Hijiorical Memoirs of Colonel SETH WARNER. Chap. IV. p. 159, 



AMOVG the perfons who have performed important fervices to 

 the S'.J'.e of Vermont, colonel Seth Warner deferves to be remembered with 

 reTpeft. He was born at Woodbury, in the colony of Connefticut, about 

 the yfar 1744, of honelf and refpeftable parents. Wirhout any other ad- 

 v^niagcv for an educati<jn than what were to be found in the common 

 fchoois of the town, he was early diftinguifhed by the folidity and extent 

 of his underftanding. About the year 1763. his parents purchafed a traft 

 of land in Bennington, and foon after removed to that town with their 

 family. In the uncultivated ftare of the country, in the fifh, with which 

 the rivers and ponds were furnifhed, and in the game, with which the 

 •woods abounded, young Warner found a variety of objefts fuited to hi« 

 favorite inclinations and purfuits ; and he foon bfcame difiinguifned as a 

 fortunate and indefatigable hunter. 



His father, captain Benjamin Warner, had a iliong inclination to medi- 

 cinal irquiries and purluits ; and agreenbly to the ftate of things in new 

 fettlements, had to look, for many of his medicines in the natural virtues of 

 the plants and roots, that vyere indigenous to the country. His fon Seth 

 frequently attended him in thefe botanical excurfions, contrafted fomething 

 of his father's tafte for the bufinefs, and acquired more information of the 

 nature and properties of the indigenous plants and vegetables, than any oth- 

 er man in the country. By this kind of knowledge he became ufetul to 

 the families in the new fettlements, and adminiffeied relief in many cafes, 

 where no other medical afTiifance could at that time be procured. By 

 fuch vifits and praflice, he became known to mcft cf the families on the 

 •weft fide of tlie Grfen Mountains ; and vas generally ericcmcd by them a 

 man highly ufeful. both on account of his information and humanity. 



About the year 1763 a fcene began to open, which gavea "^ .v turn to his 

 aSive and enterprifing fpirit. The lands on which thd .ctlemenr.s were 

 made, had been granted by the governors of New Han^'^fbirc. The gov- 

 ernment of New York claimed juiifdiftion to the callward as far as Con- 

 refticut river ; denied the authority ef the governor of New Hampfhirc 

 to make any gran's to the well of Connefticut river ; and announced to 

 the inhabitants, that they were within the territory of New York, and had 

 no legal title to the lands on which they had fettled. The controverfy be- 

 came very ferioiis between the two governments : And after feme years 

 fpcnt in alteication, New Yotk piocmed a dccilion of Gcoigt III. in thtir
