Thomas Warren Sr. and Tabitha Dustin
Family Group
Ancestors
Thomas' ancestor came to the Virginia Colony on a ship called Alice in 1635. How that ancestor got from Virginia to Massachusetts is not known. The first Warren in this family was born in Massachusetts in 1642. One hundred and one years later (1743) Thomas Warren Sr. was born there also on April 5, 1743.
Revolutionary War
Thomas saw duty in military service in New Hampshire as early as May 1775 where he was listed as a 'fifer'. A fife has always been a infantry musical instrument originally called a 'schweizerfeife' or Swiss flute. In 1776 he is listed as a sargent and a drum major. He again saw military service in 1779.
Two Families
At age 25 Thomas married 22 year old Tabitha Dustin in Hampstead, New Hampshire on April 5, 1768. They settled in New Boston, New Hampshire, Tabitha home town where she was born in 1746. Thomas and Tabitha had 9 children, first 4 in New Boston, then three Francestown, and then two in Goffstown.

Tabitha died in 1786 and shortly thereafter Thomas married the widow Sarah Marsh and they moved to Ludlow, Vermont. Sarah had one child, Ezra, from her previous marriage and she and Thomas had one child together, Silas. Thomas and Sarah lived in Ludlow the rest of their lives, he dying in 1819 and she in 1822.
