Note: From "History of Mongomery County, Ohio, 1882.
E.F. Warner, Clayton, was born in Randolph Township, Montgomery County, Ohio, on the 27th day of Feb, 1828. Is a school teacher by profession, but has retired from teaching. Was married twice; his first wife's name was Catherine Caufman, died December 11, 1862. In 1865 was married to Rachael A. Lasure, and have six children from second union. Minnie May, Catherine Elizabeth, Sylvia Lodemia, John Elliot, Arthur Livingston, and Edith Irene, are the names of his children. John J. Warner, the father of E.F., was born in Bedford County, Pa, in 1803; came with his father, Jacob Warner, to Randolph Township in 1812. In 1811, Henry Warner, the great grandfather of this subject, came with all of his children down the Ohio river in flat boats from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati.
The sons names were Jacob, John, Henry, Andrew, David and Daniel. The girls were Catherine and Elizabeth. They all engaged in agricultural pursuits. Each opened a farm in said township but all have long since "gone the way of all the earth". They founded a large settlement, known as the "Warner Settlement", far and near. There are but two of the name living in the township, E.F. Warner and Enos Warner.
The present generation has migrated, and some of them are living in every western state, from Ohio to the Pacific slope, and most of them are still engaged in tilling the soil. Henry Warner, the great grandfather of the present generation, came from Wittenberg, Germany, over a century ago, and settled in Frederick Co., Maryland. At the close of the Revolutionary War he settled in Bedford Co., Pa, and from there migrated to Ohio in 1811.
