George Warren, father of George Stewart Warren, was born in Connecticut about 1800, his parents at this time are unknown to me. In the early 1880s he came to Ohio and in court records of marriage he married Sarah Stewart the 22 June 1823 in Athens County, Ohio. Sarah was the daughter and 8th child of Daniel Stewart of Athens county Ohio. It is not known if the parents of George came to Ohio but other Warren names appear in the records at this same time. In 1834 Alexander Stewart, brother of Sarah, and George Warren built the Stewart sawmill near Savannah, Athens Ohio, but it soon burned. (History of Athens Co) The first child of George and Sarah, a daughter, Ruth, was born 10 October 1825 in Athens county. She was names after her grandmother Ruth Fulford Stewart and died in June 26th 1842 in Henry county, Iowa. George Warren also died near this time. (From probate records in Henry co, Iowa.) A pair of twins were born the 16th of September in Athens county, Ohio, George Stewart Warren and Sarah G. Warren; followed by another set of twins the 21 July 1831, Cyrenus and Sylvvenus Warren; then another son, Daniel Bartin Warren born 12 June 1833 in Athens County, Ohio. Daniel Bartin Warren came to Yreka Siskiyou County California sometime in 1866 as a land deed was found for that time, and late owned several pieces of land in Yreka. An obituary notice in the Yreka Journal for 10 December 1873 states Daniel Bartin Warren died 6 Dec. 1873 from gun wound. His administrator of his estate was George S. Warren of Modoc county, Calif. No wife or children were mentioned. The 8th of October 1837 Laura P. Warren was born in Athens County Ohio and on 11th of April 1839 Angeline Warren, also born in Athens County Ohio. Soon after the birth of Angeline, George Warren and his family moved to Henry county, Iowa. This was not an easy move as we know it today. The country of Iowa, known as Iowa Territory, was just beginning to be settled and many from Ohio were migrating further West. They may have come down the Ohio River to its entrance to the Mississippi and then up the Mississippi River to where Burlington Iowa is situated today. That was an easier way of traveling then by road and trail at that time. George Warren is found in the 1840 census of Jefferson Township, Henry County, Iowa with a post office Marshall (now changed to Wayland) still a small country town. I could not account for all the children listed by ages until I found the probate record of George Warren naming his heirs with their birth dates. Another son, William F. was born 10 December 1841 in Jefferson township, Henry county, Iowa. On the 13 August 1842 Alexander Stewart, (brother of Sarah) and Sarah Warren do solemnly swear that we will, well and truly administer all and singular the goods and chattels, rights, credits and effects of George Warren decreased. Among the personal and farms goods sold was a portrait of St. Paul for $100.00, and one Watsons Dictionery for $300.00. What would the price be now? On the front of this paper is listed the names and birth dates of all the children as heirs including William F. but on the back of a late paper the name of Ruth is not included. And on a doctors bill presented to court, visits were made June 9 1842 to June 24 1842 to George Warren, attendance of 14 miles, June 11th, 13th, 15th, 18th, 21st, and June 24th, staying through the day and night on the 18th and 24th. And on June 26th 1842, the doctor made a visit of 14 miles, attendance on Ruth Warren through the night at Zeno Plunketts. The total bill was $53.00. Among these papers was Estate of Sarah G. Taylor died on or about 21 July 1860. Sarah G. Warren had married James H. Taylor about 1852. On the 5th of April 1862 Frederick Adams do solemnly swear I will faithfully to the best of by abilities discharge my duties, according to law, as executor of the estate of Angeline Warren thus accounting for the approximate time of her death. On 24 September 1863 George S. Warren and Louesa E. Warren of Scott Valley Siskiyou county, Calif gave power of Attorney to D. B.
