Paula:
Francis Waring was, in all liklihood, the younger brother of Thomas Waring II, b. 1717 d. 1771. Was Member Va. House of Burgess 1736-1754. Was an organizer of the "Sons of Liberty" and a signor of the Leedstown Resolves (precourser of the Decl. of Independence). I was unaware of the Va. Militia connection of either Francis or Thomas. Thanks for that. The family was VERY active in the independence movement, apparently.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

The Peter that I have was from Boston Mass. His father was Sir John de Warren and Alice de Townsend who came to Boston in 1631. Sir John de Warren had a brother Michael b. 1625 (came to America 1660), a brother Richard born 1643 (who came to America 1664 on the Endeaver with his son Richard), and his sister Anne who married John Richards. They were all the children of Christopher de Warren and his wife Alice Webb. I hope this helps.
