Hi, Didi, It was a custom, in New England anyway, to warn out newcomers so they would know that if they couldn't make it, the town wouldn't be responsible for them. It ended in VT about 1817. Many times families stayed and became valuable citizens of the community. Don't think Eunice was that lucky! There's an item in the Middletown Baptist Church records that she was accused of drinking and of slandering a brother (in the church). It was okay for brothers to bring charges against sisters, but not vice versa, I guess! When Eunice's husband, Zimri Warner died, she was left with five children between the ages of eight years and four months old. I don't blame her for being a bit distraught! When she got her dower or thirds of the property, it was only for during her lifetime. Times were tough back then. I hope now to pursue Elijah Scott through census records--maybe he lived until 1850--that would be great if I could find him then with the names of people in his household. Can't think of anything new on your Warner problem. But bet it turns up sometime! Joann Didi wrote: > Hi Joann, > This is Didi Bush.... and WOW.... she must of been bad...~smile~..
