DANIEL WARREN died at Lowell, January 29, 1864, of typhoid pneumonia, after a short but severe sickness.
… was a son of David and Anna (Bullin).. and was born in Rochester, VT, 3rd, 1798. His father was one of the early … of Rochester, and his grand-father…soldier in the “Old French War.” He … an apprenticeship to the carpenter’s trade, but in the spring of 1820, entered upon a course of preparation for the ministry, and after pursuing academical studies at Royalton and Randolph Academies, he entered the Maine Charity School, (now Bangor Theological Seminary,) where he was graduated the 3d August 1825. He received license from the Hancock and Penobscot Association, 15th December 1824.
Immediately after graduation, he returned to Vermont, and in September, 1825, commenced preaching at Waterbury as a candidate for settlement. He was there ordained 7th December 1825. Rev. Chester Wright, of Montpelier, preached the sermon. He had a successful pastorate of nearly thirteen years, and was dismissed 26th June, 1838. After this he was stated to supply at Johnson three years, and from that place went to Essex, where he was installed 23d December, 1841. Rev. John Wheeler, D.D., of Burlington, preached the sermon. From this pastorate he was dismissed, 18th August, 1846, but continued to supply the pulpit for a year after. He then went to Bakersfield, where, after preaching a year or more, he was installed in the pastorate. Rev. Worthington Smith, D.D. of St. Albans, preached the sermon. In the spring of 1854, a Council was called to dismiss him, on the ground of inadequate support. The Council declined to dissolve the pastoral relation, because the Church and society had not made suitable exertion to provide a support.
He judged it his duty, however, to leave the field, and in April, 1854, removed to Colchester, and supplied the churches at Colchester and West Milton alternately till August 1855. He obtained a regular dismissal from the Bakersfield pastorate, 5th June, 1855. He preached a few months in Stowe, and about a year and a half in Lowell; then receiving a call to Warner, N. H., he commenced preaching there 26th July, 1857, and was installed 20th October, 1857. Rev. William T. Savage, of Franklin, N.H., preached the sermon. He was dismissed 18th February, 1863, and did not again assume the charge of a parish, but removed to Lowell, Vt., where he spent the remainder of his life, preaching in vacant pulpits as opportunity offered.
His first wife was Priscilla Sparhawk, daughter of Dea. Ebenezer Sparhawk of Rochester, Vt. She died 27th December, 1854, and he married 16th January, 1856, Mrs. Hannah L. B. Scott of Fairfax, VT.

October 21, 1857, Rev. Daniel Warren was installed as pastor. Rev. Dr. William T. Savage of Franklin preached the sermon. Mr. Warren was born March 3, 1798, in Rochester, Vt., of which town his father was one of the first settlers. He served an apprenticeship to the carpenter’s trade, but in the spring of 1820 entered upon a course of preparation for the ministry. He graduated at Bangor Theological Seminary in 1825, two years after Mr. Wellman. He was pastor of the church in Waterbury, Vt., from 1825 to 1838. He afterward preached for different lengths of time in several towns in Vermont before coming to Warner. After leaving this town, he did not again assume charge of a parish, but spent the remainder of his life at Lowell, Vt. Mr. Warren was a sound preacher, and commanded the respect of all as a sincere, upright, kind-hearted christian man. His dismissal from Warner occurred February 18, 1863.
Historical Discourse Delivered at the Centennial Celebration of the Congregational Church in Warner, H.H. June 12, 1872 by Henry S. Huntington, Pastor of the Church
The house was built, was not long unoccupied. Soon after its dedication a young man, just graduated from Bangor Theological Seminary, stopped for the night at the hotel, then kept by Mr. Pride; –learning that Rev. Mr. Blodgett of Jericho, with whom he had been acquainted, was to preach on the ensuing Sabbath, he concluded to stop and hear him. Mr. Blodgett did not come and the young man was asked to supply the puplit–he consented, and thus the Rev. Daniel Warren preached his first sermon, and began his 13 years work in Waterbury. All were pleased. He was asked to remain, and in a few months he had a unanimous call to settle over them and was ordained Pastor of the Church, Dec. 7, 1825. From that period every thing has worn a new aspect in town. Mr. Warren was dismissed June 26, 1838. There were two revivals during his ministry, extending through the town, –one in 1826-7, the other in 1835-6.

