Priscilla probably was born in Essex County, England. Her father, Mark, moved the family to Ipswich, Massachusetts about 1634. She married John Warner there in about 1639. Some researchers say she was John's second wife and that he had a few children when they married. John also had been born in England and had come to Ipswich as a child with his father.
All of their children were born in Ipswich. The court held a hearing about the death of their son, Daniel, by a tree falling on him.
In about 1665, a few families, including John and Priscilla's and Pricilla's sister, Susan Symonds Ayres's, established a new settlement further inland, more in the center of Massachusetts, which later was called Brookfield. In l675, some of the settlers were ambushed by the natives and Pricilla's brother in law was killed. All the others holed up in the Ayer's home for three days while the natives burned the rest of the town. When the siege was over, the settlement broke up, many traveling back to the coast. John and Priscilla moved to Hadley, about 20 or 30 miles further west where two of their married sons lived.
In Hadley, John petitioned to be allowed out of the military because of ill health, and he died in 1692 while in his 70's. There is no record of Priscilla's death.
