She married at age 24, David-5 Calvin Warner [Sr.]; intent to marry published on 17 January 1779 in Conway, MA. David was a son of Jesse-4 Warner Sr. and his wife 2) Mary (Cooley) VenHorn.

Their 13 WARNER children: some born in CT, MA, and NY.

13 WARNER children:
1. Polly Warner Adams (4/27/1779-1861).
Probably TWINS with
2. Wareham Warner (8/21/1779-1854).
3. Lucinda J. (Warner) Pembrook (1781-1825).
4. Lucretia Warner (1783-1803).
5. David Calvin Warner (1785-1876).
6. Anna (Warner) Church (1788-1855).
7. Russell Warner (1790-1828).
8. Stephen Warner (1792-1834).
9. Elizabeth (Warner) Johnson (1793-1854).
10. Harriet (Warner) Rice (1794-1863).
11. Elihu Warner (1796-1884).
12. John Warner (1797-1871).
13. Luther Warner (1798-1850).

After Mary's husband David died in 1831, some of her children (Harriet Warner and her husband Sylvester Rice) helped her move to MI in 1844 in a covered wagon, and there was an exciting tale about her trip--a pie chest, a flat boat at Buffalo, NY--a storm--a change in travel plans--an overland journey--which continues to be told to this day at the MI Warner Reunions, held continuously since 1915. Had Mary not followed her intuition, she and the Rice family would have drowned as other travelers did on that fateful boat ride. Consider, too, that two of her brothers drowned at the same time in 1783 when she was 29 years old, so she would have been especially wary of Lake Erie and stormy clouds in the sky.

It would seem possible that Mary's name would appear in some MI census search between 1840 and her death in April 1846, even if only as a "female over 70..."

Her husband, David-5 C. Warner Sr., was a Revolutionary War soldier as was his brother Jesse-5 Warner Jr. and their father, Jesse-4 Warner Sr.

Mary is buried in the Warham/Wareham Warner burial plot in Albion, Calhoun, MI. On her headstone is etched:

"Friends nor physicians could not save
my mortal body from the grave.
nor can this grave confine me here
when Christ doth call I must appear."
