Advisory on John Warwick

There are conflicting stories regarding this John Warwick, brother of William Warwick. Some sources claim that John Warwick was killed by Indians abt. 1763-64, but there are no apparent records in Augusta County to prove this. In fact, records after that time period appear to indicate that John Warwick lived well past that date. According to records of the Crouch family, John Warwick appears to have moved with the Crouch's to Tygart Valley, Virginia and then to Kentucky in 1787 (Source: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hutch/PURGETT/Crouch.htm )


In fact, research by John B. Robb of Virginia confirms that John Warwick did NOT die in 1763/4 (from e-mail of 18 May 2010):

What is not in controversy is whether John Warwick, the brother of William was killed in 1763: he wasn't. Lynn (Hutchison) has marshalled plentiful evidence that John was alive and kicking long after that. By 1771 he was apparently settled in the Tygart River Valley in now Randolph Co WV, where he purchased half a dozen tracts, and in 1787 he migrated to the Lexington area of Kentucky, and died in Clark Coounty, KY in 1801. John's son, Jacob Warwick, died a hero at the Battle Tippecanoe, and Warrick Co Indiana is named for him.

Also, some sources claim that John Warwick may have married a sister of James Gay, who sold John Warwick land in the Calfpasture in 1759 (listed below). Although it is possible, there seems to be little evidence to support this. Additional research is necessary to determine the identity of this James Warwick's wife.

Acquisition of Land in the Calfpasture:

  • John Warwick, the brother of the William Warwick, apparently was going to acquire "Lot 18" on the Big Calfpasture, but apparently never completed the patent. [Research by John B. Robb of Virginia]. This lot was later conveyed to John's brother William Warwick.

Acquisition of Land from Chalkley's:
