In November, 1683, Henry Tradway and William Warner had a return of survey for 300 acres at "Redbanck alias Bachelours Banck" on the Delaware River, from the mouth of Long Harries Creek to Richard Lawrence's; and by deed of March 2, 1685-6 Thomas Matthews conveyed to William Warner 400 acres on the northeast side of Woodbury Creek, in the Fourth Tenth, part of Matthews' 3/8 share which he purchased November 14 and 15, 1681, of Edward Byllinge and his trustees.
Red Bank appears to have been divided into upper Red Bank and lower Red Bank. It was at the latter place that Tradway and Warner settled in 1683. Long Harries Creek was then "vulgarly called Redbank Creek," but soon came to be known as Woodbury Creek, the name which it now bears.
By deed of April 24, 1697, John Healy, "late of Pennsylvania, now of Ireland, mariner," by his attorneys Charles Saunders and John Duplouvy of Philadelphia, sold William Warner 484 acres on Woodbury Creek, bought of John Test, June 3, 1693. But Warner soon parted with all but 100 acres of this tract, conveying 180 acres of it to James Ward, April 10, 1698, and 204 acres of it to John Tatem by deed of December 1, 1699.
May 25, 1696, William Warner, Thomas Gardiner, of Grovely, Esq., and Joshua Lord, by deed of John Wood, of Woodbury Creek, were conveyed a lot, 100 by 70 feet, near John Wood's dwelling place, to be used as a graveyard by the inhabitants of the county between Gloucester River and Great Mantus Creek.
William Warner was a member of Provincial Assembly from the Fourth Tenth, with Peter Dalboe, May and November, 1685; he was High Sheriff of Gloucester county, May, 1697, and December, 1699; and Justice, May, 1700, and May, 1701.

WARNER
The plantation which Warner had on Woodbury Creek was conveniently acces- sible from the Schuylkill, by means of small boats, and it may be taken for granted that there was much visiting, back and forth, between the Warners of Blockley township, Pennsylvania, and their kindred in Gloucester county, New Jersey. In the will of William Warner of Philadelphia, dated 1703, proved 1706, there is the following reference to his son William: "I give and bequeath unto my son, William Warner the sum of ten Pounds to be paid to him by my Execu- tors within one year after my decease; as also, six bushels of corn each year, for eight years, next after my decease, to wit, three bushels of wheat and three of Rye by my executors." The word "corn" is still generally applied to wheat, rye, oats and barley, in England.
William Warner died about February 16, 1713-14, on which date he was owed debts amounting to £126.10.03, according to the inventory of his personal estate, appraised February 20, 1713-14, by John Ladd, Henry Tredaway (or Tradway) and Richard Bull. This sum included "Dubious Debts" amounting to £37.08.05. His goods and chattels and other personal property, were valued at f266.04.00, in addition, making his entire personal estate £392.14.03, as shown by the inven- tory, which was certified by the executors, June 16, 1714. This included a white servant, Robert Downey, £15., and a negro woman called Ann, £40.10.00.
In his will, dated December 10, 1712, proved June 18, 1714, William Warner left legacies to Ann Hartman, widow, William Tatem, Robert Lord, George Ward, and Nathaniel Chew, "and to my son William Six Shillings," and bequeathed the bulk of his estate to his wife Christian, and children Swen, Isaac, Hannah and Jacob. The executors were his son Swen, wife Christian, Thomas Nixon and Joshua Lord, and the witnesses were Jacob Willis, Elias Rambo and James Whiteall.