On 28 Jan 1826 in Essex, Chittenden, VT, Daniel married Priscilla SPARHAWK.
Priscilla was a daughter of Rev. Ebenezer SPARHAWK Jr. and Azubah JEPHERSON. She was born 13 Aug 1803 in Rochester, Windsor Co., VT.
From Manual of the Congregational Church, Historical Sketch:
Pages 3 and 4
The present house of worship, which grew out of a spontaneous movement of the citizens was erected and dedicated in 1824; the Rev. Mr. CHANDLER, of Waitsfield, preaching the sermon. A new era dawned on the completion of the building the next year in November, Rev. Daniel WARREN spent a Sabbath with the people and was at once called to become their Pastor. He was installed Dec. 7, 1825, and after a successful ministry of thirteen years was dismissed on June 26, 1838. Two general revivals were enjoyed under his labors and 124 were added to the church.

Page 19, Historical Catalogue of members gives Priscilla S. WARREN, dismissed from the Church by letter 1827: definition in the rules of the Church is, leaving the area, they would need to get a letter of dismissal and recommendation to a new Church within one year. Page 20 An Elizabeth Warren dismissed from the church by letter 1837.
The Rev. Daniel C. WARREN would be Daniel Henry WARREN. He married Priscilla about a year after becoming reverend. A confusing bit of information is that Priscilla S. WARREN, presumably Priscilla Sparkhawk WARREN, was dismissed from the church by letter in 1827.
Children of Daniel and Priscilla were:
1.) Anna Elizabeth
2.) Daniel Henry, b. 2 Aug 1834 in Waterbury Township, Washington Co. VT., married Harriet Louisa HARRIS
3.) Ellen Priscilla b. abt. 1839 VT

Everyone in the household is given as having been born in VT, the only such household on the page, others being mainly from NH. It appears however that Elizabeth A. could be the daughter of a Daniel BASSETT, 12 Feb 1795 (christened Milford, New Haven Co. CONN) to 14 Feb. 1876. Daniel BASSETT married 1st a Julia FORD, daughter of Thaddeus FORD and Anne GREEN, who died in 1847. Their children included: Charlotte, Charles Burton, William H. b. 1822 d. 31 August 1849, Elizabeth A. b. 1827 d. Sept. 1863, Mary Eliza b. c. 1829 and died 1855, Cornelia Augusta, Emily Jane and Catherine (given as b. 1851 and died 8 Nov. 1859 but this would have to be incorrect if Julia died in 1847). After Julia’s death, Daniel BASSETT 1848 he was married to a Catherine B. CLARK, daughter of Nathan CLARK and Abigail BALDWIN. (SOURCE: http://www.clipper.net/~genlady/mercy.html)
A Don Eugene SCOTT is in the 1860 household and is found at a website which has listed also some BASSETTs of Conn. His parents were Madison SCOTT and Hannah Landress BEACH b. 1817 in Westford VT. (SOURCE: www.gbnf.com/genealogy/tbeach/html/d0029/I2905.HTM
An Abigail OVIATT marriage to Oliver BEACH appears at both websites. Daniel BASSETT’s parents were David BASSETT and Sarah OVIATT. Sarah OVIATT’s parents were Isaac OVIATT and Mehitable TIBBALS.

As for Hannah L. in the 1860 census. Don Eugene Scott’s mother was a Hannah Landress BEACH b. 1817. Put two and two together. Hannah L. would be Hannah Landress BEACH…and she is.
http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=dickdutton&id=I94224 has Hannah Landress BEACH married 2nd to Daniel WARREN. Her first husband, Madison SCOTT, b. 12 March 1813, Fairfax, Franklin VT., died 29 Nov. 1851 in Fairfax, Franklin, VT. They’d had three children, Hannah B., Rogene A. and Don E. Hannah and Rogene are not observed in the 1860 household.

HON. JOSEPH WARREN
The death of Hon. Joseph Warren, of the Buffalo Courier, was announced in THE TIMES yesterday. The Courier, in an editorial review of the life of Mr. Warren, says: “He was born in Waterbury, Vt., on July 24, 1829, attended the district school, and at the age of eighteen years entered the Vermont University. At the age of twenty he made his first essay at journalism as assistant editor of the Country Gentleman, Albany, NY.

