Research status

Research status: PROBABLE — accepted by Earl 28 September 2026 pending more evidence. The 1870 census of Winslow, Stephenson County, Illinois, read from the image, has a two-person household: Marancy Warner, 46, keeping house, born New York, and Clifford, 19, farm labourer, born Illinois S828. What is weak: the 1870 census has no relationship column, and Clifford's own 1880 entry gives his mother's birthplace as Massachusetts, not New York S824. Her maiden name “Alexander” rests on an Illinois marriage index reading “Muraney Elexander” S825, which has not been read, and on her son Charles’s 1878 marriage record S1138, where it is his statement, not hers

Evidence: The 1870 census of Winslow, Illinois has a two-person household of Marancy Warner, 46, born New York, and Clifford, 19, born Illinois; she was in John Warner's household at Winslow in 1850. Weak or missing: The 1870 census has no relationship column; Clifford's 1880 entry gives his mother's birthplace as Massachusetts, not New York; the maiden name Alexander rests on an unread index ('Muraney Elexander') and on her son Charles's statement in his 1878 marriage record, and her birth and death dates are unsourced; the 1900 Knox County 'Marancy Ballet(?)', mother-in-law of the widow Mary Warner, has a hard-to-read surname and 'mother of 1 child'.

Life in the order the records give it

Census1850
In 1850 “Marany” is in John Warner's household at Winslow with Araminta, 7, John, 5, and Frederick, 3 S826; John's Find a Grave memorial names his wife as Marancy S827
Birth1824
Born about 1824 in New York (46 in July 1870) S828. The family tree's birth on 27 February 1824 at Henderson, Jefferson County, New York, and death on 11 June 1901 at Creighton, Knox County, Nebraska, are not on any record read; a 1900 “Marancy Ballet” may be another woman
Death1900
🆕 Perhaps her in 1900: Marancy Ballet(?), 76, born February 1824 in New York, father born New York, mother born Connecticut, widowed, was the mother-in-law of the widow Mary Warner, 49, on Mary’s farm in Miller Township, Knox County, Nebraska, with Mary’s four daughters, whose father was born in Illinois Probable confirm or correct → S1063. Evidence: the rare name, a birth in February 1824 that fits the family tree’s 27 February 1824 and her age of 46 in 1870, and Knox County, where the tree puts her death in 1901. Weak: the surname is hard to read, which of her sons was Mary’s husband is not stated, and “mother of 1 child” does not fit four children in 1850 and 1870. Know more?

Family parents, marriages, children, siblings

Children1878
🆕 Her son Charles Warner, 25, born in Illinois, married Mary E. Maurer at Fremont, Dodge County, Nebraska, on 26 November 1878; the marriage record gives his parents as John Warner and Marency Alexander Confirmed S1138. It is the first record read from the image that gives her maiden name.

Probable
Probable mother of Clifford Warner. Wife, then widow, of John Warner
Probable
🆕 Probably her in 1880: Marancy Warner, “Mother”, 57, a widow born New York, in the household of John Ladd and his wife Mintie, 35, born Illinois, in Sheridan Precinct, Washington County, Nebraska Probable confirm or correct → S1018. Evidence: her rare name, an age that fits 46 in 1870 S828, and a daughter of the right age: Araminta was 7 in the 1850 Winslow household S826. Weak: the census gives Mintie no maiden name. It puts her mother's birth in Massachusetts and her own in New York. Know more? Use “Add to this record”. added 29 September 2026

Ancestry collection 6742, record 48152479 (image 4242184-00402). Image examined, read 28 September 2026. Confirmed Clifford Warner, 28, farmer, born Illinois, father born New York, mother born Massachusetts; Ella, wife, 22, keeping house, born Illinois, parents born Pennsylvania; Maud, daughter, 1 or 2, born Nebraska, parents born Illinois. The census gives Ella's relationship to Clifford, not to Maud. FamilySearch indexes the same page (ark:/61903/1:1:M8Y7-1WJ), so it is not independent. Collection: 1880 United States Federal Census.
  2. S825Illinois compiled marriage index — John Warner and Muraney Elexander, Stephenson County, 17 May 1841. Ancestry index card; no image. Probable John Warner to Muraney Elexander, 17 May 1841, Stephenson County, Illinois. An index card only; the register has not been read. “Muraney Elexander” may be Marancy Warner, but it has been flagged as possibly another woman.

The surname reads Ballet but is not certain. Mary’s late husband, the son who makes Marancy her mother-in-law, is not named on the page, and “1 child born” does not fit a mother of Araminta, John, Frederick and Clifford.

Compiled for the Proeger family

Living adults appear by name and relationship, with the year only: no full date of birth and no home town on any page that search engines index, and a living person’s own page is kept out of search engines. Minors appear by name only — no date of birth, no birth year, no age, no school, no place, no address, no other identifying detail. A minor may be named and may appear in a family photograph; nothing further about them is published. Where it is not established whether someone is an adult or a minor, the minor rule applies.
