Town of Sennett - Early Settlements :

Deacon John Warn came in from the eastern part of the State about 1815, and settled in the east part, three miles from Sennett, where Thos. Ogden, his son-in-law, now lives. He subsequently removed to where Sheldon Turner, another son-in-law, now lives, about a mile east of Sennett, and died there October 20th, 1868, aged eighty-two years. His children living are, Sarah, wife of Sheldon Turner, Mrs. Thomas Ogden, and George, in Sennett; Catharine, now Mrs. Hubbell, in Elbridge; and John T. and Elizabeth, in Michigan.

from "A Genealogy of the Warne Family in America" By George Warne Labaw

John Warn, b. in Schenectady, N. Y., Aug. 16, 1786; d. Oct., 1868, at Sennett, N. Y. ; m. Mary Kennedy, b. in Broadalbin, N. Y., 1788; d. in Sennett, N. Y., 1867. Mrs. Warn's ancestors were from Scotland. Some have written John Warn's name as John J. Warn, but this evidently is a mistake, as it is found in his signature in only one instance. His signature to his will is simply John Warn. The old family Bible also gives only John Warn.

When John Warn went in the spring of 1815 to live in Sennett with his wife and four children, he took with him his father and mother and sisters Hannah and Maria. It is supposed he went to Sennett from Broadalbin, Fulton Co.. N. Y.
