ISAAC WARNER
Isaac Warner was born in Loudon county, Virginia, May 16, 1800, and came to
this county with his parents, who settled in Kiskiminetas township, where his
widow now lives, in August, 1808. He married in 1828, Elizabeth Scott, who was
born January 10, 1806, in County Tyrone, Ireland. Her parents, Andrew and Jane
(Hall) Scott, were natives of Ireland and born respectively in 1777 and 1779.
The former died here in 1851 and the latter in 1861. Andrew Scott emigrated to
America with his son Hugh in 1820, and very soon located in this township of
Armstrong county. In 1825 he sent his son back to Ireland to bring over his
wife and other children. They had altogether ten children, some of whom were
born in this country. Their names, in order of their ages, are as follows:
Hugh, Elizabeth, Isabella, Margaret, Mary Jane, Andrew, Sarah, Samuel,
Stewart, and an infant who died unnamed. Of these, Elizabeth, Margaret, Sarah,
Samuel and Stewart are now living.To Mr. And Mrs. Isaac Warner five children were born, as follows: Isabella
(wife of Samuel F. Cooper), a resident of Kiskiminetas; Abram, who lives upon
the old home farm; Mary Jane (wife of Robert Hunter), a resident of Indiana
county; Andrew, S., who lives in Freeport, and Isaac W. Warner, who resides in
the West. The father of these children had purchased soon after arriving at
manhood about 160 acres of heavily timbered land, on which at the time there
was not more than two acres cleared. He labored very industriously to clear
this land, and by the time of his death had seventy acres in excellent
tillable condition. In 1871 he was thrown from a wagon by the running away of
a team of horses at Spring church, and the injury received resulted in his
death June 7, 1871. His widow and son Abram live upon the farm which he left
them. The latter, born December 11, 1832, was united in marriage, May 13,
1875, with Miss Maria E. Crosby, who was born July 7, 1838. They have two
children�Jennie, born March 18, 1876, and Ralph Irwin, born February 24,
1879.Source: Page(s)
