Warner

Beyond any doubt is that the first Augustine Warner was the builder of Warner Hall in Gloucester Co., home to the Lewis family of Virginia as Shirley is home to the Carters. As with Philip Rootes, so with Augustine Senior. Earlier facts about the family are sketchy at best, and the Virginia progenitor is identified as a gentleman, fixing his status (whether rightly or wrongly) as a member of the English gentry legally entitled to use a coat of arms, though the benefit of that is, particularly at this late date, moot.
