      They came to New England in 1630.

      From From "Genealogies of the Families and Descendants of the Early Settlers of Watertown, MA" Henry Bond 1860:

      "John Warren came to America in 1630, aged 45, settled in Watertown; was admitted freeman May 18, 1631, was selectman, 1636 to 40. In 1635, he, and Abrahan Browne were appointed to lay out all highways, and to see that they were repaired. His homestall lot of 12 acres in 1642 was bounded W. by highway, E. by William Hammond, N. by John Biscoe, S. by Isaac Sterne. He also then owned 7 other lots amounting to about 176 acres. Oct. 1651, he an Thomas Arnold, were each fined 20s. for an offence against the laws concerning baptism. Mar. 14, 1658-9, he was to be warned for not attending public worship; but "old Warren is not to be found in town" Apr. 4, 1654, he was fine for neglect of public worship, 14 Sabbaths, each 5s. May 27, 1661, the houses of "old Warren and goodman Hammond" were ordered to be searched for Quakers."
