Moses Warren Immigrant Ancestors

32 Principal Families of Massachusetts

This list includes 32 couples whose descendants cover a vast range of American genealogy today.

12 Generations back I have a great number of ancestors that were early English Immigrants to America landing in Massachusetts Colony between 1620-1640. (1-RHall, 2-SAHall,  3-CAHall,  4-AJReid,  5-SPrentiss,  6-PWarren,  7-MWarrenII,  8-MWarrenI,  9-DWarren,  10-JWarren,  11-DWarren,  12-John Warren 1585, The Immigrant).

A key link here is the 7th generation back, Moses Warren (1760-1851) and his wife, Priscilla Nurse (1764-1842). Almost all of their 3-Great Grandparents landed in Massachusetts upto 240 years before they were born. They are deeply connected with the Great Migration of the 1630s to General Winthrop's Watertown Colony.
