In Vaughan Woods Memorial State park there is a plaque marking the home site of James and Margaret Warren. In the 1630's, much of this property was bought by Europeans and often given to indentured servants upon completion of their service. James Warren, a Scot loyal to the King of England during the civil war, was one of these indentured servants. At the end of his indentures, he settled on a 50 acre lot within the current park^[3]

There is no documentation that Margaret Richards married James Warren of Maine since records only refer to her by first name.

Research Notes
