Hello America,
Does anyone descend from Francis Warren b 1816 and his wife Mary Ann Payne and their 4 sons, Walter b 1840, Edwin b 1842, Francis b 1844 and Albert b 1847?
Francis senior is a 5th great uncle to me.
I have their marriage certificate -
1 May 1839, by licence, at Heavitree, Devon
Francis Warren, 25, yeoman, of Cutcombe Somersetshire, father = Simon Warren, yeoman
Mary Ann Payne 23 spinster of Whipton, Heavitree, father = John Payne, yeoman
Thomas Baker, his brother in law and my 4th ggf, was a witness.
Marriage notice in Western Times newspaper 8 June 1839 ... "At Heavitree, Mr. Francis Warren, third son of Mr. Warren, of Cutcombe, Somerset, to Mary Ann, eldest daughter of Mrs. Payne, Whipton, Heavitree."
I can see this family in 1841 England census at Legans? farm, Clyst St Lawrence, Devon.
Francis Warren 25 farmer born in County (Devon)
Mary Ann Warren 25 born in County (Devon)
Walter Warren 1 born in County (Devon)
They emigrate to America, arriving New York 31 May 1844 on the ship "the Virginian" (familysearch)
Francis Warren 26 farmer (born) England
Mrs Warren 25
Walter Warren 3
Edward Warren 1 ... Free BDM has Edwin
I think they go to Ohio first with or to other Warren cousins, for 1844 until say 1848, and they quickly move on to Missouri in time for the 1850 US census ...
at Clay township, Lafayette County, Missouri, United States
Francis Warren 38 farmer born England
Mary Ann Warren 36 born England
Walter Warren 11 born England
Edwin Warren 9 born England
Francis Warren 7 born Ohio
Albert Warren 4 born Ohio
So, summing up ... what I would like to know is :
Where did the family go after 1850 because I can't find them in Missouri?
Did the go back to Ohio, or on to California, or perish in the Civil War, which hit Missouri very hard?
I don't have anything else for Francis senior.
I have not found his baptism, and do not want any search made for it, thankyou, because I am satisfied with the information I already have/do not have on that score.
The sister closest in age, Charlotte Elliott, gives Dunkeswell, Devon as her birthplace in one census and their older sisters, including my 4th ggm Jane Baker, say nearby Upottery. The latter suits other records I have for the period.
2 other siblings, Elizabeth Hawkins and Simon Warren, and their families, also emigrate to America in mid 1840's and they live close together, in Buchanan County, but are not in Missouri c 1850, I found Simon in Ohio, I don't see any of Francis's family with them in later census. I can say that Francis was still alive when his father, Simon senior, wrote his will in 1862.
Today when I look at
Francis junior on my Anc* tree there are 10 !! hints for a Francis b Ohio c 1844 or 1845, including Civil War enlistment 1862 aged 18, Civil War pension record, census in California and later in Washington state and death 9 Aug 1921, Colfax, Washington (with father ass Francis mother Mary, possible marriage 1875 to Elizabeth A. ... and an interesting tree ... Hardman aka Dairyville/Oregon Ghost Town ... that has all of these hints, haha
WOW - and currently we are only UK subscribed at Anc*. I can see some of these hints on familysearch freeview. Walter, Edwin and Albert don't get any Anc* auto hints, poor chaps.
So are these guys belonging to anyone? Any information posted here of interest to Warren hunters, I shall be only tooo please to share.
Any help with Uncle Francis or his sons will be much appreciated.
Salute,
Janelle
