ellyssianI might have found a mention of Peter Obid's father.
An Obadiah Warren was captured by the British during the American Revolution, and registered into the prison fleet on the Jersey, at what would become the Brooklyn Naval Yard.
Details here
Of course, it doesn't provide any other information - no identifying information beyond the name - but it might explain why he was noticably absent from the 1790 census. True, an Obadiah Warren appeared in NC, but I've got no information that puts any of the ancestral line anywhere but Michigan, New York, or Massachusetts.
EDIT: More breakthroughs. Real, usablefulTM ones. A bunch of things over on RootsWeb that have ancestors and/or descendents of Obed Warren and Mercy/Mary Blood. The descendents are from either Obed Jr. or Celestia, and most only list one or the other. One, however, has both of them. And Roxy. And - here's the good part - Peter. Not Peter Obid. No birthdates, deathdates, places, or anything else. But... it seems to reinforce the evidence - or lack thereof - regarding Obed[iah] Warrens during the late 1700's in the 13 colonies.
