General Notes (Husband)
He was an early proprietor of Hadley, Massachusetts, which was founded by a small group in 1659. It was originally called Norwottuck (the Indian name for the land east of the river.)
Andrew WARNER(26066) (26067) was born about 1595 in Great Waltham, Essex Co., ENG. (26068) (26069)(26070) He immigrated on 2 Nov 1631 to Nantasket Bay, Plymouth Co., MA. (26071)(26072) He died on 18 Dec 1684 in Hadley, Hampshire Co., MA.(26073) (26074) (26075) He had an estate probated on 31 Mar 1685 in Hadley, Hampshire Co., MA.(26076) (26077) He was a Merchant. He was Puritan. He arrived on the ship Lyon.(
An early possibly Hatfield town town meeting was held at his home in Hadley in 1660.
He was one of the first settlers of Hadley, where he died in 1684. He married 1 Unknown, 2 Esther, widow of Thomas Selden, who d 1693, as inferred from teh fact, that , her inventory was taken Dec 1 1693.
I have that he married ESther Waheman or Wakman, who could have been the widow of Thomas Selden.
I also have that he married Mary Purchase.
He is most often said to have been born in Cambridge, England, but one source says Great Waltham, and that seems more probable.

Andrew Warner, maltster, son of John and Mary (Purchase) Warner, born in Great Waltham, Essex, England, about 1595; died in Hadley, Hampshire, Massachusetts, 18 December 1684; married 5 October 1624 in Thaxted, Essex, England, Mary Humphrey, daughter of Robert and Ann (Holland) Humphrey, christened in Thaxted, 13 February 1601; died before 1657.
Though Anderson (Great Migration Begins, p. 1928) says he migrated in 1633, Andrew might have arrived in Massachusetts as early as 2 November 1631. The Abbe Genealogy (p. 36) finds him in 1632 in Cambridge, where he took the freeman's oath, 14 May 1634 (NEHGR 3:92). In 1636, he joined Thomas Hooker's trek to Connecticut and participated in the founding of Hartford, where he was surveyor of highways (NEHGR, 94:280) and, by February 1640, deacon (Anderson). He appears to have been one of the original patentees for the settlement at Farmington, but may not have moved there (Anderson notwithstanding). In any event, we find him again in Hartford in 1650. In 1659, as a result of a dispute between church leaders, Andrew with his new wife, Esther Wakeman, widow of Thomas Seldon, removed to Hadley, where they were among the earliest settlers (Davis Warner, Warner Wanderings, Vol. 1, no. 1). On 16 February 1668, Andrew signed the petition against imposts in Hadley. Other signers included Joseph Wariner, Danille Wardner, John Warner, and Isack Warner (NEHGR 9:90). Well into his 80's, Andrew took the oath of allegiance in Hadley, 8 February 1679. He died there in 1684; his widow, Esther, died in 1693. See also Savage 4:418 and Warner and Nichols, The Descendants of Andrew Warner (New Haven, 1919).
Malt-houses were early established, and they continued in some of the villages on Connecticut River more than a century. John Barnard, who died in Hadley in 1664, had a malt-house in Hadley, and another in Wethersfield, and was called "maltster." Andrew Warner hired his malt-house in Hadley, and it was burnt in 1665. He then built malt-works for himself, and was the maltster of Hadley, and his son Jacob seems to have succeeded him. Francis Barnard had a malt-house.
His second marriage was to Esther (Wakeman) Selden. They had no children.
It is probable that Andrew was born in Great Waltham, Essex, England, and lived there until he was about 12 when he moved with his parents to Hatfield Broad Oak. It is likely that he married and that at least two their first two children were born here. No record has been found of this marriage or of his wife, but Warner tradition has it that her name was Mary. The will of Andrew's mother, Mary, made May 12, 1627, gives 20 shillings to "the Two Children of Andrew my sonne". As Andrew was sole executor of her estate, he must have been living in England at the time.
The reason for Andrew to uproot his young family and move to America was probably not the desire to own land but religious persecution. Since his family was fairly prosperous and he became a land owner soon after his arrival in America, he probably owned land in England. In 1625, Charles I ascended the throne of England. He at once assumed all the power of Church and State and escalated the existing war against Puritanism. The ministers of that religion were driven from their livings, or into exile, and the laymen were tortured and forced from their homes. Many sought refuge in the New World.
Among those who dared to oppose this policy was the brilliant preacher, Thomas Hooker, Rev.. He was silenced as a minister of the church in 1626 but continued to speak as a lecturer in Chelmsford, Essex County, until 1629, when the persecution became so great that he left and escaped to Holland. At this, a large number of his followers emigrated to America, being known as the "Hooker Company" and also as the "Braintree Company", from Braintree, the town in Essex from which many of them came. Andrew and his family likely belonged to this company. Hooker arrived in America from Holland on the Griffin on September 4, 1633, to become the pastor of the church at Cambridge, made up primarily of his followers.
Andrew's parents lived in Hatfield Broad Oak after 1609. This town is only 20 miles from Braintree and 16 miles from Chelmsford where Hooker lectured. Andrew and his family must have lived in or near Hatfield at this time as he was the executor of his mother's estate. Therefore, he had every opportunity to become a follower of Thomas Hooker, and his emigration coincided with that of the company. And since Andrew later followed Hooker to Hartford and was a deacon in his church, it is all together likely that he and his family left England to avoid religious persecution.
