Descendants of Abraham Warren and Mary Ann Horsington (at least two or three generations)
I don't descend from this family (at least not that I know of), but some Warren descendants do seem to cross paths with my own ancestors on occasion, so they're a family of interest to me.
I'm sure I have TONS of holes in my information about the descendants of Abraham WARREN and Mary Ann HORSINGTON, but I still think it's a good idea to put what I have here in case other Warren researchers would like to jump in and either correct me, or add to the available data.
Abraham WARREN was born about 1709. He married Mary Ann HORSINGTON, daughter of Benedictus HORSINGTON and Dinah CARRAWAY.

Again, if you have any further information on this family, or if I've made any mistakes here, please comment below. 🙂
Just stumbled on this... a WARREN deed abstract witnessed by my elusive Laban MORRIS. [from Abstracts of Deeds, Craven Co, NC, Books 40, 41, & 42 (1817-1823) by Dr. A.B. Pruitt.]
January 8, 1816 - Jeremiah WARREN (Craven County) to my son Lewis WARREN (same); for natural love towards my son gave 50 acres; border: begins below plantation where I live at first branch where second line of John WILLIAMS' patent crosses said branch, joins a swamp, & mouth of first branch where it joins the swamp; part of grant Jul. 23, 1741 to John WILLIAMS (signed) Jeremiah WARREN; Witnesses: Laban MORRIS & Caleb OTSEN; wit. oath Jun 1820 by Caleb OTSEN; Craven County Deed Book 42, p. 67.
I can add to this, some.
Abraham Warren, Jr. and Ann had the following:
- Sydney Warren married John Blakey 5 Jan 1792. They had seven children by the time her mother died in 1810: Jesse, Sarah, Levi, David, Susannah, John, Nancy.
- Nancy Warren married John Reel 4 Aug 1803: John, Sarah "Sally" Ann, Alfred.
- Mary Warren married Levi Gaskins 10 Apr 1806: Martha, Ann, Thomas.
- Jeremiah Warren. Don't know who he married, but he may have had a son named Abraham mentioned in his grandmother's will.
- Susannah Warren married John Hall 14 Sep 1810.
There may have been other grandchildren, but these are all the ones mentioned in the estate papers of Ann Warren.
The long lived Valentine Warren was the son of Horsington Warren.
Malachi Otterson and Sarah Warren had another daughter, Charlotte, who was a little older than Lydia according to Sarah's estate papers.
Henry Warren had sons Henry and Shadrack (Beaufort Deed Book 13, page 490, for Shadrack).
James Mitchell and Mary Warren had the following: Martha "Patsy", Elizabeth "Betsy", Nancy, Sarah "Sally" Ann. Patsy married a William Tyre according to her father's estate papers.
Young Laughinghouse and Mary "Polly" Hendricks had one more daughter that I know of: Sarah Ellen Laughinghouse. My line comes through Emily Augusta Laughinghouse who married Alfred Gatlin. Her brother, John, married Alfred's sister, Elizabeth.
