Hi Kevin. W.W. Warner, was born in 1824, in Potter County, PA. His father was William Warner and lived with his family at Cortland County, New York. The family, before that came from Connecticut. About 1852, W. W. and family came to Michigan, settling in HAZELTON COUNTY, MICHIGAN, adjacent to Saginaw and Genesee Counties of Michigan. W.W. lived in Flushing for a period of time and was responsible for helping to develop a trail through the wilderness south into Hazelton Township, Shiawassee County, Michigan. He built a shanty on land he purchased there, traveling back and forth to Flushing, where his wife had remained for a period of time until his temporary home was built. He was a good farmer. My gt gt grandfather, CYRUS BRIGHAM, worked for him for a time as a farm laborer. The families were close. There were several WARNER FAMILIES that lived in GENESEE, SAGINAW AND SHIAWASSEE COUNTY during that period. I found W.W. Warner in Section 34, Hazelton Township of an 1859 map owning about 160 acres, which he cleared and eventually was able to farm. His wife's name was Susan and she was from Steuben County, N.Y. I do not know if they were relatives of your WARNERS but hopefully the above is enough for you to establish that contact. Also, I see you are researching the name RAWCLIFFE. My Rawcliffe family came from Lancashire, England, where they lived for at least 200 years before beginning the migration to the United States in the early to mid 1800s. Sound like it could be a part of your RAWCLIFFE FAMILY? I do know that some of the family settled in ONTARIO, CANADA, along with another family of mine, THE GREGSON FAMILY, also from Lancashire. Good Luck Kevin in your quest for your roots, Sincerely, Robert T. Smith usersm8681@aol.com
