JAMES WARREN, M.D., near Gettysburg, was born in Strausburg, Lancaster Co., 
Penn., April 4, 1813, a son of James Warren and a grandson of James Warren, 
James being a favorite name of the family.  James Warren, the second, was born 
in Chester County, Penn., of Scotch-Irish ancestry, and married Catherine 
Aument, a native of Lancaster County and of German descent, and to their union 
were born eleven children.  He was a blacksmith by trade, and performed service 
in the war of 1812.  Our subject was the third child and grew to manhood in his 
native town, where he obtained his literary education.  His medical education 
was obtained in Jefferson Medical College, where he graduated in 1835.  After 
his graduation he located as a practitioner in his native county, where he was 
so occupied for seven years.  He then removed to York County, where he remained 
in active practice of his profession for nearly twenty-five years.  In 1876 he 
came to Adams County and located on a farm near Gettysburg, and has here 
continued practice.  Dr. Warren has been twice married; first, in 1835, to 
Harriet Black, a daughter of James Black, a surveyor, and to this union were 
born two children:  Arabella (deceased) and Beatrice (wife of Brice Clark).  The 
mother of these children died in 1843, and in 1845 the Doctor was married to 
Eliza Lutman, a daughter of John Lutman, a farmer.  She is of English and German 
origin.  Her maternal grandfather, Samuel Linton (an Englishman by birth), 
served in the Federal Army during the entire Revolutionary war and never 
received a pension, for which he applied in the year 1833 or thereabout, as he 
did not survive to receive any.  By the latter marriage the Doctor has had four 
children:  Lucius A., a physician of Lancaster, Penn.; Everard P., a physician, 
of Goldsborough, York Co., Penn.; John C., a practicing physician in Adams 
County, and Evangabell.  Mrs. Warren is a member of the Methodist Episcopal 
Church.  Dr. Warren cast his first presidential vote for Gen. Jackson, and since 
the war of the Rebellion has been neutral in politics.
