Hi Listers,

As long as we are on the subject of Warners, can I throw in my two cents? I
just discovered that my ancestor was a Michael Warner of Springfield, Bucks
Co. His wife was Ursula and they had: Anna Maria m. Anthony Bierly (my line),
Anna Margaret b. 6/19/1757 (St. Paul's, U. Saucon Twp., Lehigh Co.) m. Henry
Hering, Catharine Barbara b. 6/24/1759 (IBID) m. Peter Ziegler of Durham
Twp., Elizabeth m. George Barron of Springfield Twp., Maria Sarah m. William
Heft and Michael. I have more information on each of these children except
Michael Jr. I realize this is the Northampton Co. list but Lehigh Co. was
once Northampton, wasn't it? Would be eager to learn more about this family.
