Warren, a worthy representative of a well-known family, was born at the Warren homestead in Westbrook, March 4, 1850, a son of Lewis P. and Sarah (Turner) Warren. He is a descendant of John Warren, Sr., the founder of the family in Cumberland County, who was born in Berwick, Me., March 5, 1731, and, when a young man, settled in Westbrook. He raised a large family of children, one of whom, John, died while serving in the Continental army during the Revolutionary War. Another son, John, second, grandfather of Albert F. Warren, was born at the homestead, May 23, 1776, the day upon which his brother, John, first, died.

He was carefully educated, and received a good business training, which fitted him to achieve success in life. His connection with lumbering and other industries extended through a long period, and was marked by unusual prosperity. He has attained a ripe old age, and is now passing his time in retirement at his residence, which is in close proximity to his birthplace. His wife, Sarah Turner, whom he married in Otisfield, September 20, 1844, was born May 21, 1818. Her children are as follows: John W., now living in retirement, married Martha J.
