Jonathan B. Warner was born in New York State in 1827.  He fought in the Civil War with Co. E., in the 10th New York Regiment in the Heavy Artillery division as a private. 

 

Jonathan B. Warner was the son of Stephen A. & Elizabeth (Sweet) Warner who were farmers in New York State. He was born Nov. 16, 1831. In 1865, Jonathan B. and his family resettled in Juneau County, Wisconsin on an eighty acre farm. Later Jonathan's paternal grandparents and Jonathan's uncle, William bought an adjoining farm. Jonathan had ten brothers and sisters. He and five of is brothers fought for the Union army during the Civil War. Jonathan B. was in the 10th New York Heavy Artillery, James A. in Battery D, First New York Light Artillery, taking part in twenty-seven battles Sylvanus S. in Company F, twentieth New York Cavalry Samuel W. in Company P, Nineteenth Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry and William S. in Company C, Sixteenth Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry. It will thus be seen that all the five brothers were in different companies and regiments, and it is a remarkable fact that all returned safely home, not one being either captured or wounded. Sylvanus enlisted Aug. 10, 1863, and served until July 31, 1865, being mustered out at Rockfield, a station on the Danville Richmond Railroad, near Richmond, Va.

On May 4, 1874, the family started overland by ox team for Clark County, arriving May 14, having taken ten days to make the trip. Here they homesteaded 160 acres of land in what was then Hixon Township, but is now Thorp Township.  When Jonathon died, he was buried in the East Thorp Village cemetery, Clark Co., Wisconsin where many of his family members were also laid to rest.

I am descended from Jonathan B. Warner...through his son Timothy and his son David.  I am also descended from Samuel Woodruff Warner...through his son Stephen Elijah and his daughter Eldora.

David and Eldora married and are my grandparents.  They were 2nd cousins.  I have a book “Descendants of John Warner of Farmington” that has over 1000 pages on the ancestry of Stephen Arnold Warner.  Cheryl Brown
