Werner Family
Werner Family
Note: some of their descendants adopted the spelling VARNER, others remained WERNER or WARNER. In the third and subsequent generations we have used what appears to be the prevalent spelling for each family.
Maria Elisabeta Werner (b. 1726, died young)
Eva Catharina Werner (b. 1727) m. Michael Pfauz (1722-1803)
Maria Elisabeta Werner (b. 1729)
Johann Adam Werner m. Anna Maria Pfauz (1738-after 1814), Michael's sister
Veronica? Werner; child named as Foaney in her father's will; one source gives her name as Veronica
Johann Georg Werner
Jacob Werner
Christopher Werner
John Werner
Johann Adam and Catharina and their families settled near the Uwharrie River, in what is now Randolph County NC.
Christian Andreas and Johann Jonas Werner were brought by their mother to the Moravian settlement at Bethabara in January 1782 as apprentices, after their father's death. Johann Jonas died of smallpox in 1786. Christian Andreas remained in association with the Moravian community, although he did not join the church formally until 1799. He was the miller at Bethania grist mill.
(* Parentage is not proven, but if not Christian's, then whose?)

People's Press, Saturday, April 26, 1851 -- "Died, in this place on the 21st instant, Mrs. Louisa Warner, consort of Benjamin Warner, in the 56th year of her age." Previously we asked who Benjamin Warner was. We now know that he was the son of Massa Warner and Maria Dorothea Miksch [corrected 12/7/05] of Pennsylvania, and that he came to NC in 1825 with his bride Louisa Stotz, to take over management of the Salem tavern. His older sister, Anna Dorothea Warner, had come to Salem in 1814. She married Johann Jacob Blum in 1828. So far as we know, this family is not related to Christian Andreas Werner.
