John Warner was the father of Rose Warner, mother of Thomas, Andrew, Robert and probably Zachary Sanford, and of Andrew Warner, who came to America with the Sanford brothers. His will, filed on 16 July 1614, not 1585. is printed in Carlton Sanford's book, to wit: "Commissary Court of London, Essex and Herts. (Filed Will.) 16 July, 12 James I. (1614) "In the name of God, Amen. I, John WARNER of Hatfeild Broakoke alias Hatfeild Kings, Co. Essex, yeoman, now sicke in bodie but whole and sound of mynde and memory, &c. "Item.

(no note of probate.)" Don't know his birth date, but after you've corrected the death date, 1568 seems reasonable. Have you asked any of these researchers for documentation? -----Original Message----- From: SSanfordG <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Wednesday, March 25, 1998 5:26 PM Subject: Sanford Mystery #8 >Anyone have any more input on the birthdate of this gentleman???? > > John\Johan /Warner/ >BIRT DATE ABT 1568 >Hatfield, Essex, England >DEAT DATE 16 JUL 1614 >Hatfield, Essex, England > >Researcher: [email protected](Mark and Glorene Winfield Stevens)1568 > >Researcher: [email protected]( W D Sanford)His source says dob was >1568 and that he md Mary Purchase in 1578; if so, then he was 10 > years old at the time!!!
