As there is no mention of a wife or children in Isaac Warner's will, and as he was doubtless about twenty-five years of age at the time of his death, it is evident that he was unmarried. His "Cousin Mary Warner," residing with him, may have been his first cousin Mary, dau. of John and Anne (Campden) Warner, who was forty-two years of age at the time of his death, or less probably was his first cousin once removed, Mary, dau. of his great-uncle Edward Warner, brother of William Warner, or some other more remote relative;

Robert Warner, bap. Sept. 24, 1703; apparently third son of that name.

The recurrence of the name Robert in the above list was probably due to the decease in infancy of the first and second sons, but it is possible that another Rob- ert Warner, of Draycott, who was the son of Edward and Mary, may also have had a wife Sarah, and have been the father of some of the children mentioned above.

ISAAC WARNER, son of William Warner, was possibly the youngest son, though his father made him heir to his principal landed estate. He was born in England, doubtless before 1670, and came to America probably in 1675 with his father and other relatives. By his father's will he inherited on the death of his mother, whose maiden name was Anne Dide (or Dyde), the whole of the plantation called "Blockley," consisting of 300 acres on the west side of the Schuylkill River (in two pieces, 288 acres in one, and 12 acres and 40 perches in another ) ; also fifty acres of the "backward land" and half of all the "backward meadow" (about 35 acres) ; these last, however, were only to be held by him for life, and were to descend to his eldest son. Isaac Warner added to these tracts by purchase 50 acres on the Schuylkill, being 44 acres of mainland and 6 acres on an island which he bought of his brother John Warner, which was originally part of William Orian's share in the Indian purchase previously mentioned ; 16 acres on the west side of the Schuylkill River in the Liberties of Philadelphia, adjoining Isaac Warner's other lands, bought of John Powell (no doubt part of the "Powelton" estate) ; 9 acres in Kingsessing township, Philadelphia county (but formerly called 6 acres and 60 perches), adjoining Widow Rambo's and Capt. Roach's lands, bought of John Powel October 15, 1700; 100 acres adjoining Blockley, bought January 18, 1717, from his cousin James Kite, Jr., inherited by the latter from Isaac's father Williamn Warner, who was the grandfather of James Kite, Jr .; and 67 acres bought of Philip Howell, near to or adjoining the Blockley plantation.

Isaac Warner died 2mo. (April) 10, 1727. By his will dated April 6, 1727, proved May 6, 1727, he left his wife Anne Warner the plantation of 100 acres bought of James Kite, Jr., with the dwelling house on it, etc., during her life if she should so long remain a widow, and after her death or marriage to his son

John Warner ; the 67 acres bought of Philip Howell he also devised to his wife, and after her death or marriage, to his son Isaac Warner; to his son William Warner he devised the 50-acre tract bought of Daniel Pegg (really of John War- ner) and 16 acres bought of John Powell and 9 acres in Kingsessing township, adjoining the estates of Widow Rambo and Capt. Roach; to his sons John Warner and Isaac Warner, he devised the meadow lying against "Persion," containing about 30 acres, to be divided between them equally; to his wife Anne Warner he bequeathed a negro woman Sarah; to his son William Warner, a negro boy Cuffe and a negro man Fortune, William paying yearly to his mother Anne Warner three pounds during her life or widowhood; to his son John Warner, a negro boy Sambo; to his son Isaac Warner, a negro boy Primus; to his daughter Esther Humphreys, a negro girl Hagar ; to his daughter Hannah Warner, a negro girl Zilpha ; and cattle, money, etc., he bequeathed to his wife, son William, and daugh- ters Esther, Hannah and Anne, with the residue to his wife for life or widowhood, and then to his four daughters, Mary, Esther, Hannah and Anne. The executors were his wife Anne and son William Warner.

Isaac Warner and Anne Craven were authorized to marry, by Philadelphia Monthly Meeting, Iomo. (December) 30, 1692. She was probably a daughter of James Craven, a native of Limerick, Ireland, who, it is supposed, was granted 1,000 acres of land by William Penn, May 3-4, 1682, and whose name appears in several warrants and returns of survey of later date. James Craven, with others, had a patent dated 12mo. (February) 24, 1700 (o. s.), for 100 acres of Liberty Lands, in West Philadelphia, on Mill Creek, adjoining Benjamin Chambers and John Penington's lands, and lying some distance back of Blockley plantation, though in Blockley township, near Haverford Road, in what was afterwards called the Valley of West Philadelphia.

