Hi Listers, I found this interesting site and since it listed a WARREN surname I wanted to pass it along to you. I've copied and pasted the first two paragraphs to give you an idea of the site, but many of the "Richard Warren" line is listed there. There are also many other surnames listed and I think it's worth a look. Good luck in your research, Angela http://www.schenectadyhistory.org/families/hmgfm/warren-1.html Hudson-Mohawk Genealogical and Family Memoirs: Warren Index to All Families | Search by keyword Index to Families by County: Albany, Columbia, Fulton, Greene, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, Warren, Washington Go to previous family: Phillips | next family: De Witt [This information is from Vol. I, pp. 354-362 of Hudson-Mohawk Genealogical and Family Memoirs, edited by Cuyler Reynolds (New York: Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1911). It is in SCPL's Reference collection at R 929.1 R45. Some of the formatting of the original, especially in lists of descendants, may have been altered slightly for ease of reading.] The emigrant ancestor of the Warrens, of Troy, New York, was Richard Waring, who arrived in Boston on the ship "Endeavor," accompanied by his young son, Richard, in 1664, and shortly afterwards settled on Long Island. He spelled his name Waring, and as such was one of the original proprietors of Brookhaven, Long Island, in 1665. The name Warren and Waring are both used by the descendants of the Warrens in this country, although it is distinctly proven that in England they are two separate families, their ancient armorial bearings being totally different, which is conclusive. The first Warren who came from Normandy to England was William de Warrene, who was a near relative of the Conqueror, and who married the king's daughter Gundredd. The name "Warrenne" came from Varenne, a district in Normandy, not far from Dieppe, in which the family had a property and a castle called "Bellencombre" (the fair mound), part of which was standing in 1832. He was William of Varenne, or Warrene. There were eight Earls of Warren and Surrey. The great cradle of the Warrens was in Cheshire, although from that they migrated to different parts of England.