Though William Warner's wife is called Christian in his will, her name was doubtless Christina, as it is known that she was of Swedish descent or birth. She was possibly a daughter of Lieut. Swen Schute (or Swann Skuuta), who emigrated to New Sweden with one of the first five Swedish expeditions, and was the officer in command at Fort Elssborgh when John Printz, the Governor, made his second report, dated at Christina, June 20, 1644, and who subsequently took an important part in the affairs of the colony. In recognition of his services to the crown he was granted lands by Queen Christina, August 20, 1653. These were located on the west bank of the Delaware, and extended some distance up the Schuylkill River and Darby Creek, and were almost opposite Red Hook, West New Jersey, where William Warner settled, but they were a short distance further up the Delaware. If Swen Schute settled upon this tract, he and his family were the first white inhabitants of any portion of the site of Philadelphia, as the Dutch grant to the Swansons, at Wickaco, was not made until more than ten years later. The surname of Swen Schute's wife was Christina, it is believed, and by her he had an eldest son Swen Schute, born 1653; a second son John Schute, born September 4, 1654, of "Nitapkung" on the Schuylkill River, who married Armgott -, and had a daughter Christina Schute, born September 4, 1687, who married John Johnson of Philadelphia county; and a daughter Magdalen Schute, born March 25, 1660, who married Peter, son of Peter Gun- nersonn Rambo. Swen and Christina Schute probably had several other children, and it is presumed that one of these, an eldest daughter, Christina Schute, named
238
WARNER
after her mother and also in honor of the Queen of Sweden, was the wife of William Warner.
The late John Clement, in his "Sketches of the First Emigrant Settlers in Newton Township, Old Gloucester County, West New Jersey," (page 329,) states that Walla Swanson of Wickaco in his will dated 1692 gave lands about the mouth of Woodbury Creek to his children, among them "Mary, wife of William Warner;" but the authorities quoted by Clement fail to support his assertion that William Warner had a wife named Mary. This mistake probably arose from Clement's having adopted the very likely supposition that William Warner's son Swen Warner derived his Christian name from his mother's family name, and the circumstances that Walla Swanson, who had a brother Swan Swanson, had 200 acres near Warner's plantation. It is now known, however, that Walla Swanson's daughter Mary died in her minority, doubtless unmarried, whereupon her share of a tract of land in Philadelphia, being an interest which she inherited under her father's will, became vested in her surviving brothers and sisters, as recited in certain deeds dated April 21 and 26, 1709. (Philadelphia Deed Book E 5, pages 346 and 349, mentioned in the Brief of Title to the Old Navy Yard.)
Among William Warner's neighbors was Michael Laican, who had a daughter Christina, born February 17, 1684, (O. S.,) whom he called Christian in his will dated August 17, 1703, proved September 24, 1707. Another daughter was Yearteo (Gertrude) Cock, born December 16, 1675. The inventory of Laican's personal property was made by Peeter Cock and William Warner, November 17, 1704, and there may have been some connection among these families. Michael Laican was born in Sweden in 1644, and married in 1670, Helena -, who was born in 1650. He was a son of Nils Laican, of Sweden, who possibly emi- grated to New Sweden with his sons in 1654 or 1656. The names Nicholas Laycon, Widdow Laycon and Mickall-Laycon are in the list of persons who owed debts to William Warner at the time of his decease. The name Laican or Laycon would have been Nilsson had the Swedish custom been followed of making the Christian name of the father the surname of his children.
Christina Laican was unmarried when her father made his will in 1703, and it is highly improbable that she subsequently became the wife of William Warner. She certainly was not the mother of his eldest children, but in the event of her having been a second wife who survived him, she was young enough to have been the Christian Warner who married John Smith at Christ Church, Philadelphia, December 20, 1731. The most likely explanation of the Christ Church record, however, is that the name Warner should have been Warmer, as a family which bore that name was connected with that congregation, and Christian was a bap- tismal name among them.
In view of the above facts, and as the name Swen was a Christian name among William Warner's descendants for several generations, and as Elizabeth Shute (Schute) was among the relatives and subscribing witnesses at the marriage of one of his family, it may be assumed in absence of further evidence, that William Warner's wife Christian or Christina was a daughter of Swen Schute, and that by their union the blood of the first Swedish and English proprietors of the site of the city of Philadelphia became the common heritage of their descendants.