The will of Anne Warner, of Blockley township, widow of Isaac, who survived her husband about twenty-seven years, was dated IImo. (January) 23, 1746-7, and proved October 17, 1754. By it she devised to her son William Warner three pounds out of the annual sum he was to pay her for the negro man named Tom Fortune, under his father's will; to her son John Warner, rents due her from him for her plantation at Schuylkill, 3mo. (May), 1745; to her son Isaac Warner, twenty shillings and the stone house she had built at a great charge of trouble, on the land that was to go to him at her death, by her husband's will; to her daugh- ter Anne Wynne, a feather bed, etc .; and the residue of her estate she divided among her four daughters Mary, Esther, Hannah and Anne. Her son-in-law Richard George, of Merion, in the county of Philadelphia, was named as the sole executor. The witnesses were Hugh Evans and Edward William.

Anne (Warner) Wynne d. after April 9, 1788, the date of her will, but before 19th of same month, when her husband d. on same day her will was proved.

WILLIAM WARNER, eldest son of Isaac and Anne (Craven) Warner, in- herited the Blockley plantation and other lands under the will of his grand- father William Warner, as well as lands under his father's will, all of which he and his wife conveyed to their son Isaac Warner by deed of gift dated January 17, 1758. The "History of the Schuylkill Fishing Company of the State in Schuylkill," (the oldest social club in the world, which was known as "The Colony in Schuylkill" until October 1I, 1782), states that William Warner was a member of the Colony from the date of its inception, May I, 1732, and says in regard to him: "He granted the Company the right to build the Court House or Castle on his property, and gave for the use of the members about an acre of ground. For this favor 'the lord of the soil,' who was dubbed by the citizens of the Colony in Schuylkill, Baron Warner, received in the month of June three sun perch, which were carried to his house on the large Penn Platter." This history also says, erroneously, that he married Mary, daughter of John Welton, Septem- ber 25, 1731, and that he died September 12, 1794. But the William Warner who married Mary Welton was another William, possibly a son of William Warner, of Gloucester county, New Jersey.

"Baron" William Warner's will, dated April 19, 1762, was proved September 13, 1766, doubtless within a few days after his death. By it he devised to his wife about 50 acres in Blockley township "on which premises I now Intend to Build a House," to her for life or widowhood, and then to his youngest son William War- ner (the balance of his land having been previously conveyed to his eldest son Isaac Warner, by the deed of 1758) ; he gave his old negro man called Cuff his freedom, and gave his other negroes Nann, Primus, Sam, Virgil, Cuff, Sarah, Zilpha and Lucy, to his wife and children ; and left legacies to his daughters Bar-

bara, Catherine and Anne. William Warner's wife Anne and son William were named as executors, and the will was witnessed by Rebecca Humphreys, Edward Humphreys and Charles Humphreys.

The family name and ancestry of Anne, wife of William Warner, are not known, neither has the date of her death been ascertained.

In the first of these deeds there is a reference to "a Run or Rivulet of Water passing through the said Land;"

ISAAC WARNER, eldest son of William Warner, the "Baron" of the Fishing Company of "The Colony in Schuylkill," acquired the original Blockley estate and much other land by deed of gift and sale from his father and mother, January 17, 1758. He was admitted a member of the Colony May 1, 1748, and upon the death of his father in 1766 he succeeded him as "lord of the soil" on which the "Castle" was built, and became second "Baron." After the Revolution the Fishing Com- pany was reorganized as the "new State in Schuylkill" and the office of "Baron" was discontinued, but on October II, 1782, when the old code of laws was amend- ed so as to be adapted to the altered circumstances of affairs of government, it was resolved that "Isaac Warner be during his natural life Chief Warden of the Castle and its dependencies, who shall have a seat and vote in Council, and shall be entitled to all the privileges of a member of this State."

At the outbreak of the Revolution Isaac Warner was a member of Haverford (now Radnor) Monthly Meeting, but he conceived it his duty to take part in measures for the defense of his native soil against invasion by the British army, and became active among the "associators." This led to his being disowned by the Society of Friends, 5mo. (July) 10, 1776, for persisting in the practice of bearing arms. Early in 1777 he was commissioned Lieutenant-Colonel of the Seventh Battalion, Philadelphia County Militia, and later in the same year he became Colo- nel of the battalion, and took an active part in the operations for the defense of Philadelphia, in September. He also rendered important service to the patriot cause as Deputy Commissary General of Forage and in other useful capacities.

