CAPT. EBNEZER HARVEY was of Northfield, Mass, in 1758, having come to that town from Sunderland. He appears to have removed from Northfield to Winchester, and from that town to Chesterfield. September 17, 1772 he purchased of Elkanah Day,, of this town, a part of house-lots Nos. 5 and 6, in the tenth and eleventh ranges. This land was near the common at the Centre village, which was mentioned in the deed as having been conveyed to the town. In JUne 1777, he was sentenced by
the "court of inquiry" at Keene to be confined to the limits of his farm and to pay a fine for alleged hostility to the American cause.
He appears also to have been a zealous partisan of Vermont in the controversy about the "New Hampshire Grants." He was selectman in 1783 and 1803; representative in 1785. He was the first postmaster in Chesterfield commissioned by the United States, holding the office from 1802 to 1810.

One of his sons, RUFUS HARVEY SR., lived and died in Chesterfield. For many years he (Rufus) was a deputy sheriff for the county of Cheshire.

DANIEL2 WARNER, son of Andrews Warner, was
probably born after his parents came to America. His birth
record has never been found and the year is uncertain,
although the evidence would be in favor of a date between 1632
and 1635. He died in Hatfield, Mass., April 30, 1692. He went
in 1659 with his father from Hartford, Conn., to Hadley, and
settled in the part of town that was set off as Hatfield in 1670.
Dani : \Varner, freeman, Hatfield, May 7, 1673 (Mass. Bay
Records, vol. 4, pt. 2, 587). Daniel Warner was appointed
ensign to the foot company in Hadley, Oct. 7, 1674, and returned
a bill for caring for soldiers, May 3o, 1679 (Mass. Bay Records,
vol. 5, 239, 336, etc.). He is designated in early records as Lieutenant
Daniel Warner. He was a grantee of Northfield in 1682
and was there at the Second Settlement (History of Northfield).
With seven others from Hadley he signed a letter to the General
Court, sent from Hadley April 29, 1676, regarding the nearness
of the enemy (N. E. Reg., 41 :202). This was during the French
and Indian War.
The settlers on the two sides of the river at Hadley were
obliged to do many things separately on account of the treacherous
swiftness of the water at the point of crossing. The
church was on the east side of the river and the ninety residents
of the west side found great difficulty in attending services. In
May, 1667, Daniel Warner was one of those who sent a petition
to the General Court asking to he set off as a separate parish or
society. They had lived on the west side for six years and
found it difficult and dangerous to cross. "Our vessels tossed
up and down so that our women and children do screech, and
are so affrighted that they are made unfit for ordinances, and
cannot hear so as to profit by them by reason of their anguish
of spirit."-"When we do go over the river we leave our relatives
and estates lying on the outside of the colony, joining to
the wilderness, to be a prey to the heathen when they see their
opportunity." Thrilling tales were told of the canoes filling with
water, or of the worshippers breaking through the ice. (History
of Hadley.)...
...
The Court appointed the widow Martha and Samuel Partridge
as administrators on September 30th, 1692, and ordered
the "property to be devided amongst ye children of the deceased
which are fowrteen, the eldest son named Dan" Werner a double
portion, 2(1 son Andrew, Sarah Shelding, Anna Hubbirt. Mary
Warner, Hannah Worner, John, Abram, Samuel, Ebenezer,
Mahitabell, Elizabeth, Hester, Nathaniel." (Northampton Probate
Records, 3:1.)

Daniel married Boltwood, Martha on 1 Apr 1674. Martha (daughter of Boltwood, Robert and unknown, Mary) died on 22 Sep 1710. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
