Regarding Henry Yates House. It is the oldest house in Warsaw, which Yates (1786-1865) and town founder Col. Robert Johnson platted as Fredericksburg in 1815. (It was changed to Warsaw in 1831 upon the discovery of another Fredericksburg in Kentucky.) Not long after the name change, Yates moved to Illinois, where one of his sons, Richard (who was born in Warsaw), served as governor during the Civil War.
