    3. History of Amos Sweet Warren Springville, Utah Pioneer of 1850 While going through my grandmothers family records I found this and was wondering if there are any family members of the Warren group that would be interested in this It is to long that I will send it in parts. The information contained in this history was botained from the following sources Althea Warren Fullmer, a daughter of Amos Sweet Warren. Altha E. warren Jarvis & Ariel Warren Perry, daughters of Amos Benoni Warren and granddaughters of Amos S. Warren. Mildren Warren wignall Shortt, daughter of John warren, brother of Amos Benoni Warren, and younger son of Amos Sweet Warren Genealogical research done by Ida Jarvis Winkkotter daughter of Altha Warren Jarvis gr. daughter of Amos Banoni Warren and great gr. daughter of Amos S. Warren Compiled by Iona Jarvis Belka, sister to Ida and great gr. daughter of Amos S. Warren November 1913 Amos Sweet Warren Amos Sweet warren was born 10 June 1831 at Harfland, Niagara County, New York, a son of Zenos Conger Warren and Sarah Grace Sweet Warren. Very little is known of the background of the family, however, from research done it has been learned that Joshua Warren, the great grandfather of Amos Sweet Warren emmigrated from England and settled in the New England states. It was in New Jersey that John Warren, the grandfather of Amos sweet was born in 1770. With this date we established the Warren family as living in the United states before the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War in 1775. They were still living in New Jersey in 1799 when Zenos Conger, the father of Amos S. was born. Amos had a very quiet manner and was not very talkative, and when questioned about his early life he was known to reply, " I'm a blue blooded yankee from the east and that's enough.". However it has been established fromr esearch that the family generally followed farming as a means of earning a livelihood. After the marrage of zenos Conger Warren and sarah Grace Sweet, they made their homes, for a number of years in New York state. Living first in Monroe and then in Niagra Counties. All of their children were born in these two counties. It was on a farm in Michigan that this family was living when the father died on the 4th day of Mrch 1836 leaving a familay of four boys and one girl. The boys were John W., Charles Wesley, william James,and Amos Sweet. Mary Dorcas was the name of the baby sister. The eldest son was but twelve years of age and Mary Dorcas was three. Amos S. was only five. On the second of April, 1837 the mother Sarah married a widower by the name of Daniel Wood and from this marrage one son, Wellington Wood was born. Sarah Grace Sweet was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on the 6th day of Jan. 1842, and several years later,she, with her family, gathered with the Saints for the long journey to the valley of the mountains. The Warren-Wood family was members of the Arron Johnson Company of Saints who left Kanesville, Iowa, on the twelfth of June, 1850 in a company of 150 wagons.
