[edit]He was born on January 12, 1819, in Vernon, Oneida County, New York, the son of Andrew Warner (c.1791–1843) and Elizabeth C. (Young) Warner (b. c.1796).

On October 3, 1861, he married Chloe Monroe (1840–1916), and their son was Wilbert Charles Warner MD (1864–1927). He fought in the American Civil War attaining the rank of colonel, but contracted typhoid fever and was discharged.
In 1874, he ran as an Independent for Congress in the 24th District, but was defeated by Republican William H. Baker.