Since 1866, on the death of Dean Richmond, has been the acknowledged leader of the Democratic Party of Erie County, and a recognized leader and counselor of that party in Western New York. He was one of the originators of the public park, and has served as one of its Commissioners since 1871. He was also one of the organizers of the plan to erect the new city and county buildings, and served as a memter of the committee to prepare an act with that end in view. Through his exertions, more than those of any other person, the State Asylum for the Insane was located in this city, and he served on its Board of Managers and as Chairman of the State Normal School in this city, and a memer of its Board of Trustees.

A BUFFALO JOURNALIST DEAD
EVARTS E. S. WARREN DIES WHILE TRAVELING FOR REST AND HEALTH
BUFFALO July 26 — The news has reached this city that Evarts E. S. Warren, Secretary of the Courier Printing Company, is dead. Some time ago ill-health compelled Mr. Warren to seek rest and restoration at the seaside. He returned feeling somewhat better, but in a few weeks he was again taken ill, and his physicians prescribed further rest. He started July 20 for a voyage on Lake Superior on the steamer China. Saturday last friends here received word that he had reached Sault Ste. Marie. News came Sunday that he had been attacked with apoplexy, and this morning a telegram from Fort Gratiot was received announcing his death.
Mr. Warren was the younger brother of the late Joseph Warren. He was born at Waterbury, Vt., Dec. 24 1836. He received a common school education at Bakersfield and Georgia, Vt. He came to Buffalo in 1856, attended Bryant & Stratton’s Business College two years, and then entered the Post Office as a clerk, and subsequently became book-keeper for Breed & Butler, the book publishers. From 1861 to 1869 he was employed in that capacity with Messrs. Pratt & Letchworth, and then went to Chicago to take charge of a house they had opened there. Returning to Buffalo in 1871, he accepted a position with Joseph Warren & Co., (now the Courier Company,) an became actively identified with the establishment. He was made General Superintendent, and in October, 1877, was elected Secretary of the company. He was a member of the Buffalo Club, and had been its secretary for several years. He left Buffalo hopeful and cheerful. He was a most conscientious and upright gentleman, and one of the most genial and warm-hearted of men. The body arrived here this morning.
Published July 27 1880 The New York Times
An incidental note, Joseph Warren had in his employ a poet David Gray, who was a close friend, and also a close friend of Samuel Clemens.
Mark Twain lived in Buffalo from 1869-1871. His time here was significant and worthy of recognition as it shaped him as a writer and as a person.
His time in Buffalo was the longest period that Twain had lived in one place since early childhood and the city was a place of firsts for him. Buffalo was the first place he lived as a married man, the birthplace of his first child, the first place he owned a home and the first place that he became co-owner of a newspaper.
While Twain’s stay in Buffalo was difficult personally, it spurred a time of great productivity. During his tenure here, his father-in-law, Jevis Langdon, suffered from cancer and his wife, Olivia, became dangerously ill with Typhoid.
A collection of his writings from this traumatic period is titled Mark Twain at The Buffalo Express: Articles and Sketches by America’s Favorite Humorist (Northern Illinois University Press; 1999).
* * * *
The Express
In Western New York, Twain sharpened his writing abilities as editor of The Buffalo Express newspaper. His co-editor at The Express was Joseph Larned, with whom he often collaborated on articles and columns. Larned, a lifelong friend to Twain, subsequently became director of the library in Buffalo in 1877.
Another co-editor at The Express and close friend to Twain, David Gray was a well-known poet and long-standing member of the Buffalo Library board. In Twain fashion, he honored his friend by naming the central character in “A Murder, a Mystery and a Marriage” after Gray. The Gray Chair of Letters at the State University of New York at Buffalo was founded in his honor…
16. David Gray, Buffalo Courier , 19 March 1870; clipping in MTP. When Clemens later recalled his time in Buffalo as one of stark and forbidding isolation, he allowed that “there was one exception—a single exception. David Gray—poet, and editor of the principal newspaper,—was our intimate friend…. David had a young wife and a young baby. The Grays and the Clemenses visited back and forth frequently, and this was all the solace the Clemenses had in their captivity.”
18. More than three decades later, Clemens remembered Gray with the same fondness, a fondness that was made poignant by his own lingering bitterness about newspapering in Buffalo. David Gray, he said, “was a poet, but was doomed to grind out his living in a most uncongenial occupation—the editing of a daily political newspaper. He was a singing bird in a menagerie of monkeys, macaws, and hyenas. His life was wasted.” “Autobiographical Dictation” for 22 February 1906; original in MTP.
