| Notes |
- A February 2007 DNA test has placed our Warrens back to the Poynton, Cheshire County,
England Warren family. We match DNA with the Maryland Humphrey Warren family.
We do not match DNA with the Rapphannock County, Virginia Warren family, whom
we previously thought we were directly related to.
Hugh Warren - 1729 is listed on the Frederick County, Virginia tax listings for 1759,
probably after turning 21.
Preliminary work by Holland Warren and message board traffic from Norma Kirchhofer
place Hugh Warren and wife Margaret in Frederick County, VA in the1750's. [Great job
to you both]. Hopefully on my next trip to SLC for my own satisfaction, I'll ensure our
Warren branch has some paper records to back up this new info.
I still need to verify Norma's Genforum message with followup research in Salt Lake
City. This makes sense to me; based on my research about 15 years ago when I tried
to tie Hugh Warren (ca 1725) back to the Humphrey Warren branch unsuccesfully.
Recent DNA research ties our Hugh Warren branch directly back to the Poynton
Warrens.
Here is Norma's genforum message:

Between 1768-1772 Hugh Warren lived in the area of Tryon County NC included all
or parts of present day NC counties: Burke, McDowell, Polk, Rutherford, Cleveland,
Lincoln Gaston and present day SC counties: Spartanburg, Cherokee, York, Lancaster,
Greenville, Laurens,Union,Newberry, Chester.
Hugh Warren was in South Carolina by 1770, noted by land patents shown below. The
land was located near Wofford's Iron Works and the west side of the Pacolet River in
what is currently Chester Co., SC, but was at that time in the 96th district, Spartanburg,
SC. The land was originally located on the west side of the Pacelet river, Craven County,
South Carolina. The land was sold to a Thomas Warren; documented on 16 February,
1787. Hugh Warren's wife, Sarah agreed to the Sale. This is the only mention of his wife
that has been uncovered to date. It is unknown the relationship to Thomas Warren to
whom Hugh Warren sold the land to. It was once thought this might be Thomas Hackley
Warren; but this is now in question, since there is no direct relationship to the Hackley
Warren family through DNA testing.

The Kentucky Warrens became acquainted with a wealthy land owner, Nathaniel Owens.
He owned some 8,000 acres in northern Green County and built a Georgian brick home
and called it Lashfield. It was located 10 miles north of Greensburg. The Warren
families moved on and near the 8,000 acres and farmed the land. A notable story about
the Owens family should be told. Nathaniel had a beautiful young daughter. She was
courted by many young and eligible men, including one man who would be president.
Abe Lincoln lived in a nearby settlement, and apparently made trips to see Miss Owens.
During one dinner party, Lincoln noticed a small, dead mouse in the pudding. He did not
wish for his hostess to be embarrassed. He carefully removed the mouse from the
serving dish and ate what was on his plate.
UP COUNTRY OF SOUTH CAROLINA The areas between the Broad River and Saluda
River at that time in 1775 were under the command of Col. Thomas Fletchall, who would
later become a staunch Loyalist to Britain. He lived on the lower Fair Forest River, about
six miles from present Union, South Carolina. The people below the upper portions were
not as favorable to the American cause and from these people came many of the tories who
would side and fight with the British in the coming war. One asks why were the people in
the upper portions of the State more favorable to the cause of freedom. In "The History of
Spartanburg County", Dr. Landrum states:"...the extreme up-country of South Carolina, was
settled by emigrants who advanced from north to south and in front of the eastern settlers.
These settlements did not begin until after the ceding of said territory by the Cherokee
Indians under Governor Glen .... As far back as 1736, settlements from the seacoast had
progressed westward only about eighty or ninety miles. In 1755 the population of the
territory afterwards formed into the county of Spartanburg, including Colonel Clarke the
first settler of the Pacolet, did not consist of more than eight or ten Scotch-Irish families
from Pennsylvania....who settled on the forks of the Tygers. Soon however, emigration
began to pour infrom Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia, and other colonies, as well
as from the old countries, and the country began to be rapidly be settled up.....Many of these
settlers of the up-country were of English extraction and dissenters from the Established
Church of the mother country. These were mostly immigrants from Virginia." So at the
beginning of the Revolution, the two areas of South Carolina; the one having settled from
over the mountains to the North and the other from the coast, had not really met or
commingled. This explains why the people of the upper regions of Carolina were of a
different mold and more willing to take up the American cause.
