Early Life
Edwin Warfield was born to Albert G. Warfield and Margaret Gassaway Warfield at the "Oakdale" plantation in Howard County, Maryland. He received early education at the public schools of Howard County and at St. Timothy's Hall in Catonsville, Maryland. After the abolition of slavery in the United States, Warfield had to return home frequently to help run his family's estate. He also spent time as a teacher in the county schools, and, in his spare time, studied for admission to the bar. Warfield founded The Daily Record as a court and commercial paper in 1888. By his father he was a 3rd cousin to the Duchess of Windsor (née Bessie Wallis Warfield), wife of the abdicated king of the United Kingdom, Prince Edward, Duke of Windsor.
