Thirteenth Generation

5668. William WARRINER (*) was born about 1558 in Canterbury, Kent County, England.

"Tradition says that William eloped from Lincolnshire, England with Lady Clifford, daughter of Lord Howe, or Howard and English Admiral, and made his home in Yorkshire, England, his wife died in England in 1619 and she is buried in the Canterbury Churchyard. Family tradition says he eloped from Lincolnshire, England, with Lady Clifford, Daughter of Adm.T. Howard, 3rd Duke of Suffolk. Howard married to daughter of Edward lV."

From "The Warriner Family of New England Origin:" "The original ancestor of the New England Warriners joined the settlers of Springfield, Mass., in 1638. His birthplace and ancestry are unknown. That England was the land of his nativity is probable beyond all doubt. He seems to have been one of the earliest of that name of whom history or tradition gives us any account.

Tradition says that William Warriner, about the year 1600, eloped from Lincolnshire, England, with Lady Clifford (?), daughter of Lord Howe, or Howard, an English admiral, and made his escape - with other members of the family, who naturally would want to get out of the way of the offended and insulted nobleman - into Yorkshire. While crossing a river one or two of the Warriners were drowned. William and another were saved, also the lady. And tradition further states that William settled in Yorkshire.

"The English parish records of that period mention several Warriners, one of whom in particular bears the name William. The parish records, copied in the footnote, establish a strong probability that the William Warriner mentioned many times in the Canterbury Cathedral register, who had children christened in that church from 1601 to 1614, who buried several children in the Canterbury churchyard, whose wife, Alice was buried there in 1619, and of whom all records in the books of Canterbury Cathedral cease at that time, is the same William Warriner who eloped from Lincolnshire about 1600 with Lady (Alice) Clifford (?)."
Alice Clifford HOWARD (*) and William WARRINER (*) were married in 1580 in Lincolnshire, England.

5669. Alice Clifford HOWARD (*) was born in 1551 in Canterbury, Kent County, England. She died on 19 January 1619 at the age of 68 in Canterbury, Kent County, England.
