History of Ontario Co, NY, Conover & Aldrich, pub 1893, pg 203 - 204

WAITE, D. Byron, Canadice, was born near his present residence in Canadice, February 29, 1828.  His father, Capt. Benjamin G. WAITE, was born in Petersbury, NY, April 27, 1793.  He was with the 86th New York Volunteers in the War of 1812, under General BROWN on the northern frontier in this State.  He married Mary ODELL, sister of the late Mrs. Lydia BAXTER, the poet, and her grandfather, Abbott, fell in the Revolutionary War.  Captain B. WAITE died in Canadice, January 27, 1861.  Peleg, grandfather of our subject, was born in West Greenwich, RI, in 1761, and his wife was Mary GREENE, whose father was a cousin of Gen. Nathaniel GREENE of Revolutionary fame.  Peleg was a descendant in the 5th generation of Thomas of Portsmouth, RI, who came from England in 1634 to Boston, and went to Portsmouth in 1639.  D. Byron was educated at Alfred Seminary, Clinton Liberal Institute, and at the National Law School at Ballston, and was admitted to the bar at Canton, NY, in 1850.  He went to Council Bluffs, Ia., the same year, and was readmitted in that State.  In 1852 he was elected district attorney of Mills county.  He practiced but a short time, when he retired permanently.  He was then engaged in the service of the American Fur Company, and in crossing emigrants for the Council Bluffs Ferry Company, and for two years traveled in the wilds of Kansas, Nebraska and Dakota, buying and collecting furs.  In 1853 he returned to his native town, and was elected justice of the peace, an office he has held longer than any other incumbent in the town, but was never an aspirant for any office whatever.  In 1855 he married Harriet M., daughter of Maurice BROWN, an attorney at Springwater.  He removed to Hastings, Minn., but owing to the ill health of his parents he returned a year later, and has resided here ever since.  He has had four children: Byron Audubon, Genevra, Buretta, and Gates Percival.  The two sons are at Kettle Falls, Wash.  His wife died in 1869, and he married second Amanda M. COLVIN, widow of the Rev. W. W. COLVIN, a Methodist clergyman.  Early in life Mr. WAITE was a teacher in the common schools.  He has devoted considerable time to collecting and writing local history, and has collected and classified the botanical subjects of his native town.  He is a member of the "Ornithologists' Union," and is now engaged in writing the botanical and bird history of Canadice.  In politics he is a republican, but often votes for a competent honest Democrat rather than for a republican of poorer qualifications.  His father, Captain WAITE, had four sons and two daughters, of whom D. Byron and Edwin G. are living of the sons.  The latter was born in 1824 in Granville, Washington county, before the family came to this town.  He went to California as a gold hunter in 1849, and has been a member of both branches of the State Legislature there, county treasurer of Nevada county, and during four administrations was naval officer of San Francisco, and after that chief clerk in the Mint.  He is now secretary of state of California.

