John Warnock and wife Mary "Polly" Price

John Warnock was in the 1788 tax list of Greene County, Georgia, listed in Alexander Autrey's District with just a white poll, no land (LDS Film #007903320, image 371/600).  A William Womack was also in the this district with a white poll, no land.  Other important names in this District for Womack and Warnock genealogy were Absalom Autrey, Alexander Autrey, Michael Cupp and Joseph Price.  

William Womack witnessed deeds for the Autreys and for Michael Cupp.  I have researched this William Womack extensively. He moved around a lot.  His wife was Rebecca, maiden name probably Ledbetter.  William moved to Wilkes Co, GA by 1793, then to Pendleton Co, SC, then to Jackson Co, GA, then to Tennessee, then to Kentucky, before moving to Gallatin Co, IL where he died in 1820.

Joseph Price was the father-in-law of John Warnock.  See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Price-14612, search for 'Warnoch'.  I have not verified this research, but it appears the Joseph Price family came to Georgia from Virginia around the same time that John Warnock and his father Robert Warnock came to Georgia from North Carolina.  So, it is likely John Warnock met his wife Mary "Polly" Warnock in Greene Co, GA.  

John Warnock may have been married previously, and the Thomas Warnock who married Charity Peters in 1807 in Oglethorpe Co, GA was possibly John's son from an earlier marriage.  Some researchers believe Thomas Warnock moved to Hinds Co, MS, but I have not verified that research.

The Rebecca Warnock who married John Miles in 1808 in Oglethorpe Co, GA was Robert Warnock's daughter, who Robert named in his will in 1797.

The Mary Ann Warnock who married Drewry Silvey in 1807, and the John Warnock who married Martha Briant (from deed records, it appears her maiden name was Briant, not Obriant) in 1817, both in Oglethorpe Co, GA, were the children of John Warnock and Mary "Polly" Price.  There was a third child, Rosana Warnock, named in Robert Warnock's 1797 will as his granddaughter; no further info on her.

On 9 Dec 1794, Rosanna Price and Joseph Price applied for letters of administration on the estate of "Joseph Price, late dec'd of Greene County".  (Greene Co, GA WB A:257, Film # 005756648, image 156/778).  Rosanna was Joseph Price Sr's widow, her maiden name unknown, and she administered her husband's estate with their son Joseph Price Jr.  An inventory for Joseph Price starts on p.258 of Will Book A and runs to p.260, dated 9 Mar 1795.  The final page mentions cows given to Polly Warnock and Jinny Williams.  Though not explicitly stated, other documents show these were likely Mary "Polly" Price Warnock and Jane "Jinny" Price Williams, daughters of Joseph & Rosanna Price.  At this time, Polly was pretty much always a nickname for Mary, and Jinny/Jenny for Jane.

Jane "Jinny" Price married first an unknown Mr Williams, followed by her marriage to Ransom Duke, 20 May 1798 in the marriage records of Oglethorpe Co, GA.  The estate records of Ransom Duke have Jane Duke as the administratrix of his estate.  

In the year 1800, the "heirs and representatives" of Joseph Price Sr sold his land in Oglethorpe County, Georgia (Oglethorpe Co, GA DB C:491, LDS Film # 007898905, image 285/666).  The heirs and representatives are listed as John Warnock, Joseph Price, Abel Price, George Price and Ransom Duke.  They all signed the deed, and Rosana Price signed as well.  So, Joseph Price Sr's sons, sons-in-law and widow all signed this deed.

John Warnock and the Price family appear near each other in the same tax district lists in Greene Co, GA and later Oglethorpe Co, GA.  These tax lists also show the relationship to Drewry Silvey, which I will get to.

John P Warnock, born circa 1795, was the son of John Warnock and Mary Price.  His marriage record in 1817 in Oglethorpe lists his wife as Martha Obriant, but her maiden name was likely just Briant, from deed records in Oglethorpe involving John and the Briant family.  John P Warnock was on the 1820 census of Oglethorpe Co, GA; the 1830 Census of Greene Co, GA; the 1840 and 1850 censuses of Troup Co, GA; and the 1860 and 1870 censuses of Russell Co, AL.  He married his second wife, Permelia B Buchanan, on 25 June 1848 in Troup Co, GA.

John P Warnock appears to have living descendants, and descendants of Drewry Silvey and Mary Ann Warnock should compare DNA.

The Calhoun Co, AR death certificate of daughter Martha Maregarette Warnock Grisham, 1 Dec 1830 - 16 Nov 1920, lists her parents as John P Warnock and Patsy Byrant; Patsy was a common nickname for Martha.

John P Warnock had War of 1812 service, and his widow Permelia applied for his pension.  The pension application file may have more genealogical value.  John P Warrnock also has records for the the First Seminole War (2 Regiment (Little's) Georgia Militia, Rank of Private), as well as the Creek War of 1836 (F & S Co., Alford's Batt'n, Ga. Mtd. Vols, Rank of 'Q. M. Sergt').

John P Warnock received a pension, probably for a disability suffered in one of the Indian Wars, and he was on the 'Revolutionary War Pension List', though he did not fight in the Revolutionary War.  Some of the men on the pension rolls were soldiers from later conflicts who were injured while serving, and John P Warnock falls into that category.  See https://www.fold3.com/pdf/M1746.pdf, search for both Warnock and Wamock (a transcription error).
