JOHN WARMAN THE IMMIGRANT
Hello, I found this and thought it might be of interest to some Warman researchers:(I) John Warman, the founder of the family in the United States, was born to opulence, in London, England, being the only son of Sir Christopher Warman, an English baronet. His mother died when he was a mere babe, and his father married a second wife, who was instrumental in having the stepson John spirited away to this country when but a lad of ten years of age. This was in the last years of the eighteenth century, and he finally settled in the wilds of northern New Jersey, where he married the daughter of a pioneer like himself, and, when the Revolutionary war broke out, heartily espoused the cause of the patriots against the mother country. He performed valiant service as a soldier in that conflict for independence. By occupation he was a farmer, an d was of the Protestant religious faith. The record shows that "Sir Christopher died in the year 1779, without heirs," leaving many millions (that has not yet become the property of the legitimate heirs) known as the "Warman fortune." The wife of John Wa rman, American founder, was Anna Oliver, of English descent, but a native of America, the history of whose ancestors is not known.
