoads, and had five children, viz .: Jacob; Margaret, d. 7mo. (Sept.) 25, 1741; Abraham, b. about 1706, d. 1746, m. 7mo. (Sept.) 24, 1733, Eleanor, b. 8mo. (Oct.) 7, 1708, dau. of John and Hannah Rees; Isaac; Anne, m. Nov. 24, 1729, William, son of William Coulston, of Plymouth Meeting. Among the living descend- ants of Abraham and Eleanor ( Rees) Rhoads are Charles Woods Coulston, Esq., and Samuel Castner, Jr., of Phila .;
Mary Warner, b. Iomo. (Dec.) 3, 1684; unm. in 1716;
ESTHER WARNER, b. 6mo. (Aug.) 18, 1686; m. her first cousin, Swen Warner, son of her uncle William Warner, of Gloucester county, N. J .; see forward;
Sarah Warner, b. 1688; unm. in 1716;
John Warner, b. 9mo. (Nov.) 26, 1689, according to a pedigree compiled by Silas Warner, of Harford county, Maryland, in which all the children of John and Anne Warner are mentioned, except Edward. This would make John the eldest son, agreeing with the deed of 1723, previously cited; but as has been shown, he was not the eldest son; see Edward Warner.
John Warner m. 8mo. (Oct.) 20, 1715, Mary, b. 12mo. (Feb.) 12, 1694-5, d. Imo. (March) II, 1782-3, dau. of John Kirk, of Darby township, Chester county, Pa., who m. Joan, of the same place, dau. of Peter Elliott. He was buried 9mo. (Nov.) 19, 1748, in Friends' Grave Yard, at Merion Meeting House, and letters of administration on his estate were granted at Phila., Nov. 26, of same year, to his widow Mary and Jacob Heston.
John and Mary (Kirk) Warner had eight children, as follows: Mary, m. IImo. (Jan.) II, 1739-40, Jacob Heston, of Wrightstown, Bucks county, Pa., b. May 20, 1713, son of Zebulon and Dorothy Heston, and their son Edward Warner Heston was Lieutenant-Colonel in the Revolution and founder of the ancient village of Heston- ville, and d. in 1824, aged 78 years; Edward, probably the Edward Warner buried 9mo. (Nov.) II, 1749, in Friends' Grave Yard, at Merion Meeting House; Sarah, m. Thomas Pollin; Elizabeth; Esther, m. Iomo. (Dec.) 7, 1748, Joseph Lacey, of Buckingham, Bucks county, Pa .; Joseph, m.

Joseph Warner, b. 2mo. (April) 15, 1701, d. 1746; m. 2mo. (April) 16, 1723, Agnes Croasdale; settled in Wrightstown township, Bucks county, Pa., and was founder of Warner family of that county. Joseph and Agnes (Croasdale) Warner had nine children, as follows: John, b. 12mo. (Feb.) 16, .1723-4; Mary, b. IImo. (Jan.) 28. 1725-6; Joseph, b. IImo. (Jan.) 10, 1727-8; Croasdale, b. 12mo. ( Feb.) 5, 1729-30; Ruth. b. 8mo. (Oct.) 8, 1732; Abraham, b. 7mo. (Sept.) 14, 1735; Sarah, b. IImo. (Jan.) 7, 1737-8; Nancy, b. gmo. (Nov.) 28, 1741, d. Nov. 28, 1829; and Thomas, b. Iomo. (Dec.) 6, 1746, d. Feb. 19, 1821.
WILLIAM WARNER, son of William Warner, was possibly the William Warner whose mother's maiden name was Mary George, and who was baptized at Block- ley Parish Church October 9, 1653, as already stated ; but it seems more likely that his mother was Anne Dide (or Dyde) or an earlier wife of his father of whom we have no knowledge. In any event he was born in England, doubtless before 1656, and came to America, probably in 1675 with his father and other relatives. He was a landowner in West Jersey at least as early as April 1, 1677, as evidenced by a receipt of that date from Thomas Pearson and Joseph Helmsley, for the pur- chase money. On March 24, 1681-2, William Warner, who was then of "Red- hooke," West Jersey, gave a memorandum of deed for 1-24 share in the First Tenth, to William Beard of Mansfield, this being part of the share bought of Pearson and Helmsley.