WARNER  

History of Ontario Co, NY, Conover & Aldrich, pub 1893, pg 206 - 208 

WARNER, Family, The.---Jesse WARNER came to Orleans, town of Hopewell, from Conway, Mass., in 1796, and settled on the hill just east of the village of Orleans, where he resided until his death at the age of 86 years.  His wife was Sarah WARRENER, by whom he had 7 sons and one daughter, who all settled on farms near him, married and reared large families of children.  Their names in the order of their birth were: Elijah, Rufus, Lewis, John, Oliver, Jesse and James, and the daughter Lucinda; the latter married Elisha PECK, and was the mother of a large family, including the late Prof. Lewis PECK, of Phelps.  Jesse WARNER Sr., was a rigid Calvanistic Baptist and would argue strongly in favor of his theology; he was a very positive man, and has been heard to say to his antagonist in argument, shaking his cane at him (usually his oldest son, Elijah, who leaned to Arminianism), "You little coon, you!  don't you suppose I know ;" with no intent to use his cane only as emphasizing his opinion.  In 1812 or ' 13, when an epidemic of fever swept this section of the country, Mr. WARNER contracted the disease, and it was believed that he would not recover; so strong was this belief that his son Lewis measured his father for a shroud and went to Geneva (the only place where it could be obtained) and returned with it to find his father improving, finally recovering.  Lewis was soon taken with the disease and died, and the shroud secured for his father was used for him.  He left four sons and three daughters, who reached maturity.  A notable event in the family history occurred during the War of 1812.  Under the call for volunteers to repel the enemy at the invasion of Buffalo, Jesse WARNER Jr., with Washington MOORE, his brother William and others, responded.  Instead of repelling the invasion the little army was defeated, and made its escape as best it could.  During the retreat many of the volunteers were shot by the Indians concealed in the woods along the route.  Jesse was shot in the hip, and he carried the ball through life.  Being so seriously wounded that he could not escape, he was captured by the Indians, and though the blood was gushing from the wound into his boot he strove to walk without limping, believing that his captors would have killed and scalped him had they known he was so seriously wounded.  They took his new hat and coat and gave him in return an old conical hat and an old gray frock coat, both of which he brought home with him, and they were retained many years in the family as mementoes of the event.  He was taken to Canada and confined in the upper story of a block-house near the Niagara River, under guard.  He and a son of Judge BARKER tore their blankets into strips to form a rope, by which they let themselves down to the ground.  The alarm was soon given, but they were not pursued, as evidently it was supposed they would not undertake the hazardous crossing of the river.  This, however, they did by tying rails together with their strips of blanket, making a frail raft, upon which they floated and paddled down and across the river, through floating cakes of ice, landing two or three miles below the point of starting, nearly opposite the British fort on the other side.  No grass grew under their feet as they hastened homeward, Jesse to joyfully meet his young wife and two children and rejoicing friends.  Washington MOORE while running from the battle-ground with his gun in his right hand in a horizontal position, was shot through the wrist, causing him to drop his gun; he did not stop to pick it up, but hastened on and finally reached his home.  Esquire William MOORE (father of Wm. A. MOORE, attorney and counselor-at-law, of Detroit, Mich escaped without a scratch.  He was a member of the first Constitutional Convention of Michigan, and was also a member of the Legislature of that State.  Another incident of the family history was the tragic death of Oliver WARNER.  He started on a visit to his native town of Conway about 1825.  While traveling by stage coach in the vicinity where he was born, a shower came up and the stage halted at a country tavern while the passengers sought the shelter of the hostelry until the shower should pass.  During the storm lightning struck the house and instantly killed Oliver WARNER and another.  The sad event was a severe shock to his wife and family of 6 sons and 2 daughters.  He was buried there at the time, and the next winter his brothers John and Jesse went with horses and sleigh and brought the body home, and it was buried in Orleans cemetery, where his widow long since was laid by his side.  John WARNER was bound an apprentice to the tanner's trade at the time his father came to this county, consequently he did not come with the rest of the family, but remained to finish his trade, and came four or five years later, about 1800.  He married Susan POST, who came from Southampton, near the east end of Long Island.  He built a tannery and made leather, boots and shoes for people even miles away, and after12 years bought the farm where his son Ulysses now lives, and built thereon the two-story brick house now occupied by the latter.  There, from about 1812, he kept a tavern, furnishing accommodations to the teamsters who for many years carted goods from Albany to Buffalo with six and eight-horse teams.  The Tonawanda and Oneida Indians, in their visits back and forth, often put up at this tavern, sleeping in the bar-room, shed and horse barn, and Ulysses remembers having to step over them to get upstairs to bed.  In religion most of Jesse WARNER's children were Baptists; John and Jesse, however, were Universalists.  