WARNER
Issue of William and Christian (Schute?) Warner:
Swen Warner, b. 1688, removed to Phila., where he resided until his death, which occurred at the age of 73 years, the records of Phila. Monthly Meeting ( Race street) giving date of his burial at Friends' Burying Ground, Phila., 12mo. (Dec.) 8, 1761 ; m. before 1714 first cousin Esther, dau. of his father's brother, John Warner, of Blockley township, Phila county, who m. Anne Campden. Esther Warner was b. 6mo. (Aug.) 18, 1686, as shown by the records of Haverford (now Radnor) Monthly Meeting, d. April 9, 1740, according to family records kept by son-in-law Philip Syng, in his Bible, buried 7mo. (Sept.) 10, 1740, according to records of Phila. Monthly Meeting (Race street). Swen Warner m. (second), by license dated Feb., 1747, Sarah Hastings, who survived him.
By deed dated Dec. 3, 1723, Swen Warner, of Phila., and John Bayley, of same city, and Hannah, his wife, Swen being "eldest son," and Hannah, a daughter of William Warner, deceased, conveyed to Isaac Warner, of Gloucester county, N. J., land sur- veyed to William Warner; and by deed dated the following day, Isaac Warner and Mary, his wife, conveyed the same property to John Bayley.
Swen Warner and his wife Esther, by deed dated May 12, 1733, conveyed to John Wood, of Gloucester county, N. J., for a consideration of £100, 100 acres (more or less), late the estate and hereditaments of William Warner, deceased, father of Swen Warner.
In his will, written by himself, dated July 2, 1759, proved Dec. 11, 1761, Swen Warner left property to his wife Sarah and children Joseph Warner and Elizabeth Syng. The executors were his son Joseph Warner, his son-in-law Philip Syng, Joseph Stretch and Joseph Norris. The witnesses were James Graisburry (or Graysbury), William Craig and William Colladay.
The children of Swen and Esther (Warner) Warner were :
Isaiah Warner, d. 7mo. (Sept.) 15, 1716;
Elizabeth Warner, b. Jan. 29, 1714-15, m. Philip Syng, Jr., the famous silversmith, and had eighteen children (see forward) ;
Joseph Warner, by license dated Dec., 1747, m. Jan. 2, 1747-8, at Christ Church, Phila., Anne, dau. of James and Mary Graysbury, granddaughter of James Graysbury, ship-carpenter, who came to Phila. from Bermuda in 1682, and set- tled on south side of main branch of Newton Creek, in Gloucester county, N. J., with his brothers Joseph and Benjamin, the following year. Joseph Warner was buried Iomo. (Oct.) 20, 1780, in Friends' Ground ( Race street). His will, signed June 27, 1780, proved Oct. 31, the same year, mentions his wife and chil- dren. The executors were his wife Ann Warner, Joseph Graisbury (or Grays- bury) and Benjamin Paschall; the witnesses were Benjamin Conay and Jacob Mayer. Joseph and Ann (Graysbury) Warner had five children, as follows : Joseph, m. Charity , and had issue, William, Hester and Joseph; Ann, m. Christian Wiltberger, survived her husband, and d. 1805; Mary, m. Joseph Pole; Elizabeth; and Swen.
Swen Warner, son of Joseph and Ann (Graysbury) Warner, b. Dec. 3, 1760, d. Jan. 30, 1799. His body was interred with military honors in Christ Church Ground, near the graves of his relatives, the Syngs and Graysburys (section N, No. 1xi).
In the inscription on his tomb he is referred to as Major Siven Warner, and there are the following lines :
Let undisturb'd his ashes lay Until the joyful sound Shall him awake upon the day When blessed souls are crowned. In strains of perfect harmony The Savior's praises sing, Then, Grave, where is thy victory! Oh Death, where is thy sting!
Major Swen Warner m. (first) Eley Edwards, June 6, 1785, (second) Mary Hawkins, Jan. 17, 1799. He had two sons, Joseph and Mark, who survived him, and a son Alexander and dau. Ann previously buried in Christ Church Yard. Swen Warner buried there July 28, 1831, was doubtless a descendant.
Isaac Warner removed to Phila., m. 9mo. (Nov.) 25, 1714, at Phila. Monthly Meeting (Race street), Mary Salway, sister of Hannah Salway, who m. before 1719, Thomas Skelton. Among subscribing witnesses at Isaac Warner's marriage were Swan War-

ner, John Warner, John Warner, Jr., Isaac Warner, John Warner, William Warner, Hannah Warner and James Kite, including, as will be seen, several of the Phila. cousins.