The first direct mention of Andrew Warner in America is an entry in the town records of Cambridge, Massachusetts, then known as "Newtowne". On January 7, 1632/3, there are recorded several votes regarding the erection of houses in the town and the division of the fence to enclose the common, with the number of rods of fence each settler was to build. This is the first entry made in the records of the town save a single item on December 24 calling a monthly meeting. Of the 42 names given, the eleventh was "Andrew Warner, 20 Rod". Only 11 of the 42 settlers built as much as 20 rods of fence while 24 built less than 10 rods each. This would indicate that Andrew Warner was already a resident of Cambridge and was among the more wealthy members. There are many references to Andrew in the town records the nature of which indicate that he was prominent and well respected. On May 14, 1634, he was made a freeman of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
It is interesting to note that Andrew Warner and his family came to America near the beginning of that great tide of emigration which started in 1629. By that time Plymouth and Salem had been settled, but the total English population of New England was hardly more that 800. In April of 1630, John Winthrop, first governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, left for America. Later that year he was followed by 17 ships bearing over 1000 people. By 1634 the annual emigration had reached 4000. In 1640 the Long Parliament met, the power of Charles I was checked, religious persecution declined, and the flood of emigrants ceased. In those 11 years the population of New England grew from 800 to 26,000.
The "Mary (Humphrey) Warner" source gives her birth as before 13 Feb 1603, Thaxted, Essex County, England

NI28535] Andrew Warner was of Hatfield Magna, Essex Co., England when he married Mary Humphrey of Thaxted, Essex Co. there in 1624. She was the Mayor's daughter.
Andrew Warner is first mentioned in America in Cambridge, then called "New Town," MA, on 7 January 1633 in the second entry in town records regarding the erection of houses and the division of the pale to enclose the common with the number of rods each settler was to build. 42 names are listed including Andrew Warner, 20 rods. 24 of the 42 built less than 10 rods and only 11 built as much as 20 rods, indicating the possibility that Andrew was already a resident of Cambridge and among the wealthier of the town. He was made a Freeman 14 May 1634 and served in many public positions in the town.
"The Descendants of Andrew Warner" indicates that Andrew may have settled first at Mt. Wollaston, later Quincy, MA, as a member of the Braintree Co., but no proof has been established. It is believed that Andrew was an adherent of the outspoken minister, Rev. Hooker, and may have known of his preaching in Essex Co., England before Hooker's removal to Holland and, later, America. It is known that the Braintree Company was known as "Hooker's Company" and they later removed to Newtowne.
"The homestead occupied by Andrew Warner is thus described in the 'Proprietor's records of the town of Cambridge:' 'June The 4th (1635)' 'Andrew Warner In the Towne one Howse and about one Roode for a Backside and garden, March Lane on the south west, Creeke Lane on the northwest, Will Kellsey northeast, Mathew Allen on the southeast.' According to Paige's History of Cambridge, Marsh Lane corresponds to the present Elliot Street, and Creek Lane to Brattle Square. This places Andrew Warner's early home within a few rods of Harvard University, in the very heart of Cambridge. Besides this home lot he also owned six other parcels land of land in Cambridge..." (The Descendants of Andrew Warner," pg. 16)
On 20 December 1636 Andrew Warner sold his dwelling house and all his other lands in Cambridge to Capt. George Cook and either before or after this moved to Hartford, CT with Rev. Hooker and a group from the Cambridge area. The first mention of Andrew Warner in Hartford records describes his home lot in February, 1639, on the north side of the present Charter Oak Ave., a little east of Main Street. He also had 4 other parcels, totalling about 80 acres. He was described as Deacon of the Church of Christ in Hartford and it is believed that he was made deacon while still in Cambridge. He was active in civic affairs while in Hartford, acting as Surveyor of Highways in 1639 & 1647, surveyor to divide the lands on the east side of the river in 1640, appointed to lay out highways in January, 1640, and more. Andrew's name is listed on the Founders Monument in Hartford.
His name does not appear in Hartford records from Jan. 1648 to April, 1650 and he may have resided in Farmington, CT during this time. In March, 1648, he owned 4 parcels of land in that town, but sold his property there by Feb. 1650 and returned to Hartford.
After the death of Rev. Hooker in 1647, Rev. Stone was in charge of the church, but differences arose between Stone's position on some doctrinal issues regarding baptism, membership, and discipline. Andrew was of the anti-Stone faction, known as the "Withdrawers." The result was that in 1659 a group of 59 people from Hartford, Wethersfield and Windsor, moved from their homes and established the new town of Hadley, MA, up the Connecticut River. Andrew was about 65 years old at this time and had been a resident of Hartford for 20 years. Others in the group included Thomas Graves and Nathaniel Dickinson (see these names elsewhere in this genealogy). Andrew sold his Hartford homestead 17 Nov. 1659 to William Loveridge for 130 pounds, to be paid 1/3 in peas, 1/3 in wheat and 1/3 in hats - suggesting that, perhaps, Andrew was in the mercantile business or a trader. However, subequent entries in Hadley records indicate he was a maltster.
Andrew was living in Hadley by 8 Oct. 1660, one of the first settlers, when a meeting was held at his house. His homestead was located on the west side of the street leading to the river at both ends, the 12th lot from the north end. The road from Amherst to Northhampton runs to the south of his lot. He later also owned 8 other pieces of poroperty totalling 42 acres. Andrew was also active in civic affairs in Hadley, despite his age, being named Selectman in 1660, 1667 and 1673.
Andrew died in Hadley 18 Dec. 1684 at age 90; son Daniel was executor of his estate. His will was probated 31 March 1685 in Hampshire Co. court. The inventory valued the estate at 365 pounds, 11, 4 and included 9 parcels of land, some at Hoccanum, Hartford Township.
