I am descended from Jeremiah WARREN b. abt. 1778, who is listed in the Franklin Co., AL census beginning in 1850. His wife was Nancy b. abt. 1810, her state of birth given as Georgia. Their land later became part of Colbert Co. Their oldest son (my ancestor) was John H. WARREN, b. 1827; I have never found out what the "H." stood for. Their other children were: Charles Jackson, b. 1833; Ann, b. abt. 1838; Cassy Ann, b. abt. 1842; Marion (male) b. abt. 1845 and Elizabeth, b. abt. 1845, all in AL. I have found one other WARREN reference in Franklin Co. in that time period, the estate of Hugh WARREN in the same census. Jeremiah's service records from The War of 1812 lists his place of enlistment as Clayville, in what is now Harrison Co., KY. I also have a copy of an affidavit executed 6 November, 1850 in Franklin Co., AL which details his enlistment and discharge dates for the purpose of obtaining a bounty land grant. I am hopeful that we can find a connection between your WARREN children and my line in AL. The Franklin Co. connection may bear fruit. At present, I am unable to get past Jeremiah to his line. Thank you... Dale Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
