Biography

In England, this family name was spelled Warren, and this is the spelling used in essentially all published genealogies, including The Great Migration series. However, many records in Watertown, Massachusetts, include the spelling Warrin, an earlier derivation of the name.

Daniel was a son of John Warren and his wife Margaret. He was baptized at Nayland, Suffolk, England, on 25 February 1626/27.[1] He deposed in 1679 that he was 52 years old.[2][3]

In 1630 the family emigrated to New England, settling at Watertown, Massachusetts.[2]

"Danill Warin" married Mary Barron at Watertown on 10 December 1650.[2][4] Mrs. Mary Warrin an aged woman deceased February ye 13th 1716.[5] [4]

His father's will, written 30 November 1667 and proved on 16 December 1667, instructed that Daniel should receive 16 acres of land "he now lives on". [2]

Activities

From the Watertown Records.
Feb. 8, 1668 - he was " chosen surveyor of the highway...".
November 7, 1670, he was chosen " to look to fences, swine, cttle and sheep for the ensuing year. (p. 102).
He was chosen constable November 2, 1674 and among the items of his acct. as returned to the town in August 1675 is the following: " to dannil warin constable his salary and cariing corn: 01-17-06 "
He is credited with 3:3:0 pounds on February 29, 1675/76 as a member of Capt. Nathaniel Davenport's company for services in King Philip's War and also among a list of "those impressed -- residence Watertown". (Bodgis "Soldiers in King Philip's War", pp. 170-1)
In 1679 the town paid him one shilling for killing a fox.

Death

Daniel died on 24 February 1706 in Watertown. A death notice was printed in the Boston News-Letter, stating:

"Daniel Warren of Watertown, Middle Precinct, suddenly, at the beginning of the Lords Day morning exercise, Feb. 24, 1706, a. about 80 y."[6]
His wife died 13 February 1715/16 at Watertown, but the record calls her an aged woman, not wife or widow.[5]

Family

The children of Daniel and Mary (Barron) Warrin were born in Watertown:[7]

  1. 1651 Mary Warrin the daughter of Danill & mary Warrin borne the 29 of December [4]
  2. 1653 Danill Warrin sonn of Danill & Mary Warrin borne ye 6th of October [8]
  3. 1658 Sary (Sarah) Warrin daughter of Danill & Mary Warrin borne the 4th of July [9]
  4. 1660 Elizabeth Warrin daughter of Danill & Mary Warrin borne 17d 7mo (Sept) [10]
  5. 1663 Susannah Warin daughter of Danill & Mary Warrin borne the 26th of the tenth month [11]
  6. 1665 John Warrin son of Danill & Mary Warrin borne the 5th of the first month [12]
  7. 1668 Joshuah Warrin son of Danill & Mary Warrin borne the 4th of July [13]
  8. 1671 Grace Warrin daughter of Danill & Mary Warrin borne the 14th of March [14]

Research Notes

Disputed child: An ancestral file shows a second child Mary in this marriage. The other was born March 09, 1659/60 in Plymouth, Mass. She is also shown to be married to Daniel Fiske, as well as to a John Child. This birth date is too close to the birth of Elizabeth for both their dates to be correct. It is likely that this Mary has been confused with a descendant of the Mayflower Warrens.

Warren-9645 and Warren-339 appear to represent the same person because: Both profiles are child of the same man.

If you read the bio on Margaret's profile you will see the explanation as why she is listed as UNKNOWN. Until positive proof can be found the Bayley surname is just a guess.

By the way, wife Margaret is a Bayley, daughter of William Bayley of Westbury, Gloucestershire, England, whose will is dated March 2, 1613.

Warren 8009 This is also my family. Unlike some here, I was born a Warren and used that name until I married. I have traced Warren back to the de la Warrenne who came with William the Conqueror in 1066 from Normandy. This line is not connected to that one as far as I know, although I am descended from both. I have copies of wills and marriage certificates from the 1700 and 1800s and the spelling is Warren on them all.

Many immigrants in the 1600s neither read nor wrote. I've heard that many early records were taken by Germans who were perhaps better educated. People from the different countries had trouble understanding each other and names were often spelled phonetically.

Warren-6799 and Warren-339 appear to represent the same person because: Everything matches reasonably well except for the wife, but I think that the connection to Rebecca Garfield is a mistake. As I noted on Garfield-179 back in October 2015, I was unable to find any record of Rebecca Garfield in Watertown matching that profile. However, there is evidence for a Rebecca Garfield born in 1683 who married a different Daniel Warrin. She appears to have gotten connected to the wrong Daniel Warren.

ADDED: Notably, both Warren-6799 and Warren-339 have the same son: John, born in 1665. There is an approved merge for the two profiles for the son (Warren-6800 and Warrin-14). This, together with the dates, is the main indication that Warren-6799 is intended to represent the same Daniel Warrin as Warren-339. (If the two profiles for the son get merged before this pair of profiles is merged, that important clue will no longer be visible, but it needs to be recognized by people trying to make decisions about the profile.)

Warren-4554 and Warren-339 appear to represent the same person because: Same parents and siblings. The birth and death dates are different, but notice that the sources on Warren-4554 for his birth and death dates are all user-generated.

Only the marriage date is based on town records, but unfortunately the wife's name did not come through in the GEDCOM download. Notice though that the marriage date is exactly the one for Daniel Warren and Mary Barron.

Please approve, if you agree. Thanks!

First, I did considerable research on this Warrin family, including getting a copy of the original hand written Watertown records and vital statistics. John Warrin Sr. I do not believe was "ignorant" as he held various positions in town and one record has him as a witness to a document. His will was written by someone else and as you will note he was in a weakend condition and most likely unable to sign his name.

All the town records use the Warrin spelling with a couple exceptions which includes births, marriages and deaths and the widows also used the Warrin spelling in court documents. Because someone wrote a book 200 years later or some genealogists use a different spelling does not make it right, and I have followed Wiki protocol to make this agree with the name in use at that time.

If the Warren family was adamant about changing the spelling of its name to Warrin, why did Daniel's father John (who signed his name with a mark, indicating that he was ignorant of spelling) call himself John Warren in his will? (Daniel is also a Warren in that will.) See http://www.geneamusings.com/2012/09/amanuensis-monday-will-of-john-warren.html

What basis exists for the assertion "But it was done deliberately and not an error of some spelling by a town clerk"? We shouldn't be making firm assertions about our ancestors' intentions and motives unless we have records that support those assertions. Is there a record documenting that the family deliberately changed the spelling of its name?

Note that 17th-century spellings and orthography were not standardized, and many people couldn't read, write, or spell their own names. Old records show a diverse variety of spellings, probably often based on the way the name sounded to the person who created the record.
