Biography

John J. Warner was a tenant farmer in the anti-rent community on Blenheim Hill, New York. During the 1845 crackdown he was confined in the Brimstone church and then taken to Schoharie. His daughter later described his imprisonment and the family's opposition to the rents demanded by the landlords.

Case

Arrested: August 1845
Incarcerated: 1845
Sentence: Confined in the Brimstone church during the August 1845 crackdown, then held at Schoharie for a week, according to his daughter's recollection published in 1906. The week refers to the Schoharie confinement, not the total including the church. Exact arrest and release days, the formal charge and any imposed sentence remain unverified. Source: Albert C. Mayham, The Anti-Rent War on Blenheim Hill (1906), pp. 83–84, recollection of Mrs. N. K. Hoagland, his daughter. https://archive.org/download/cu31924030043131/cu31924030043131_djvu.txt The incarceration year is recorded with year precision; January 1 is a storage placeholder, not an established admission day.
