WARNER, Seth, soldier, born in Roxbury, Connecticut, 17 May, 1743 ; died there, 26 December, 1784. He early became known for his skill in hunting, his energy, sound judgment, and manly bearing. In 1763 he removed with his father, Benjamin Warner, M.D., to Bennington, then in the "New Hampshire Grants." During the dispute between New York and the inhabitants of the Grants, over whom that state claimed jurisdiction, Ethan Allen and Seth Warner, who were the leaders of the people, were outlawed. At the opening of the Revolution, Warner espoused the patriot cause; and, though the New York legislature several times protested against his commission, congress refused to revoke it. As second in command, he assisted in the capture of Ticonderoga, and on the following day took the important post of Crown Point with its garrison and 113 cannon. For this he was given a colonel's commission by congress, dated 27 July, 1775, and joined General Richard Montgomery in Canada. He took part in the following September in the siege of St. John's, New Brunswick, and defeated Sir Guy Carleton, who attempted its relief. His regiment was then discharged, and after the death of General Montgomery, on the last day of the year, he raised another body of troops and marched to Quebec. On the night of 4 July, 1777, when Ticonderoga was evacuated, the main body of the American army took the road leading through Hubbardton and Castleton. At the former place the rear-guard was placed under the command of Warner, who was attacked by General Simon Frazer on 7 July and compelled to retreat after a severe engagement. At the battle of Bennington, Warner's regiment arrived in time to repel the re-enforcement that had been sent to the enemy. He afterward joined the forces of General Horatio Gates at Stillwater, he remained with the army until 1782, when his health gave way, and he returned with his family to Roxbury. Warner was more than six feet in height, erect, and well proportioned. See a memoir of him by Daniel Chipman (Middlebury, Vermont, 1848). In 1787 the state of Vermont granted him 2,000 acres of land in Essex county.--His great-grandnephew, Olin Levi, sculptor, born in Suffield, Connecticut, 9 April, 1844, began life as a telegraph-operator, but subsequently adopted sculpture as a profession, studying at the Ecole des beaux arts, Paris, under Francois Jouffroy, during 1869-'72. His studio is in New York, where he was elected a member of the Society of American artists in 1877, and an associate of the National academy in 1888. His works include the statuettes "May" (1872) and "Twilight " (1878) ; a colossal medallion of Edwin Forrest, which was exhibited at Philadelphia in 1876; "Dancing Nymph" (1879) : a fountain for Portland, Oregon, completed in 1888; " Diana" (1888): portrait-statues of G or. William A. Buckingham, which was placed in the capitol in Hartford in 1883, and William Lloyd Garrison (1885) in Boston; and numerous portrait-busts, among them those of Rutherford B. Hayes, owned by the Union league club, New York (1876), and the Reverend William F. Morgan, D. D. (1887).
