Warner family record book

1765-1894

The Warners were descended from early settlers of Manhattan, among them Anneke Jans Bogardus (1605-1663). Peter Roome Warner (1804-1896) was a New York City insurance executive and the author of Descendents of Peter Willemse Roome (New York: Daniel H. Gildersleeve, 1883). The Warner family record book, 1765-1894, begun by William Warner (1742-1807) and continued by his son, Leonard Warner (1768-1839) and grandson, Peter Roome Warner (1804-1896), contains family records, genealogies and charts on the Warner and allied families of New York City. Related families include the Bogardus, Brouwer, and Jansen families, among others. The records and genealogies, the bulk of which were written by Peter Roome Warner, are written on blank leaves bound in an engraved 18th-century mathematical exercise book, William Kippix' A New Book of Arithmetick, with some manuscript calculations at the end of the volume.
