Warren (1760-1851), a descendant of John Warren of Watertown, Massachusetts, was a surveyor with the Moses Cleaveland expedition to the Connecticut Western Reserve in 1796 and an early settler in Warrensville Township, Ohio. He was one of the founders of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1837 and served as a trustee, treasurer, and overseer of the poor for the township. He died in Warrensville in 1851, survived by 3 of his children, including Daniel Warren (1786-1862), Anna Wilcox Prentiss, and Moses Warren, Jr. Daniel Warren's wife, Margaret (Prentiss), purportedly gave the township her husband's name. The collection consists of typed and handwritten copies of Allene Beaumont Duty's genealogy "The Warren Family: Ancestors and Descendants of Moses Warren of Warrensville, Ohio, from John Warren of Watertown, Massachusetts, with allied families." Also included are primary and secondary source materials as well as subject files for the compilation of the Warren genealogy. The collection pertains primarily to the genealogy of the Warren family from 1630 through the 1980s. | | | | Call #: | MS 4218 | | | | Extent: | 0.61 linear feet (2 containers and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Duty, Allene Beaumont, 1912- | Warren, Moses, 1760-1851 -- Family. | Warren family. | Pioneers -- Ohio -- Western Reserve. | Massachusetts -- Genealogy. | Warrensville (Ohio : Township) -- Genealogy.
