Greetings from the Sunflower State, I am a descendant of James and Margaret Warren who settled in Berwick, Maine in the mid-1650s. Most of what I know of this ancestral line comes from the work of Vanetta Hosford Warren. My line is as follows: 1 James Warren* (c 1620-1702) m Margaret (d 1713) 2 James Warren (1658-1725) m Mary Frost/Foss? (b 1667) 3 Gilbert Warren (1703-1755) m Abigail (1705-1740) 4 Gideon Warren (1726-1804) m Hannah Morrell (b 1731) 5 Adriel Warren, our Revolutionary War hero (b 1751/2) m Lefe/Lese (?) 6 Henry B. Warren (1803-1890) m Rebecca Moore (1820-1882) 7 Storm Warren (1850-1932) m Phoebe Jane Squire Ward (1847-1939) 8 Clarence Henry Earl (CE) Warren, Sr. (1889-1973) m Rube Ellen Johnston (1891-1983) 9 Bethel Warren (1924-2001) m Rev. Walter E. Racker (b 1920) 10 Walter E. Racker IV (b 1946) m Kay Adele Snedeker (b 1947) *In case not all the new members realize it, "Canadian Geographic" magazine featured a wonderful article on Grisel Warren (eldest daughter of our first James Warren). Her story is told with intriguing detail in "Virtual Vieux Montreal," an article by Douglas Hunter, in the July/August 2002, edition (Volume 122, #4). Most large city and college libraries should carry it or be able to get it via interlibrary loan. If you have no luck, send me a large post-paid envelope and I'll share what I have. It's a fascinating look even for those of us who are only marginally related. You should also know about a wonderful book called "Dunnybrook" (with a U), by Gladys Hasty Carroll, published at the turn of the century. This is filled with wonderful stories of many of our kin. Finally, "The Tory Lover," by Sarah Orney Jewett, provides a fictionalized account of the naval career of Gideon Warren, who is reputed to have served with John Paul Jones. Both of these books are available from the normal web-based old book search sites. Best of luck, and let me know if I can share any info.
