Biographical synthesis
Jeremiah Warren (alt. Jeremy Warren) (b.1613; d.?). Mariner.
Master of the ffortune of Colchester for three or four years at some time prior to becoming master of the ship the Messina Merchant.
Resident in parish of Saint Mary Matfelon alias Whitechapel in 1651.
Evidence from High Court of Admiralty
June 1651
"Personal answers of William Williams and Henry Thernach to allegation given on behalf of Jeremy Warren", dated JUne 13th 1651[1]
Recorded as "Jeremy Warren", he made his own allegation against "William Williams and Henry Thernach (sic)". The two men made personal answers to this allegation on June 13th 1651.[2]
July 1651
Cray against Bowle
Thirty-eight year old Jeremiah Warren deposed on July 8th 1651 in the High Court of Admiralty. He was examined on an allegation on the behalf of Bowle in the case of "Cray against Bowle".[3] Warren stated that it was common for masters of ships who are part-owners to sell part or all of their parts, yet still to be publicly known as part-owners. He stated that he had been master of the ship the Fortune of Colchester for three or four years, and had no share in the ship. Nevertheless he was "by severall men, and att divers and severall times accompted reputed and taken a part Owner of the said shipp the ffortune, and so for the most part Understoode and apprehended".[4]
ADD CASE TITLE
Thomas Morley, a forty year old London mariner, was one of two arbitrators selected to determine the extent of damage to raisns carried on the ship the Messina Merchant, of which Jeremiah Warren was master. Morley had been chosen by Warren and Simon [?Nichalls] had been chosen by Mr Thorney. After speaking to the parties involved the two arbitrators viewed the one hundred and seventeen barrels of rraisns, which were in a warehouse at Buttolphs wharf.[5]
"While they made the said veiwe, and in their said veiwe and estimation they found and iudged that the greatest part of the dammage that had happened to the said raisins came by the badnes of the caske, being made (as this deponent conceived) of greene wood and soe apt to be moist". This greeness and moistnes of the wood had caused the head of one cask to be taken out. They determined that "some of the said barrells were dammaged by sea wet, and estimating the quantitie thereof soe damnified by sea wet at 389 pounds of raisins after five score to the hundred, they ordered the said warren to make allowance for the same to the said Thorney, after the rate that the said Thorney sold the rest for". In this vein, they made an order to remedy the matter.[6]
December 1651
Again, recorded as Jeremy Warren, he made his own personal answers to a counter allegation made by "William Williams and Henry Thorney (sic)" in December 1651.[7]
Warren stated that he was inclined to accept the decision of the appointed arbitrators "for quietnes sake". The decision, as Warren understood it, was that Warren should take back the fifty damaged barrels of raisns at the rate they cost at Leporah. Indeed he took back twenty two barrels, and would have taken the rest. But William Williams insisted on receiving the London price for the rest.[8]
