"An American Family" is about the Warner family of Philadelphia's
Blockley Township. R. David Warner Sr., the author, is qualified to
write this book because he and his father are the twelfth and
thirteenth generation of a family which settled on the shores of
the Schuylkill River five years before William Penn laid out the
city. Before his death in 1992, the author's father wrote a series
of letters containing the stories told to him as a child in the
early twentieth century. He researched the public records of both
the Historical Societies and the Quaker Meetinghouse to build upon
the actual accounts of his family members. He spent the last twenty
years of his life collecting this historical information.
In the mid-nineteenth century, the author's great-grandfather
began building on the names and facts about family members. The
information he gathered was also used to write this book. Actual
letters written from the foxholes of the civil war are typical of
the documents used to complete this book. Our past can only be
retrieved from what we remember and from the historical records
that have been kept. Without memories and without records, we have
no personal history