William Salway, father of Mary (Warner) and Hannah (Skelton), had a removal certificate to Phila., from the Monthly Meeting at Taunton, county Somerset, England, 6mo. (Aug.) 13, 1683, and one from Abington Monthly Meeting, dated 6mo. (Aug.) 22, 1688, to marry Sarah, dau. of Christopher and Mary (Collet) Pennock. Among the "Old Rights" papers in the Land Office were five warrants to William "Salloway," the earliest dated IImo. (Jan. ) 7, 1681-2. He also had land in West Jersey, as Revel's Book of Surveys (page 61) contains a record of 200 acres for Godfrey Hancock, sold to William "Sallaway" Imo. (March), 1684. At a meeting of Provincial Council of Pa., held at Phila., April 27, 1693, William Salway took his place at the board by order of Benjamin Fletcher, Capt. Gen. and Governor. On May 5, 1693, William Salway gave his promise to execute the office of Justice of the Peace "throughout the whole province and Countrey." It was while he was a member of Provincial Council that William Salway was appointed Commissioner to represent Pennsylvania and to meet the commissioners of the neighboring colonies at New York, to concert and agree upon a quota of men and money or other assistance to be given by each colony or province for the defense of the frontier of New York against the French and Indians. The date of his election to this important mission was Oct. 1, 1693. He continued a mem- ber of the Council until his death, 1695.
ELIZABETH WARNER, daughter of Swen and Esther (Warner) Warner, born January 29, 1714, died October 3, 1786; married, February 5, 1730, Philip Syng Jr., silversmith, of Philadelphia, who was born (probably in Ireland,) September 29, 1703. At the age of eleven years he accompanied his father Philip Syng Sr., to a goldsmith, to Philadelphia, arriving in that city September 29, 1714. Philip Syng Jr., was a Warden of Philadelphia, 1753; Treasurer of the City, 1759-69; a founder of Philadelphia Library Company; an original member of American Philosophical Society, inventing an electrical machine and experimenting along with Dr. Franklin, who acknowledges his valuable suggestions and discoveries. Mr. Syng was the promoter of the "Association Battery," organized for the defence of the city 1748. He was Provincial Commissioner of Appeals for Phil- adelphia, under Gov. John Penn, 1765; was a vestryman of Christ Church, 1747-9; and a trustee of the College and Academy of Philadelphia, from its organization 1755, and a member of Franklin's "Junto." He was an original member of the "Colony in Schuylkill," the ancient fishing company organized May I, 1732, now "The Schuylkill Fishing Company of the State in Schuylkill," the name it adopted after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. He took an active interest in the institutions of the city; was a Director of the Hand in Hand Insurance Company, 1752, and one of the signers of the Non-importation Resolutions, 1765. He died May 8, 1789, and is buried at Christ Church. He was a Contributor to the Pennsylvania Hospital, and was Grand Junior Warden of first Masonic Lodge organized in America. He made the silver inkstand used at signing of Declaration of Independence.
.
ESTHER SYNG, daughter of Philip Syng Jr., by his wife Elizabeth Warner, born July 28, 1736, died September 21, 1813; married (first) at Christ Church, April 30, 1762, Samuel, son of Samuel Bunting who came to Philadelphia from England in 1722, by his wife Sarah Fearne; he was born in Philadelphia 1743, died in North Carolina August 20, 1767, and was buried at New Berger Creek, Pasquotank county, North Carolina. Esther (Syng) Bunting married (second) Tobias Rudulph.
William Warner, probably living in Gloucester county, N. J., as late as May 27, 1729, when his name appeared in an account of estate of Henry Tredway, whose will was proved March 6, 1726-7. It seems probable that he was father of Swan Warner, de-

ceased, Tomo. (Dec.) 28, 1758, son of William, according to the records of Phila. Monthly Meeting (Race street). It is possible that he was the William Warner who m. gmo. (Nov.) 25, 1731, at Phila. Monthly Meeting (Race street), Mary, dau. of John Welton, of Southampton township, Bucks county, Pa., witnesses John Welton, Chris- tian Warner, Elizabeth Shute (doubtless Schute), William Robinson and 27 others. William and Mary ( Welton) Warner were not, however, the parents of Swan Warner; Hannah Warner, m. before Dec. 3, 1723, John Bayley, of Phila .;
Jacob Warner, possibly the Jacob Warner whose marriage to Charity Purdy took place at Christ Church, Phila., Sept. 10, 1730, by banns.
