Joseph Warner (1789-1840) was the third son of Joseph Warner (1751-1836), who was the first settler of Florence (town of Northampton) in 1778, marrying Jerusha Edwards the year following. Joseph Warner the son, married his third cousin, Nancy Warner of Williamsburg in 1814.* According to the Florence historian Charles A. Sheffeld,** Warner "made his home with his father on the old homestead. He worked on the farm, which now contained three hundred acres, and when his father became advanced in years took the burden of directing affairs from the old man's shoulders. He was selectman several years, and represented the town in the General Court. His death in 1840 was only four years after his father had passed away. His wife survived him twenty-eight years. They had six children. The oldest son, Joseph [1717-1877], was the silk manufacturer. The youngest child, John Flavel Warner [1828-1897], [Sheffeld reported in 1895] remains on the farm."
