Biography:[]

He married Betsey Maynard on 13 Oct 1808 in Berlin, MA. Warren was employed as a clergyman. As several of their children were born at Harvard, MA at about the same time of his installation to the priesthood (1814), I would assume that Harvard was where Warren earned his Doctorate of Divinity (D.D.) degree. Several of the published sermons come from nearby churches at this time.
