WARREN. The
family from which Mr. Charles Elliot Warren,
the subject of this sketch, is descended,.
Originally settled in Massachusetts (Richard
Warren, of the "Mayflower," Plymouth, 1620,
and John Warren of the "Arabella," with
Governor Winthrop, with the fleet of Sir
Richard Saltonstall, Salem, June 30, 1630,
settled in Watertown), the American
immigrants being lineal descendants of the
de Warrennes, of Warren and surrey, England,
A. D. 1083.
The surname
is derived from Careene or Varceene, a small
river in the old county of Calais or Caux,
in Normandy, which gave its name to the
neighboring commune, and it only a few miles
distant from Dieppe. There is at present a
village called Caronne in the same district,
and it is here that the origin of the family
has been fixed by historians. On the west
side of the river Caronne was the ancient
baronial seat of the de Warrennes, and some
of the ruins were standing as late as 1832.
The surname has assumed different forms from
time to time--Caroyn, Waroyn, Waryn, Warin,
Waring, Warynge, Waryng and Warren, the most
common. The ancestor of perhaps all English
Scotch and Irish Warrens was William de
Warrenne, who came to England with William
the Conqueror and was related to him both by
marriage and consanguinity. He had a
considerable command at the battle of
Hastings, and on account of his valor and
fidelity obtained immense grants of land
from the Conqueror. He held estates in
Shropshire, Essex, Suffolk, Oxford, Hants,
Cambridge, Bucks, Huntingdon, Bedford,
Norfolk, Lincoln and York counties,
amounting in all, according to Hume, to
three hundred lordships. He became the first
Earl of Warren and Surrey. His wife,
Gundrede, daughter of William the Conqueror,
and a descendant of Charlemange, died May
27, 1085, and was buried in the chapter
house of the Priory of Lewes, county
Sussex. Her tombstone is still in
existence. The Earl died June 24, 1988.
His epitaph has been preserved, though the
tombstone is lost or destroyed. In 1845 the
coffers containing the bones of the earl and
his countess were disinterred and are now in
the Church of St. John the Baptist,
Southover.
The history
of the Warren family has been written and is
exceeded in interest and antiquity by none
in England. In the "new England
Genealogical Register," published 1910, the
English ancestry of the immigrant John
Warren, has been proven by means of records
and wills to be different from that which
has been given before. He came from Nayland,
as did other early settlers in Watertown,
and his ancestors lived in Wiston, or

degree of Musical Doctor from several
foreign and American universities. Was a
patron of the arts and sciences. George
Boughton, of the Royal Academy, London,
commenting on his death, said to the late
Samuel P. Avery: "The saddest note of all,
told of the passing away of our good soul of
many, many years' intimacy, George William
Warren; 'the vast blue of heaven does not
contain a better or more Christian spirit; a
dearer fellow on earth did not exist, or a
more noble, or a more lovable. He was a
real friend in word and deed, not alone to
me, but to many another struggler in art.
Peace to his ashes, and quiet and sweet rest
to his clean soul. His own sunny nature
bore him through many a per of care and
sorrow. All now is over, and I hope he is
being
Page 79
soothed with the most
heavenly of celestial music,'"
He wrote
hymns that have become familiar and
cherished by church-goers of every name and
kind. His "Anthems-Special Services" are in
very general use. His "Children's Carols"
have gladdened the hearts of hundred of
thousands, many of whom, now men and women,
recall them as they think of the happiest
associations of their childhood. Bishop
Potter said of him, that his work in
influencing individual souls and leading
them on to a higher life and its fruition
would compare favorably with that of the
most efficient clergyman. The President of
Columbia University remembers him "with
gratitude, and blesses God for his memory."
