I am researching James R. Warner who was born in 1839 in E. Windham, Bradford Co., PA. His possible father was a Nathan Warner I found on the 1840 census for Warren, Bradford Co., PA, who had 2 sons under 5 in his household. I could not find Nathan Warner on the 1850 census for Bradford Co., PA. It is possible he moved across the border into Tioga Co. In James Warner's Civil War pension file he said he lived in Waits Settlement prior to enlisting at Candor, Tioga Co., in 1861. After the war, from 1866-1884, he lived in Waits Settlement. The 1872 Nichols directory lists his residence as a rural delivery in "East Nichols". Does anyone have information on Warner families who lived in this southern area of Tioga County? I suspect that James Warner's father Nathan died. One source says his mother was Elinor CORTRIGHT. Either his father died and his mother re-married another Warner -- or his mother died and his father remarried because when James Warner died in 1925, his obituary lists 3 half-brothers, all with the last name of WARNER and 2 half-sisters, one of whom was a Mary Warner GARRISON who lived in Newark Valley in 1925. Any help would be appreciated. Years ago I contacted the Nichols Town Clerk who replied that they had no records prior to 1885. If he lived in Waits Settlement, should I have contacted the Owego Town Clerk or historian instead? -- Helen Graves
