"The descendants of William Warriner have furnished soldiers for all the American wars, from the Colonial times to the present, and have been well represented among the pastors of several denominations, Congregational, Presbyterian, Episcopal, Baptist and Methodist. ...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." A full-name index completes this well researched work.
