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 beyone 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 rive 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 foot-note, 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 Cantebury 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 (?), and that he is the identical William Warriner who appeared among the pioneers of Springfield, Mass., in 1638.If this be the case, he was probably a widower, at least fifty-seven years of age when he married Joanna Scant in 1639, and about ninety-four when he died in 1676.And this is altogether credible, for some of his descendants have lived beyond that age.