Isaac Warner married Lydia Coulton, license for their marriage having been issued August 25, 1757, in New Jersey, though both the contracting parties were Pennsylvanians. She was then a member of Darby Monthly Meeting. Col. War- ner died 1794, and was buried September 20 of that year. His will, dated July 9, 1794, was proved November 20 following. In it he left bequests of personal

property to his wife Lydia and daughters Tacy Roberts and Lydia Cress, and of cash to his grandsons John Roberts, Isaac Roberts and John Cress; to his son William Warner he gave his black boy Joe, part of the Blockley plantation, land bought at Sheriff's sale of Thomas Proctor, and part of his tract in Kingsessing township ; and to his sons Joseph Warner and John Warner he devised the re- mainder of his Blockley estate and of the Kingsessing tract, also a lot in Northern Liberties bought of Andrew Supplee. Lydia (Coulton) Warner, widow of Col. Isaac Warner, died August 9, 1797. Her will, dated March 10, 1798, was proved January 18, 1800.

Ten years previous to his death, by deed dated July 20, 1784, Col. Warner and Lydia his wife, for a consideration of £1039 .10 .10, conveyed to Hon. John Penn, Jr., Esq., between 15 and 16 acres, the southeast part of the Blockley plantation. This land afterwards constituted Penn's estate called "Solitude," now the Zoologi- cal Gardens.

The share of Col. Warner's real estate which he devised to his sons Joseph Warner and John Warner, consisting of about 132 acres, was conveyed by them to Robert Eglesfeld Griffith, by deed dated April 2, 1798 (in which their mother Lydia Warner joined), and now forms that portion of the West Park which is known as "Eglesfeld."

William and Ann ( Roberts) Warner by deed dated Oct. 13, 1795, conveyed to Jacob Lincoln the land in Kingsessing township which William Warner had received under will of his father.

The historic house in which the widow of William Warner resided until her death stood on the southwest side of Lancaster Road (now Lancaster avenue), near its pres- ent intersection by Forty-fifth street. It was a spacious mansion, designed according to the best standards of the Colonial period, and it is said that it was built 1747. A picture of the old house was drawn by Miss Beck, an artist, at the instance of John Fanning Watson, the annalist, but it has not been found among his papers. Watson left a manuscript account of an interview which he had with Mrs. Ann (Roberts) Warner when he called on her in June, 1833. The building was sold about 1845, and in the course of time became a hotel, known as the "Warner House."

Atlee's Battalion, who was killed at the battle of Long Island, August 27, 1776. William Powell enlisted March 6, 1776. He had married, by license, at his house in Arch street, January 3, 1765, Mary, daughter of Jenkyn Thomas, who, like himself, was of Welsh descent. The ceremony was performed by Morgan Edwards, then pastor of First Baptist Church of Philadelphia. Mary (Thomas) Powell died at her residence at the northwest corner of Eighth and Arch streets, Philadelphia, December 23, 1817, aged seventy-five years, and was buried on Christmas day. Sarah (Powell) Warner, their youngest child, was born October 9, 1771. She died at the residence of her daughter Mrs. John P. Harrison, on Race street above Fourth street, Cincinnati, Ohio, November 24, 1845, having survived her husband more than forty-two years, Joseph Coulton Warner having died in Philadelphia, January 20, 1803. He did not leave a will, and letters of administration on his estate were granted to his widow Sarah War- ner and Algernon Roberts, February 10, 1803.

By a deed dated April 2, 1798, Joseph Coulton Warner and Sarah his wife, John Warner, and Lydia Warner, widow, the mother of Joseph Coulton Warner and John Warner, conveyed to Robert Egglesfield Griffith, in consideration of £4,762 10. 00, the 132 acres of land which Isaac Warner, the father of Joseph Coulton Warner and John Warner, had devised to them. This was the property on which the "Castle" of the State in Schuylkill was located.

JOHN ERWIN, the grandfather of Henry Erwin, who married Rebecca Ashton Warner, before mentioned, according to an entry made in his Edinburgh Bible, presumably by himself, was born in the north of Ireland in the year 1727. He is supposed to belong to the same family as Hugh, Arthur, William, Nathan and Alexander Erwin, who came from the north of Ireland in or about the year 1760, but nothing is known to the writer of these lines to confirm this theory or to show where he was born. He was a strict member of the First Presbyterian Church of Wilmington, Delaware, was Assistant Burgess of Wilmington in 1763, and held that position almost continually until about the year 1788, possibly until his death, at Wilmington, May 30, 1797. He is buried in the churchyard of the First Pres- byterian Church at Wilmington. He married Letitia, maiden name unknown, and they had issue as follows :
