John Warner

Sent his wife, Caroline, and their three children to California on ship Brooklyn in 1846 with the understanding that he would travel overland to meet them; still lived at Council Bluffs, Iowa, in 1850, which led Caroline to marry Theodore Thorpe in California. (See Bullock, Ship Brooklyn Saints, 222; Sirrine to “Dear Mother and Father,” Apr. 10, 1850; GQC journal, Nov. 7, 1850.)