PHILIP SYNG BUNTING, son of Samuel and Esther (Syng) Bunting, born in 1763, died September 5, 1822. He married, 1788, Elizabeth Tomkins.
JOSHUA BUNTING, son of Philip Syng and Elizabeth (Tomkins) Bunting, born December 15, 1797, died March 31, 1850. He married, June 6, 1831, Henrietta Barron Wade.
JOSHUA BUNTING, son of Joshua and Henrietta Barron (Wade) Bunting, born December 1, 1837, died December 19, 1882; married Anne Elizabeth Bunting Jones, and they had issue :-
Mabel Syng Bunting, b. at Claymont, Del., Jan. 5, 1869; Joshua Bunting, b. at Claymont, Del., Nov. 26, 1871;
HENRIETTA BUNTING, b. at Claymont, Del., Nov. 20, 1873; m. June 14, 1900, Porter Far- quharson Cope, b. June 14, 1869, in Phila. (see Cope Family) ; they have issue :
Millicent Syng Bunting Cope, b. April 25, 1901;
Loretta Porter Cope, b. Feb. 17, 1905.
Lawrence Bunting, b. at Claymont, Del., May 24, 1880, d. there Jan. 18, 1882.
MARY WARNER, daughter of William Warner, was born in England, and came to America probably in 1675 with her father and other relatives. She married before 1680, James Kite (Keyt, Keyte or Keite). He also probably came from Worcestershire, or from the adjoining county of Gloucester, as the name seems indigenous there. In the baptismal records of Blockley Parish Church, under date of April 26, 1645, appears the name of Zacharius, son of Zachary Kite and Mary Warner ; and in the register of the nearby Parish Church, of Bretfort, is recorded the marriage of Thomas Kitchen and Sarah Keyt, of Blockley, in 1678. William Keyt, Esq., of Ebrington, in Gloucestershire, buried October 12, 1632, "was High Sheriff of the county of Worcester, and rich in good works, as well as in worldly estate, being not only charitable to the poor in his lifetime but also at his death; he ordered the milk of ten cows to be given every year, May 10-Novem- ber I, unto the poor of Ebrington, for ever." He belonged to "an ancient and worshipful family," the members of which bore as their arms "Azure, a cheveron, between three Kites' Heads, eras'd, Or." The statement in an old pedigree (pub- lished in The Literary Era, volume iv., page 212) to the effect that Mary Warner's husband was a son of Sir George Kite, Baronet, Admiral under Oliver Cromwell and Charles II., is probably not correct.
James Kite had a sister Grissel (Griselda) in Philadelphia, who married John Simonds. The latter's will, dated October 2, 1699, proved March 1, 1699-1700, mentions his wife Grizegon, and makes bequests, among others, to kinsman John and kinswoman Grize, children of his "brother James Kite living on west side of Schuylkill," who was also made sole executor.
Mary (Warner ) Kite was buried Imo. (March) 3, 1686-7, at "Skoolkill Buring Place west side," and it is probable that there was an element of tragedy in con-
16
242
WARNER
nection with the causes that led to her death, as at the Friends' Quarterly Meeting held at Philadelphia Imo. (March) 7, 1686-7, it was "reported to this meeting concerning the necessity of James Kite, he having received of late great damage by fire," and at a Monthly Meeting held 3mo. (May) 27, 1687, "Thomas Duckett & Henry Lewis having made Enquiry into James Kite's necessity, make Report to this meeting that his condition is very low, and his loss according to their infor- mation about £60." The records of this and several later meetings show that Friends throughout the county, and elsewhere, subscribed freely to Kite's relief; and his receipts for the sums paid him were reported to the Quarterly Meeting held at Philadelphia Imo. (March) 5, 1687-8. He gradually retrieved his for- tunes, and in the tax list dated September 26, 1693, his property beyond Schuyl- kill was valued at £40, on which he was assessed to pay 3 shillings, 4 pence.
