Colonel Humphrey Warren, Sr.

Humphrey Warren, Sr. was born on June 7, 1632 in Poynton, Cheshire, England to Sir Edwardus Warren, De Poynton, Esq. and Margaret Arderne Warren. Humphrey married Eleanor Smoor and had 3 children: Humphrey Warren, Jr., Lt. Thomas Warren, and John Warren. He passed away on 1680 in Halton's Point, Charles County, Maryland, United States.

NOTE:

Edward's third child Humphrey came to Maryland by 1657 and is our first Warren ancestor in America. However, Dr. Watson's account states Humphrey was "brought up as a merchant, went to the West Indies where he married and died without issue about 1680" (page 147 Vol. ii Memoirs of the Ancient Earls--). But now it is generally accepted Mr. Charles Browning account in his Americans of Royal Descent "West Indies" in those times applied to Virginia, Maryland, and even New England. The date of Humphrey's death, 1680, was simply the last date friends in England heard from him.
