John Warren MD

[Bear]

Hello,

Joel/Buellmeister needed some info on a powder horn from the American Revolition. The horn is located in Massechusetts and inscribed 'John Warren 1776'. Hopefully we will get some pictures soon.

Only two with the name John Warren served in the American Revolution from Massachusetts.

John Warren - Drafted into service in April 20, 1778.(probably not him)

John Warren MD - I would say he would be the best choice for the horn. Probably a gift for his services.

But without further identification-- a rank or a town

this "John Warren" could have been 8 years old or 80.

Every boy and man had a powder horn, every farmer as well as every soldier.

Joel (the one armed one, not YOU! ) and my Iveses produced Mister Currier's printing partner. I dunno if Burl was one of ours, since I think he was a Southerner, though there were a lot of Yankee strays down that way.

Thank you for your help on this one as well. I got an email about the Trowel Blade Bayonet and I'm still waiting for my Uncle to get me the pictures.. He goes at his own pace. As so shall we all... Hopefully this evening we should have an unveiling... Finger's crossed.. LOL!
