Colonel Andrew Sylvester Warner, son of Andrew Jr., and Elizabeth Clark (Young) Warner, was born in Vernon, Oneida County, New York, January 12, 1819, and died at Sandy Creek, Oswego County, New York. In 1837 he came with his family to Sandy Creek, attending schools in Mexicoville NY (now Mexico) and then going to Rome, NY, for further education. In 1844 he entered the NYS militia, and during the Civil War he was active in recruiting, and commissioned the 147th Regiment, NYSV, departing Sandy Creek on Sept 27, 1862. While in the war he contracted typhoid and was discharged, and of the 837 men he took to war 147 returned to Oswego County.

On October 19, 1842 he married Mary E. Greene , daughter of H.K. Greene of New Haven, Oswego Co., they had two children, Albert A. (1846-1923), and Gerrit S.(1855-1907) Warner. Mary died on June 22, 1859.

He then married Chloe Monroe of Sandy Creek on Oct 3, 1861, daughter of Barnabas Monroe.

Col. A.S. Warner died at his home near Sandy Creek, Sunday. Col. Warner was born at Vernon, Oneida County in 1819 and removed to Sandy Creek in 1834. He was elected to the Assembly in 1855 and 1856 and to the Senate in 1860 and 1861.

At the outbreak of the Civil War, he went to the front as Colonel of the 147th Regiment, but resigned some time after on account of ill health. In 1872, he ran as independent candidate for Congress in opposition to William Baker of Constantia, and was endorsed by the Democrats. He carried Oswego County by over 400 majority, but his majority was wiped out in Madison County, then in this Congressional district, by the refusal Of the Bourbon Democrats to support him. Two years ago Col. Warner was a candidate for the Republican nomination for the Senatorship, but his health did not permit him to make an active canvass, and he was scarcely able to leave his house until his death. His activity in politics gave him a wide acquaintance, in the county, and there will be genuine and general regret at his demise.
