Johan Daniel Warlick (Wahrlock/Warlick/Warleigh) arrived in Philadelphia on 17 August 1729 aboard the ship "Mortonhouse."

Shortly after first son Daniel was born, he bought land in Oley Township in what is now Berks County.

[Robbins, Harold W., "That Old Time Religion," Genealogical Society of Old Tryon County Bulletin 5 1977, p. 4] "Perhaps the oldest of these primitive assemblies in Tryon County was that which became known as Daniel's Church (German Reformed) in present Lincoln County, N.C. Traditionally, it is said to have been led by Daniel Warlick, a pioneer German settler. In 1768, Nicholas Warlick, Peter Hefner, and other trustees of the congregation purchsed 50 acres of land from Matthew Floyd as a site for a school, church, and burying ground. Eighteen years later in 1786 they acquired a minister and were constituted as a church.
