Warren, Gardiner D., was born in the town of Sodus July 8, 1827, a son of Gardiner, and a grandson of Samuel
Warren, the first of the family to settle in Wayne county. He came from Cheshire, N. H., with his family, consisting
of his wife and six sons, arriving in 1807, on an ox sled. The place was a wilderness, and many trials and hardships
were met by this pioneer family, which became one of the first in importance in the county. His son, Gardiner,
father of our subject, came to South Sodus, where he died. He was a farmer and also engaged in the mercantile trade.
For several years he was county superintendent of the poor, and was a leading member of the South Sodus M. E. church.

old State militia. He was for twenty eight years a justice of the peace, and for thirty years engaged in the mercantile
trade. He removed to Ohio, where he died December 12, 1881. Gardiner D. was engaged in the dry goods trade at South
Sodus for five years, prior to 1852, when he went to New York city, and for fourteen years was engaged in jobbing.
