My oldest Warren is Reverend Russell M Warren, born 1833 Ransomville NY. I think his father's name was Stephen Warren & mother Lydia Russell (not sure). The mother died 6 weeks after giving birth. Russell moved to Niagra Falls until about age 20, married Sarah Nichols in 1855, then became a Methodist Episcopal minister. He was an original founder of the Chautauqua Institution in 1878 and he served at many ME Churches in the Chautauqua NY, Warren & Erie PA, and NE Ohio areas. He died in 1911 & buried in Fredonia NY. Had 8 children. Need info on his parentage and beyond. It is written that he was "from the Warrens of Massachusetts" and family story has it that he was a descendant of the famous Dr Joseph Warren of Rev War but have no link to that.
