Trying to find - Warner/OMore (Omoore, Omohr, Omohre) information - WI/IL/NY/VT
Okay, this is probably a very long shot as I don't have much information to go on and what information I do have I don't know if it is correct.
My husbands family genealogy/verbal lore says that one of his ancestors changed his name from O'More (or some variation of) to Warner because he was a wanted man and was fleeing the authorities for some crime (what crime is unknown).
I believe the ancestor in question was one Robert Lewis Warner. I believe it is this person because I found the obituary from his passing that states his father was millionaire H.H. Warner(Hulbert Harrington Warner). However when I delved into H.H. Warners ancestry I found that he does not have any children. Although the obit states he was and had been estranged from his father for a very long time it also stated he had siblings. H.H. Warner is also from NY, but in the 1900/1910 census Robert states he was born in WI, his father was born in VT and his mother was born in NY.
His birth date is listed as 1860, he married Barbara Chapel in 1886. So basically I can find no information for him prior to his marriage in 1886.
I am hoping someone might be searching for a missing O'More, O'Moore, O'mohr, O'Mohre or an O. More, O. Moore and that I'll get lucky. Or that one day I will find some pre-1886 - National Wanted Criminals List, here's to hoping!!
