Proper name

Sources are inconsistent on whether the name is, properly, "Warner's Grant" or "Warners Grant" (i.e. with the apostrophe or without), and some sources list it as "Warner's Gore".

The original charter (as reproduced in "State Papers of Vermont, Volume Two: Charters Granted by the State of Vermont", VT Secretary of State, 1922, pp 206-7) merely mentions the boundaries of the tract of land. The land was granted to Hester Warner, the widow of Col. Seth Warner (one of the leaders of the Green Mountain Boys), and Seth Warner's other heirs. While the name's origin, honoring Seth Warner, is clear, the charter does nothing to specify precise usage.

"State Papers of Vermont, Volume One: Index to the Papers of the Surveyors-General" (VT Secretary of State, 1918) lists it as "Warner's Grant or Warner's Gore" (p. 154).

The Vermont Statutes mention the grant in at least three places, each time using the term "Warner's Grant" (Title 17, Chapter 34, Section 1893; T. 24, Ch. 1, Sec. 6; and T. 24, Ch. 117, Sec. 4341(e)).

The "Gazetteer of Caledonia and Essex Counties, VT, 1764-1887" (Hamilton Child, 1887) lists the name as Warner's Grant" (p. 490).

However, "The Vermont Road Atlas and Guide" (Northern Cartographic, 1989) uses "Warners Grant" (p. 63), as do "Vermont Place-Names: Footprints of History" by Esther M. Swift (The Stephen Greene Press, 1977, pp 220-2), and the "Vermont Atlas and Gazetteer" (Delorme, 9th ed., 1996, p. 55).
