- From Genealogies of Virginia Families, Warren of Virginia and Maryland: (From Loraine Lynne Kerns)
Sir Edward Warren, Knight, of Poynton, Baron of Stockport, born 1563, died 1609. High Sheriff of Cheshire, knighted in 1599 while serving in the Irish Wars, who was sixteenth in lineal descent from William de Warren, second Earl of Surrey, died 1138, according to Watson's "Ancient Earls of Warren and Surrey and their Descendants," was the immediate progenitor of several early Virginians. Sir Edward had no issue by his first wife, a daughter of Sir Edward Fitton, and married secondly, circa 1581, Anne, daughter of Sir William Davenport, of Bromall. His fifth child by this marriage was William Warren, who was in Virginia between 1633 and 1640. I have no other information on him. Sir Edward's son and heir, John Warren, of Poynton Manor, Cheshire, died June 20th 1621; had a son John baptised in August 1606 who in 1642 was living in St. Mary's County, Maryland and was killed in 1644 by Capt. Thomas Cornwallis and party, in Maryland; I have no information that he had issue. John Warren, of Poynton, who died 1621, has as son and heir, Edward Warren, of Poynton, born 1605, died 1667, whose third son was Colonel Humphrey Warren, born 7th June 1632, a planter in Charles County, Maryland, 1666, and in 1689 was appointed one of the justices of the Quorum and Coroner, and commander of the troops of Charles County, and was signer of the celebrated "Remonstrance" of the Maryland colonists, dated 27th March 1689. Colonel Humphrey's will, on file at Annapolis, is dated 14th August 1689, proved 25th February 1694-5. He names his sons Notley, Benjamin, Charles, John and Humphrey; his wife Margery, and divides about 800 acres of Charles county between them. He refers to a legacy from "The Hon'ble Thomas Notley" to his son Notley Warren. Thomas Notley, Gent., was a Burgess and a member of the Lower House of Maryland and an attorney at law; will proved 3rd April 1679. What was his relationship to, or interest in Notley Warren, I do not know. Nor have I any information as to whether or not Colonel Humphrey Warren's children had issue, excepting in the case of his son, John Warren, Gent., of Charles County, whose will was proved 13th February 1713-14, but he names only two daughters, Mary and Ann, and his wife Judith. The aforesaid Sir Edward Warren of Poynton, married, thirdly, 1597-8 Susan, born 1577, died 1636, daughter of Sir William Booth, of Dunham-Massey, and had by her Lieutentant Radcliffe Warren, who was unfortunately killed in Claiborn's raid on the Isle of Kent in 1635 (I have no knowledge if his issue, if any) and Thomas Warren, some of whose descendants for several generations are traced by their wills and realty transactions. In 1735 he patented 300 acres of land in Charles City county VA - 150 acres in right of his wife, Susan Greenleaf, widow of Robert Greenleaf, "an ancient planter" and 150 acres for the personal adventure of himself and two servants. He was a Burgess both in James City county and in Surry county as late as 1666. He had as second wife, marriage contract dated 25th September 1654, Elizabeth, widow of Major Robert Sheppard, of Lower Chipoaks. He had sons, John, Richard and Thomas but by which wife they were is not in eveidence. The son, Thomas Warren Jr., lived in Isle of Kent, MD (as did also his brother Richard) and was a planter, having a farm, seat or manor called "Poynton" after the ancestral seat in Cheshire, and was Lieutenant of the county company of soldiers. His will, dated 19th December 1684, proved 28th March 1685, names his wife "Elizabeth", but in Barton pedigrees she is called "Sarah". She was a daughter of Captain William Barton, of Charles County, High Sheriff, Justice, and one named in the "List of Good, Honest, Substantial Protestants in Maryland".
Lieutenant Thomas and Elizabeth Warren had several children, among them Thomas, heir, of Charles county. He was a planter, and lived on his plantation called "Frailty". His will, dated 6th January 1705-6, proved 23rd November 1710 gives "Frailty" to his wife, Jane, and 300 acres of land to son, Thomas; mentions son, Barton, under age, and several daughters, and that his wife was with child. This minor son, Barton Warren, of Charles county, planter lived to inherit a portion of "Frailty" and by his will, proved 9th March 1757-8, divided a considerable estate among his sons, Notley, John, William, Barton, Edward and Robert, Mary Musgrove, Jane Hungerford and Susannah. This Robert Warren, of Charles county, born 1720, married and removed late in life to Tennessee. One of his children, Mary Warren, married John Stone, of Charles county, planter, born 1748, died 1776, who was a son of Thomas Stone, Jr., of Charles county (a brother of David Stone of "Poynton", the father of Thomas Stone, of Charles COunty, a signer of the Declaration of Independence), a son of Thomas Stone, of "poynton", Charles county, MD. (A grandson of Captain William Stone, first Protestant Gonernor of the Province of Maryland, 1648) and his wife, Elizabeth Warren, one of the daughters of the aforesaid Lieutenant Thomas Warren, Jr., of Charles county, who died in 1684.
