Philip Warlick, born November 30, 1794 in Lincoln County, North Carolina, was the first
Warlick to move to Tennessee and raise a family. He was the son and eldest child of Daniel Warlick (born Aug. 17, 1771) and Margaret Ramsour (born Oct. 16, 1777), who were married in January of 1794 in Lincoln Co., N.C.
Daniel’s father, Johann Nicholas Warlick was the son of Johann Daniel Warlick
from the Palatinate area of Western Germany.
Johann Daniel Warlick was born about 1710, in Stuttgart, Witenburg, Germany and was the son of Martin Warlick and Katherine Klore. Johann Daniel Warlick arrived in Philadelphia on Aug. 19, 1729 on the ship Mortonhouse.
He was among one hundred and eighty Palatines arriving and taking the oath of allegiance that day.
According to a book published by Mrs. Rachel Warlick Dunn, Second Edition - Daniel Warlick of Lincoln County and His Descendants, Johann Daniel Warlick Settled in Trappe Section, in Philadelphia and was married twice in Pennsylvania. His first marriage occurred about 1736 to Maria Margaretta Marstellar, who died about 1746 in Pennsylvania. Maria was the mother of his children:
(1) Daniel Warlick, Jr. - born Sept. 13, 1738 in Pennsylvania. He was killed by Indians from
the area of Catawba County, N.C. around the year 1760.
(2) Johann Nicholas Warlick - born 1736, in Berks Co., Pennsylvania, died June 20, 1780, at
the Battle of Ramsour’s Mill with his brother Philip. He was Captain of the Tory forces. He
married Anna Barbara Eaker (1749-1800), daughter of Hans "Peter" Eaker (b. 1720) and his wife Anna Barbara___ (b. abt. 1730).
Johann Nicholas and Anna Barbara Eaker Warlick were the parents of Daniel Warlick, the father of my Philip Warlick (b. Nov. 30, 1794).
(3) Valentine Warlick, born 1742, married Catherine Whisenhunt, born 1752.
Johann Daniel Warlick’s second marriage occurred about a year after Maria Margaretta’s death, to Maria Barbara Schindler. They came to North Carolina about 1753 and were issued land grants of approximately 5,100 acres, and were among the first pioneers west of the Catawba River. They settled near the Daniels Church for which he gave the land where the church now stands. Johann Daniel and Maria Barbara Schindler had seven children.
It is from Johann Nicholas Warlick, born 1736, (the son of Johann Daniel Warlick and first wife Maria Margaretta Marstellar) and his wife Barbara Eaker (born 1749) that my Philip Warlick (born 1794) was descended.
Philip Warlick married Nancy Norris on January 17, 1828 in Lincoln County, North Carolina. Nancy Norris, born October 11, 1799, in Loudoun Co., Virginia, was the daughter of John and Jane Norris. John and Jane Norris were plantation owners in the area of Lincoln and Catawba Counties of North Carolina, which was verified through his will dated Feb. 17, 1836. Both of Nancy’s parents are buried in Salem Lutheran and Reformed Church Cemetery located approximately one mile inside the Lincoln County line (which was part of Catawba County from 1842-1847).
Shortly after Philip and Nancy Warlick were married they left for West Tennessee, where Philip had been issued Land Grants. They arrived by December 6, 1828, when their first child, daughter Cynthia Jane Warlick was born in Jackson, Tennessee, the county seat of Madison County.
They made their home on over 350 acres of land in the area of the south and middle forks of the Forked Deer River, which Philip had obtained through General Land Grants and West Tennessee Land Grants.
Philip and Nancy Norris Warlick had seven children.
Their children were: Cynthia Jane, William Franklin, John Norris, Laura Ann, Frances Eliza,
Emily Catharine, and James P. Warlick.
John Norris WARLICK (son of Philip and Nancy) was born 1832, d. 1888. He married to Nancy LORETZ (1836-1900), daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth Reinhardt LORETZ. John and Nancy Loretz WARLICK had a son Norris Reinhardt WARLICK (b. 1860) - my 2nd great-grandfather.

Notes:
General 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11: Dates per tombstone marker. Death certificate indicates that he died in Fort Worth, Tarrant Co, TX, of "Septic Pneumonia" with "Empyema Gallbladder" as a contributory cause. Duration of problem 4 or 5 days.
Mother and father were first cousins.
Enlisted in CSA, company "C", North Carolina Junior Reserves, with brother, John C. Warlick May 16, 1864 at Camp Vance, NC. Served in CSA 1864-1865. No indication that he was ever captured as was his brother John C. and another John C. Warlick. Many muster rolls and other records in National Archieves, but have yet to find either Lewis Calvin or brother John in NORTH CAROLINA TROOPS:1861-1865. History of Childress County lists him as a member of Company "B", 17th Regiment, N. C.
Left Table Rock, NC, sometime between late 1865 and 1870 census.
He and younger brother John C. G(rayson). are shown in 1870 census in Ellsworth Co., KS. They are listed as being employed in railroad construction. They lived in a rooming house along with their supervisor and other railroad employees. The Union Pacific RR trans-continental railroad was completed in 1869. The Kansas Pacific railroad went through Ellsworth, KS.
His oldest son by first marriage, L. G., was born in 1878 in the Choctaw Nation Territory which encompassed the southeast portion of Oklahoma.
Shows in 1880 census in Young Co., TX, with wife (Janie Bell) and children. Young Co., is NW of Fort Worth in the direction of Childress.
Fort Worth and Denver City railroad completed to Childress, TX, in 1887. Believe he arrrived then. Are railroad records available? Believe to have served as station master in Childress.
Conjecture is that he was in railroad business from time he arrived in Kansas until 1891. Probably employed by railroads in Oklahoma and Young Co, TX.
Widowed 1891. Remarried about 1894.
Charter member of Tell Methodist Church in 1901. Listed as trustee in 1910, which must be incorrect, as he died in 1907. Tell, TX was at one time called "Poverty Flats". JPW used to refer to "Poverty Flats", I thought it was generic. See "They Followed The Rails" and "History of Childress County".
County clerk and district clerk intermittantly from 1891-1907.
Burke Co.. NC, marriage record for a Lewis Warlick married to Ann Baily, 2/24/1867. This is Lewis Warlick, 1842-1923, eighth child of Phillip Warlick and Sara Baker Warlick. He is a first cousin of Lewis Calvin Warlick.
Mrs. Rucker states that "he first married Isabell Schooley and later Essie Hart" based on information submitted by his sister, Mary Ann Warlick Wingfield. His first wife, Janie Bell, is listed as Isabella in 1880 census. Schooley is probably incorrect, as is the Susan Pressler given as the name of Wm. Travis Campbell's wife, Sue Kenney. Janie Bell is the name on headstone at Childress, TX, as wife of Lewis Calvin and mother of O.T., L.G. and Lela Warlick. Schooley is either in error or maiden surname or surname from an earlier marriage.
Per "Peiter Heyl and His Descendants".: "He enlisted May 16, 1864, in company C, 72nd Regiment NC infantry. He married Isabell Schooley, and later, Mrs. Essie Harris, born at Childress, TX, daughter of W.T. Campbell and Susan Pressler."
Several errors in this data believed to have been submitted by his sister Mary Ann Warlick Wingfield of Pharr, TX. Essie Campbell Harris Warlick Hart was born in Austin Co, TX.
