...in the stacks of some obscure books shop...

...especially considering such places are, themselves, hardly obscure to those on my FL or wider readership... =)

  • Some descendants of Arthur Warren of Weymouth, Massachusetts Bay Colony by Warren Woden Foster; New England Historic Genealogical Society (January 1, 1998); ASIN: B0006R3ZCW - as I am growing more confident by the minute that I am, in fact, a direct ancestor of said Arthur Warren, this is the most useful title of the three
  • The story of the Bloods,: Including an account of the early generations of the family in America in genealogical lines from Robert Blood of Concord and Richard Blood of Groton by Roger Deane Harris; Priv. print., G.K. Hall (January 1, 1960); ASIN: B0007DTAFQ - on account that said direct lineage to Arthur Warren involves a grandmother in the Blood family, this is of only slightly less importance
  • The Warren family: Ancestors and descendants of Moses Warren of Warrensville, Ohio from John Warren of Watertown, Massachusetts with allied families (Unknown Binding) by Allene Beaumont Duty; Xerox Reproduction Center; 1st ed edition (1984); ASIN: B0006EIL4C - this one is only of value as a curiousity, at least at this point; sadly, out of the three, it is the only one that can be found on Amazon.com; doubly sadly, at $150, it's not a quick pick

On a related note (harrumph!) there is a very definite coat of arms used by Arthur Warren - and some how Dr. Warren (of kicking-Revere's-horse-off-on-a-sartain-ride fame; not to mention starring in a number of Liberty's Kids episodes, and, along the way, starting some goofy school for other doctors - Harvard Medical School, I think, not that anyone will have heard of it...) wound up with the seal on a ring; as of this moment that's the only implication that there may be a relation there. That - The Doctors Warren of Boston: First Family of Surgery - is one book I *do* have, so we'll see what happens once I read up on it.

Anyway, I'll probably be looking into the heraldry there and maybe that of some of the other families - be curious to see what the Clan Riddle (ETA: which would be here) has and all.

Well, I've still just got a toe in the water, entering in all the data from my dad's collection and from Duffy's document, but I'm already trying to probe the Great Mystery for me - and that's to follow the Warren surname back a lot further than the late 1700s where I'm currently stuck.

Mysteries, Mercy, and Watertown Warrens... )

Gah. Where's a time machine when you need one? Probably all stuck in a traffic jam at some really cool moment.

At least I still have my 23 generation descent which takes me back into Merrie Auld England (posted this past Sunday, for those who don't read LJ on weekends.) And that doesn't even touch the White --> Bowen family line, which lists a Bryn Myr, King of the Britons as the first descendant. Okay, it doesn't quite, I'm being a bit silly. His name was actually Beli Mawr, King of Britain, 100 BC.

In other news, and by way of explanation of the mood, I had a close encounter with a beautiful red tailed hawk this morning - she flew alongside me, making eye contact all the way along the fields, until the tree line approached, and then she cut behind me and soared nearly straight up into the air. Part of me flew up into the sky with her, the other part showed up here at work and wrote a poem about it. =)
