John Warren (1555-1613)

John "The Middle" Warren (1552-1613)

His Father, John Warren 1522A had two surviving sons, both named John. John The Elder 1550 (b. 1550) and John The Middle (b. 1552). While it frequently happened that if an older child died his name was passed to a younger sibling, it is rare for two living children to have the same name. It is possible that John the Elder was sickly child, and the parents were not sure what prospects there were for other children.

He was taxed xvi d. on lands in the subsidy of 8 James I (1611).

He married first, Elizabeth Scarlet on October 4, 1584
