Biography

Andrew Warner migrated from England to Colonial America.

Andrew WARNER was born by about 1594/5. He was the third child of John and Mary (PURCHAS) WARNER^[1] of Great Waltham, Essexshire, England.^{[citation needed]}.

The family later removed to neighboring Hatfield Broad Oak.

Andrew married Mary Humphrey (1624-1656) at Thaxted, Essexshire, England, on 5 Oct 1624. (The original marriage record reads: "Andrew Warner of Hatfield Magna married Mary HUMFREY daughter of Robert of Thaxted.") Mary was baptized at Thaxted on 13d 2m 1602/03 the daughter of Robert & Ann (HOLLAND) HUMPHREY.

Immigration

Andrew WARNER & his wife Mary and their young children boarded the "Lyon" 23 Aug 1631 at London. The ship landed 2d 11m 1631 on Nantucket Island and then completed her journey to the newly established (1630) English colony of Massachusetts Bay on 7 Jan 1632/33. The WARNERs first settled in "Newtowne" (soon after renamed Cambridge), Middlesex Co, Massachusetts. His homestead there was very near the acreage where Harvard University now stands. On 14 May 1634 Andrew Warner was sworn in as a freeman of Massachusetts Bay Colony.

In 1636, Andrew and family followed Reverend Thomas Hooker to Connecticut. Andrew was among the founding fathers of Hartford, Connecticut and was elected deacon of the Hartford.

1648-1650 Andrew lived at Farmington, but returned to Hartford where his wife Mary died.

By 1657, Andrew remarried to Esther (WAKEMAN) SELDEN, widow of Thomas SELDEN.

Andrew & Esther removed to Hadley, Hampshire Co, Massachusetts in 1659. This was part of a migration of several Connecticut families west and north upstream along the Connecticut River to the newly established town of Hadley, Hampshire Co, Massachusetts.

Andrew Sr. WARNER died 18 Dec 1684 in Hadley, Hampshire Co, Massachusetts. His widow Esther died by 27 Sep 1693.

Andrew Warner's will of 18 Jun 1681 lists his children and his wife (called or transcribed as "Easter")^[2] This same source gives much additional information about the next generation as well.
