William Warner ★ probably married a sister of Sara Baker, who married Richard Lumkyne on October 20, 1614 at St. Peter’s Church in Boxted, Essex, England ES21. After Richard Lumkyne died, Sarah (Baker) Lumkyne married Simon Stone of Watertown, Massachusetts in about 1654 LI3, WA9. Sarah Stone of Watertown, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, the wife of Simon Stone and relict of Richard Lumkin, wrote her will on March 25, 1663, which stated that she was from Boxted, Essex County, England and more recently from Ipswich Essex County, Massachusetts AM1. She bequeathed sixty pounds to John Warner, whom she called her kinsman, she wished the remainder of her estate to be divided equally between her kinsmen John Warner, Daniel Warner, and Thomas Wells, who were the executors of her will AM1. A transcription of her will follows AM1:

This William Warner may have been the same who was baptized at All Saints Church in Great Horkesley, Essex, England, for a record under the year 1585 stated “Wm Warner bapt 10 march”, but it did not include the names of his parents ES12. Boxted is two miles northeast of Great Horkesley. This William Warner who was baptized in Great Horkesley was probably the same William who was called the son of John Warner of “Much Horsly”, Essex County, who wrote his will on March 10, 1634 (probably 1634/5) EN3. While this version of his will (it was not the original as it had been copied into a book) referred to his residence as “Much Horsly”, the Latin probate record which followed the will stated “Joh[an]is Warner nuper de Horkesly magna in Com[itatu] Essex” EN3, which indicated that this John Warner did reside in Great Horkesley. A transcription of this will follows EN3:

William was probably the father of John Warner, Abigail Warner, and Daniel Warner.
John Warner, the son of “Willm” Warner, was baptized on September 9, 1612 at St. Peter’s Church in Boxted, Essex, England ES21. He married an individual named Priscilla, who was said to have been the daughter of Mark Symonds WA9. John and Priscilla Warner were said to have been the parents of Samuel, born about 1640, Mark, John, Nathaniel, who was born about 1655, Joseph, Mehitable, Daniel, and Eleazar Warner WA9. The records of Ipswich, Essex County, Massachusetts included birth and death records for five children of John Warner VI23. These were Joseph, who was born on August 15, 1657 but died on June 18, 1658, Mehittabell, who was born on April 16, 1659, Daniell, who died on June 8, 1660, Daniell, who was born on April 16, 1661, and Eleazar, who was born on November 13, 1662 VI23. It is unusual for two children in the same family to share the same birthdate in different years, so the birth records for Mehittabell and/or Daniell may not have been accurate. Mahitabell Warner, the daughter of John Warner, Sr., died on June 12, 1678 in Hadley, Hampshire County, Massachusetts MA27.
According to a deed dated the last day of February in 1641 between Theophilus Wilson of Ipswich (the grantor) and John Knowlton of Ipswich (the grantee), Theophilus stated that he had purchased a parcel of three acres on the north side of the river in Ipswich from John Warner SA21. According to a deed from 1648 between William Symonds of Ipswich (the grantor) and Thomas Harris of Ipswich (the grantee), Thomas Harris had previously purchased a house lot in Ipswich from John Warner SA21. Sometime prior to 1655, he probably purchased a four-acre planting lot in the common field in Ipswich from Alice Perkins SA21.
John Warner of Ipswich was called a planter whose wife was Priscilla in a deed dated March 10, 1655 SA21. On that date, he sold his dwelling house, barn, outhouses, orchard, and garden on Brooke Street in Ipswich, along with a four-acre parcel of planting ground in the common field, to John Woodam, a bricklayer of Ipswich, for the sum of twenty pounds SA21. This deed indicated that John Woodam could take possession of the planting lot immediately, but that he must wait until the following September to take possession of the house lot SA21.

Daniell Warner, Sr. died on September 9, 1688 in Ipswich, Essex County, Massachusetts AM1, VI24 and the inventory of his estate was conducted on September 27, 1688 AM1.
William arrived in Ipswich, Essex County, Massachusetts in about 1635 LI3 or 1637, according to William’s great-grandson, Daniel LI3, WA9, and “brought with him two sons, John and Daniel, and one dau. Abigail” WA9. William was granted a house lot of one acre on Baker’s Lane, which was adjacent to the house lot of Symon Stace LI3. An Ipswich town record dated March 2, 1637 (probably 1637/8) stated that Goodman Stace was assigned a house lot between Goodman Warner and Goodman Quilter, and so these were William’s closest neighbors SC4. This area of Ipswich is probably southwest of the town, near the intersection of Topsfield Road and Mill Road, and Warner Road connects the two. A land grant for William Warner from the town of Ipswich was located on the same page as the land grants for Thomas Wells in both “Ipswich Grants Town Meeting 1634-1660” IP2 and “Town Records 1634-1857” IP3. Because they were each missing various words, both of those sources were used to create a composite transcription. In the following record which has been transcribed by me, words which have been italicized were taken from “Ipswich Grants Town Meeting 1634-1660” IP2, but the bulk of the transcribed text was taken from “Town Records 1634-1857” IP3:
Granted to William Warner As in the ould towne booke apeareth: anno 1637 as followeth one howse lott one acre more or less in the mill street bownded on the East by another house lott [the preceding two words are uncertain]… ungranted on the north west by a high way leading from the millstreet to the high street… upon the millstreet at the sowthwest end at the north end butting upon the swamp
also a planting lott six acres more or less heaving on the north syde a planting lott of Th… Rawlinsones [probably Thomas Rowlandson/Rowlinson] on the southwest a planting lott of mark Qwilters: at the southeast end butting upon the towne river at the northwest end upon a swamp:
also a farme being ninety seven acres more or less medow and upland having on the east mr Apletons farme on the sowthwest the land of John Procter at the north west end butting upon the towne river: at the southeast end upon the way that leades to mr Saltonstals farme
also a p[ar]cell of medow in the west medowes being fourteen acres more or less having on the sowtheast the great hill commonly called Captaine Turners hill on the north syde bounded on the north by certaine land lying betwene that and Turkey hill at the west end butting upon a p[ar]cell of medow granted unto Theophilus wilson at the east and upon medow granted unto Thomas Welles to inioy [enjoy] the sayde landes to him his heires and assignes for ever
A list of forty-two men who were “made free” on May 2, 1638 included “Willi: Warrener” and “Richrd Lumkin” SH17. An Ipswich town meeting dated February 18, 1638 (this was 1638/9) stated that William Warner and William Bartholomew were appointed to lay out ten acres of upland and six acres of meadow at the West Meadows to William Whitred SC4. The land of William Warner was mentioned in a land grant from the town of Ipswich, Essex County, Massachusetts to John Wyate which was recorded on July 5, 1639; John Wyate’s meadow and upland at the West Meadows was bounded on the south and southeast of the parcel of meadow owned by William Warner and Thomas Wells SA21. The names of John Warner and Daniell Warner, but not William Warner, were recorded in an Ipswich town meeting dated December 19, 1648 in which of dozens of men pledged various amounts of money to be pooled for the payment of Major Daniel Denison for his annual salary SC4. This indicates that William may have died prior to December 1648.
