 The Warder family is a true example of "how small this world really is" - The first   information about Luther Warder's ancestors came from William Warder, whose father was a 1/2 brother to Luther, Bob's grandfather.  William Warder and I are related thru the Hall / Renick family directly - Bob and I indirectly ???? 

A book written by Walter Warder, 1934 - WARDER FAMILY in Virginia, Kentucky and Illinois was used by many people to find the ancestor of Joseph Warder.  In the past two years, it has been brought to my attention that extensive research into the Warders of Maryland has proven otherwise.  Everett Littlefield and Sharon Combs Natoli are the two who have done so much work.  You can also leave queries at the Warder Genforum site.   (go to W surnames, then Warder)

John Warder and wife Margery were in service and transported to Charles Co., MD in 1671.  In 1673, John and wife Margery and son William had property deeded to them.  In 1712, a Mary Warder deed gifts to her son William Warder. 

In 1735 William Warder was deeded land named "Lumber Street" from Samuel Chunn and that same year he was a testator to John Fairfax's will.  (John Fairfax spouse was Mary Scott).  (all of the above from Everett and Sharon)

The book of Walter Warder's, 1934, states that Sir Phillip Warder married Mary Fairfax - yet Everett and Sharon have proven that William Warder married Mary Fairfax, daughter of John Fairfax and Mary Scott.  William and Mary Fairfax Warder are buried Nanjemony Baptist Church Cemetery, Charles Co., MD.
