Allen Wardner (December 13, 1786 – August 29, 1877) was a Vermont banker, businessman and politician who served as State Treasurer.

[1] His family moved to Windsor, Vermont in 1800 and Wardner was trained as a store clerk and merchant.

Whether he attended West Point or was educated elsewhere, he returned to Vermont in 1809 or 1810 to begin a business career.

[3] In 1810 Wardner joined the Jefferson Artillery, a Windsor militia unit made up of Democratic-Republicans, in anticipation of the War of 1812.

[20] In the 1837 election the incumbent State Treasurer, Augustine Clarke, received the most votes, but fell short of the majority required by the Vermont Constitution.

[21] The legislature was split between Democrats, Whigs and Anti-Masons, and failed to choose a winner.

In the 1850s Wardner was active in the American Colonization Society, which opposed slavery and advocated having African-Americans relocate to communities in Africa and South and Central America.

Maxwell Evarts (1862–1913), was a New York City and Vermont attorney, banker and business executive.
