On 20 December 1636 sold to George Cooke "my dwelling house in Newtowne with the yards, cowhouse, cowyard & my part in the Ox Marsh, and all other parcels of land, meadow, saltmarsh & ox pasture ..." [CaBOP 41-42]. In February 1639[/40] lands recorded to "Andrew Warner Deacon to the Church of Christ there" included: "one parcel on which his dwelling house now standeth with other out houses, yards or gardens ... two acres"; "one parcel lying partly in the south meadow and partly in the oxpasture ... forty-six acres"; "one parcel lying in the south meadow ... three acres"; "one parcel in the forty acres containing ... seven acres more or less"; "one parcel lying in Hockanum ... eleven acres"; "one parcel lying in the little meadow ... one acre and two roods"; "one parcel of woodland ... thirty acres" [HaBOP 57-8].

The inventory of the estate of "Andr[ew] Warner Sr. deceased who died December 18, 1684, aged about [88?] years," taken 22 December 1684, totalled £356 11s. 4d., of which £253 was real estate: "4 acres land in Hoccanum," £20; 2 acres & a rood at the burying yard," £5; "house & homestead," £65; "6 acres in the great meadow on the south side of the middle way," £30; "4 acres in the swamp," £32 [given as £8 for all four acres, but this must be the value per acre to produce the final sum given in the right column]; "4 acres in said meadow," £24; "4½ acres in Hoccanum," £20; "one piece of skirts there," £2; and "12 acres of land over the river," £55 [HamPR 1:249]. The inventory of the estate of Esther Warner, dated 11 December 1693, totalled £99 15s. 3d., offset by £9 15s. 03d. in debts [Goodwin Anc 1:35, citing HamPR 3:5].

ASSOCIATIONS: One of the witnesses to the will of Andrew Warner was Mark Warner of Hadley, son of John Warner of Ipswich, Brookfield and Hadley, who was in turn son of William Warner of Ipswich. Both Andrew Warner and William Warner named sons Daniel.
COMMENTS: The record of 3 March 1635/6 which names Andrew Warner one of the Massachusetts Bay commissioners for the new settlements on the Connecticut is an error for ANDREW WARD [MBCR 1:171].
There is no date of death for the first wife of Andrew Warner and no date of marriage to his second wife, but the Winthrop medical records assist us in approximating the second event. Andrew Warner's youngest child, Jacob, was two years old on 22 July 1660 and therefore born about the middle of 1658 [WMJ 211]. Warner's first wife, baptized in 1603, would be far too old to have borne this child, and so Jacob must have been son of Warner's second wife. Beginning in November 1657 and continuing until March of the following year Winthrop treated Andrew Warner's wife (given name not stated) for lack of menstruation [WMJ 56, 63, 68, 79, 90]. Neither the doctor nor the patient thought she was pregnant, but she surely was, given Jacob's approximate date of birth.
BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE: In 1915 Frank Farnsworth Starr compiled an excellent and exhaustive study of Andrew Warner and his family, with much greater detail than is given above on all aspects of his life, including his landholding [Goodwin Anc 1:17-37]."
