"John WARNER, the immigrant ancestor, was born in London, England, in 1615. He married Priscilla HOLLIMAN, daughter of Ezekiel and Susanna (OXSTON) HOLLIMAN. He embarked at London on the ship 'Increase,' April 15, 1635, and gave his age as twenty years. He signed the Compact at the town of Providence, Rhode Island, August 20, 1637, or shortly afterward. In 1640 he was on a committee to adjust differences between the Providence and Pawtuxet, and July 27, 1640, with thirty-eight others signed an agreement for a form of government. He and others bought Shawomet, afterward the town of Warwick. Soldiers were sent from Boston, the homes of the of the Warwick settlers were besieged, and they were taken prisoners, carried to Boston and tried for 'heresy and tradition.' WARNER and others were sentenced, November 3, 1643, to imprisonment 'during the pleasure of the court,' 'and should they break jail or speak against the church or state they should die.' When released they were exiled both from Massachusetts and from Warwick. But at length he returned to Warwick and was town clerk in 1647, clerk of the general assembly of Rhode Island in 1648. In 1652 he was disenfranchised by a town meeting because 'he called the officers of the town rogues and thieves; for calling the whole town rogues and thieves; for threatening the lives of men.' He returned to England the following month with all his family except his daughter Rachel. He died abroad and his daughters, Susanna and Mary, remained in England. His son John returned to Rhode Island to inherit the estate of his grandfather, Ezekiel HOLLIMAN, who sent for him. Children: John, Susanna, Mary, Rachel, married Abel POTTER."

"John WARNER was at Providence in 1637 and was one of the original purchasers of Shawomet from the Indians. In 1652 he had differences with Samuel GORTON and other old friends and was ordered to return with his family to England. According to family tradition, he later attempted to return to America but his ship perished with all on board."
