John Warren traveled with Governor Winthrop aboard the "Arabella". From Salem, he with the rest of the company went to Charlestown, whence, after a brief stay they moved to Watertown. John Warren settled in Watertown, Massachusetts at age 45. He was admitted as a freeman on May 18,1631; and was Selectman from 1636 to 1640 which was a position of high regard. In 1635, he and Abraham Browne were appointed to lay out all highways, and to see that they were repaired.
“However, he does seem to have lost some favor with the authorities sometime thereafter as can be seen from the old records. He sympathized with the Quakers, and was at odds with the Puritan Church. In October 1651, he and Thomas Arnold, were each fined 20 shillings for an offence against the laws concerning baptism. On April 4, 1654, he was fined, for neglect of public worship, 14 Sabbaths, each 5 shillings = 3 pounds, 10 shillings. On March 14, 1658/59, he was to be warned for not attending public worship; but "old Warren is to be found in town". On May 27, 1661, the houses of "old Warren and goodman Hammond", were ordered to be searched for Quakers. He appears to have agreed in religious sentiments with Dr. John Clark, of Newport, Nathaniel Briscoe, Sr., who returned from Watertown to England, Thomas Arnold, who moved from Watertown to Providence, RI. They were probably all Baptists. Despite his lack of conviction for the established church and his leanings toward the Quaker faith, John never gave up or lost his church membership. He may have kept his membership to avoid losing some privileges, such as voting, etc.
“By the time the first inventory of grants and possessions was taken in Watertown in 1639, John had acquired 278 acres of land, including 1) a homestall of 12 acres bounded west with the highway, east by William Hammond, north by John Biscoe, and south by Isaac Stearns; 2) 9 acres of upland bounded south by John Biscoe, north by William Hammond, end east and west with his own land; 3) 3 acres of meadow bounded east by William Hammond, north by John Simson, and west with his own; 4) 13 acres of plowland in the further plain, lot 84; 5) thirteen of meadow in the remote meadows, lot 50; 6) 16 1/2 acres upland beyond the further plain, lot 19; 7) 60 acres of upland being a great Divident in the fourth division, lot 26; 8) a farm of 152 acres upland in the third division. His homestall lot of 12 acres, in 1642, was bounded west by the highway, east by William Hammond, north by John Biscoe, south by Isaac Sterne. He, also, then owned 7 other lots, amounting to about 176 acres. In the second inventory taken in 1644 the 152 acre farm had been dispose of, but John has been granted: 8) 1 1/2 acres of meadow in Wards Meadow bounded by Thomas Arnold; 9) 1 1/2 acres of meadow near the little plain adjoining to John Eddy; 10) 2 acres of marsh southeast with the river and the west by the backlane. By the end of his life, John still owned 188 acres of land.
“His wife, Margaret, died November 6,1662, and he died December 13,1667, aged 82. John Warren's Will, dated November 30, proved December 17, 1667, mentions the following children, probably all born in England; John, Mary, Daniel, Elizabeth. The Will gives to son Daniel the 16 acres of land he now lives on; to daughter Mary Bigelow, 16 acres of land in lieu of township, now in her possession; to daughter Elizabeth Knapp, 16 acres of plowland, now in possession of her husband, James Knapp. The residue to sons John and Daniel. [Prob. Rec.III.,p.345]. In his Will he gave his daughter Elizabeth a book titled "the playnes man path way to heaven". He also mentioned his sons Daniel and John, daughter-in-law Mary Warren, wife of Daniel, daughter Mary Bigelow, Elizabeth Knap, wife of James Knap, grand children Warren, Mary Bigelow, and Michal Bloyce, daughter of Richard Bloyce. The Will was witnessed by Joseph Taynter and John Randall. Inventory of the estate was taken Dec.16, 1667 by John Coolidge, and Henry Freeman and amounted to 167.4.0.
