General Notes (Husband)

Joanna: The following facts make it probable that Joanna, the wife of Robert Mackclothlan, was the daughter of John Warner. John Warner was born in England about 1616. He came to New England with his father, William, brother Daniel and sister Abigail in 1637, and settled in Ipswich, Mass. He married Priscilla, daughter of Mark and Joanna Symonds. In 1665 he moved to Brookfield, being one of its earliest settlers. After the destruction of the town by the Indians in 1675, he took refuge in Hadley where his son Mark had settled and where he died, 17 May 1697. The records do not name Joanna as a child of John, but she bore the name of John's mother-in-law, and Robert and Joanna named their daughters Priscilla and Abigail, the names of John's wife and sister. Mark, the son of John, was appointed a guardian of Priscilla and Abigail, the orphan daughters of Robert, and they lived with him in Hadley where they were married.

He went to the Deerfield/ Springfield area and had adventures, which consisted of attacks by Indians, that being the only kind of adventures this Warner family ever had, and sons. Descended from him through the string of Mark's who went to Northampton, are Cheryl Leake (married name) of Austin, Texas, and the three Warners, who were sons and grandchildren of Job Warner from whom Cheryl is also descended, who married Bennett Allen the son of Amzi Allen, and two children of Amzi's son Mark Anthony.
He went to Brookfield, which was destroyed by Indians, then to Hadley where his son was living, and where he died a an old age.
I have a marriage date of 10 Mar 1655, from "Posterity of William Warner", NEHGS, Jan 1866 (my notes thereon) that makes no sense in terms of the dates of birth I have for his children.
On May 17, 1692, he signed over all his real and personal property to sons Mark, Nathaniel and Eleazer. Property included right of 2 commons in Ipswich that went with two houses that had been sold. 3 beds, 3 coverlets, 3 pr sheets, 1 bolster, 2 brass kettles, 1 frying pan, 1 iron peale, 3 skillets, 1 iron pot, 1 iron trammel, 1 pr tongs, 1 box iron, 2 pewter platters, 1 pewter iron, 1 pewter basin, 2 bibles, 2 catechisms, 6 sermon books, 2 women's shawls, 2 waistcoats, 1 large apron, 1 silk handkerchief, 1 silk head scarf, one silk cap, 1 hat.
The family by that time appear to have been quiet, dour, and given to wandering in sometimes strange ways (Job's son Cheryl's ancestor had a child in Florida of all places and by the time he died his family reported him born in Michigan though he grew up on his grandfather's farm in Williamsburg, MA), and given to family breakdown and failures of family communication.
In John's own time the family were extremely quiet, unlike Daniel Warner's nearby family who left colorful and interesting stories and sometimes got into scrapes.
It is interesting that this family should have been so close to that of Amzi Allen. Amzi's descendants take extreme pride in their ancestry and pass it on, and like all descendants of Amzi's father are clannish and for a time liked to have family reunions, but that Allen family group in general are too quiet, too emotional, and a little bit weird.
Job's father Capt. Jonathan Warner, who with a brother moved from Northampton to Williamsburg, served in the Revolutionary War, as did Amzi Allen's father Joseph, who was drafted in place of his father and served for four years. Amzi was captain of a boat that sailed along the Connecticut River and New England Coast, like his father before him, and I don't actually know what Capt. Jonathan's title "Captain" means. I do know that Jonathan Warner had a boy apprenticed to him to learn carpentry, adn that boy eventually married one of Jonathan's daughters. I asked for more information on what might have formed the basis for such a bond between the two families, which existed despite the fact that one family lived in Northampton and the other in Williamsburg and survived the move of Amzi's son Mark Anthony to Glens Falls, New York, but I didn't get an answer.