Ulysses WARNER, son of John, and who now occupies his father's homestead, in addition to the preceding interesting account of his ancestors, thus speaks of himself: "I dislike to write about myself; besides, I have not had a very eventful life or a very brilliant history.  I was born on the 7th of May, 1812, while our nation was struggling with Great Britain to obtain or retain free trade and sailors' rights on the high seas.  I had good common school advantages and the benefit of some excellent select schools, with such teachers as Judge Richard MARVIN, of Chautauqua, and John L. MOORE, oldest son of Esquire William MOORE.  I married on the 10th of December, 1835, Mary Ann RICE, daughter of Elder Caleb RICE, whose mother was the sister of the eccentric Rev. John LELAND of New England fame.  She died in 1842, leaving one son, still surviving.  I married second Eliza Ann JONES, on the 23rd of March, 1843, a daughter of the late Thomas C. JONES, of Hopewell, by whom we have 7 sons and 4 daughters, all now living, making twelve for me, my present wife having lost two twin boys.  I was brought up on a farm and in a tavern.  There used to be martial music and very much patriotism when I was a boy; many and many company trainings---barefoots (infantry) and independent rifle corps---have met at our house to exercise in military tactics, to show to the world that no people could successfully invade us or tread on our toes unless they expected to be immediately annihilated; and many roast turkeys and pigs, and rice puddings, etc., have they partaken of without being molested by any foreign or domestic foe.  I said above that I was a farmer, but at maturity my brother older had learned the tanning and currying trade at Medina.  I joined with him and erected a tannery and shoe shop in Orleans and run it about 15 years; following this, I was in the dry goods and grocery business three or four years; then I moved on to the home farm, where I still reside, and have worked hard and long to raise and educate my children, and have taught them, I hope, to be honest and truthful, which would have a tendency to make them respectable.  In my younger days I was a Universalist, and think that faith is the nearest right of any.  In politics I was a Democrat until during the great Rebellion, when LINCOLN was crossing that boisterous stream, I voted for him the second time he was elected; since then I have supported the Republican party.  As a Democrat I was elected justice of the peace at the age of 21 years, and held the office for more than 30 years, to about the close of the war.  The majority of the electors being Democrat, and I having committed the ' unpardonable sin,' in their opinion, when I voted to sanction a more vigorous prosecution of the war and that it was not a failure, I was deemed unfit of incompetent to hold the office any longer, and they have me the cold shoulder, and with a united push shoved me off their platform---without any regard for past service---although the result of a free ballot and honest count.  During the time I held that office I was selected and served three or four years on the bench with circuit and county judges for the trial of criminals in the Oyer and Terminer and Sessions.  I was elected to and served in the State Legislature in the year 1859."

The WARNERS of New England are principally descended from three heads, never as yet connected on this side of the water, though very likely all of one family in England in times remote.  These heads were:  Andrew, one line of whose descendants are herein traced.  William, of Ipswich, Massachusetts, from Boxtet county, Essex, England, whose descendants, like those of Andrew, are widely scattered throughout the United States.  John, of Farmington, Connecticut, ancestor of Colonel Seth WARNER, of Revolutionary fame, and of a long line of WARNERs who settled in Litchfield county.  In Virginia was Colonel Augustine WARNER, whose daughter Mildred became the wife of Lawrence WASHINGTON and grandmother of George WASHINGTON.  Many prominent Southern families are of this blood. 

     ( I ) Andrew, son of John WARNER, of Hatfield, England, was born there in 1595.  He came to America in 1630 and in 1632 was a resident of Cambridge, Massachusetts.  He removed to Hartford, Connecticut, with the party of original proprietors, and was chosen deacon of the First church there, October, 1633.  He held this office continuously until 1660, when, owing to an unhappy and protracted quarrel in the church, he removed with others of the church to Hadley, Massachusetts.  An agreement to go was signed "at Goodman WARD'S House in Hartford, April 18, 1659," among them being Andrew WARNER.  He was living in Hatfield, October 8, 1660, as a meeting was held at his house there on that date, which passed resolutions of government.  This was the beginning of the settlement.  He later was an early settler of Hadley, Massachusetts, where he died.  The name of his first wife, who was the mother of all his children, is unknown.  He married (second) in 1659, before leaving Hartford, Esther, widow of Thomas SELDEN, who survived him until 1693.  Children:  1. Andrew, married Rebecca FLETCHER and died in Middletown, Connecticut, January 26, 1681.  2.

Jesse  married Sarah WARRENER, born September 14, 1745, at Longmeadow, Hampden county, Massachusetts.  Children:  1. Elijah, born 1770, settled in Ontario county.  2.
