Notes:

Name:
Daniel Warner, son of Andrew Warner, was probably born after his parents came to America. His birth record has never been found and the year is uncertain, although the evidence would be in favor of a date between 1632 and 1635. He died in Hatfield, Mass., April 30, 1692. He went in 1659 with his father from Hartford, Conn., to Hadley, and settled in the part of town that was set off as hatfield in 1670. Daniel Warner, freeman, Hatfield, may 7, 1763 (Mass. Bay records, Vol. 4, pt. 2, 587). Daniel Warner was appointed ensign to the foot company in Hadley, Oct. 7, 1674, and returned a bill for caring for soldiers, May 30, 1679 ( Mass. Bay records, vol. 5, 239, 336, etc.). He is designated in early records as Lieutenant Daniel Warner. He was a grantee of Northfield in 1682 and was there at the Second Settlement (History of Northfield). With seven others from Hadley he signed a letter to the General Court, sent from Hadley April 29, 1676, regarding the nearness of the enemy (N.E. reg., 41:202). This was during the French and Indian War.

The settlers on the two sides of the river at Hadley were obliged to do many things separately on account of the treacherous swiftness of the water at the point of crossing. The church was on the east side of the river and the ninety residents of the west side found great difficulty in attending services. In May, 1667, Daniel Warner was one of those who sent a petition to the General Court asking to be set off as a separate parish or society. They had lived on the west side for six years and found it difficult and dangerous to cross. "Our vessels tossed up and down so that our women and children do screech, and are so affrighted that they are made unfit for ordinances, and cannot hear so as to profit by them by reason of their anguish of spirt."--"When we do go over the river we leave our relatives and estates lying on the outside of the colony, joining to the wilderness, to be a prey to the heathen when they see their opportunity." Thrilling tales were told of the canoes filling with water, or of the worshippers breaking though the ice. (History of Hadley.)