Mary (Warner) Kite having died before the date of her father's will, was not mentioned in it ; but the will contained bequests to her husband and two sons. After her death James Kite married (second) 3mo. (May) 13, 1698, Martha, widow of Daniel Medlicott, of Merion, Philadelphia county. At the head of the names of relatives, on their marriage certificate, is the name John "Simandes" (Simonds). Daniel Medlicott's certificate of removal dated 2mo. (April) 16, 1683, from the Monthly Meeting at Salop, England, was received at Philadelphia Monthly Meeting 9mo. (November) 4, 1684. James Kite was buried 9mo. (No- vember ) 6, 1713, according to the records of Race Street Monthly Meeting. Mar- tha, his widow, married (third) 8mo. (October) 13, 1715, Jonathan Cockshall (or Cogshall).
The Kite family which descended from Mary Warner has long been prominent in West Philadelphia, and its members have intermarried with many other noted families of Blockley Township and vicinity, among them the Sellers family of "Sellers' Hall" in Upper Darby.
Issue of James and Mary (Warner ) Kite :-
James Kite, Jr., b. Iomo. (Dec.) 12, 1682; lived in Phila; inherited the 100 acres on the south side of Blockley plantation which William Warner had devised to James Kite, Sr., and conveyed same, Jan. 18, 1717 (o. s.), to his cousin Isaac Warner, son of William Warner; d. unm., buried in Friends' Grave Yard at Merion, 5mo. (July) 31, 1745;
Abraham Kite, b. Iomo. ( Dec.) 19, 1685, d. Oct., 1748; m. 7mo. (Sept.) 9, 1708, Mary, dau. of Thomas and Elizabeth Peters, of the celebrated family of that name, whose estate of Belmont lay about a mile above Blockley, on the Schuylkill. Abraham Kite was buried in Friends' Grave Yard at Merion, 9mo. (Nov.) 9, 1748. Mary, his widow, was buried at same place 12mo. (Feb.) 12, 1750-51 ;
Grizzel Kite, by Friends' authorization dated 12mo. (Feb.) 26, 1706 (o. s.), m. Samuel Lewis;
John Kite, d. young, May 25, 170I.
ROBERT WARNER, son of William Warner, was born in England, probably before 1668, and if he came to America with his father and other relatives in 1675, it seems likely that he returned to his native land, as by his father's will, dated September 8, 1703, he was bequeathed two houses in Draycott, Robert Warner paying "unto my brother, Isaac Warner, five Pounds Sterling money of England, or to his assigns."
The records of Blockley Parish Church contain the names of a number of chil- dren of "Robert and Sarah Warner," as follows:
Robert Warner, bap. Jan. 12, 1690; probably d. inf., as another Robert was bap. later; Anne Warner, bap. Oct. 10, 1692; doubtless the "Ann Warner of Draycott" who m.

William Minchin, in 1714, according to register of Blockley Parish Church, and whose remains lie buried in Blockley Church Yard, her grave having borne the following inscription : "Anne Minchin, relict of William Minchin, died February 23, 1773, at the age of 80 years;"
Maria Warner, bap. Aug. 4, 1695;
Ellenor Warner, bap. May 23, 1697;
Robert Warner, bap. April 8, 1700; probably d. inf., like the first Robert, as another Robert was bap. later;
Isaac Warner, bap. June 22, 1701 ; believed to have been the Isaac Warner who came to America probably about 1725, d. in Phila. soon after his arrival. By his will, dated Jan. 17, 1725-6, and proved at Phila. March 8, following, he devised all his lands in Parish of Blockley, England, to his sister Anne Minchin, of Blockley, and also the accumulated rents of houses in Draycott, the title to which he devised to his sister Mary Warner, of Blockley. To his "Cousin Mary Warner" residing with him in Phila., he devised all his personal estate in Phila., and also that that had been sent to sea, and he made her the executrix of his will.
