GREENLEAF STEVENS WARREN, son of Thomas WARREN and Anna PAGE, of Ludlow, 
Vermont, was born in 1802; about 1814 went with his brother R. Wells WARREN, 
to Essex county, New York; thence about 1823 to Crawford county, 
Pennsylvania.  Returning, after a successful venture in the leadmine region of 
Dubuque county, he married Martha, a sister of Arnestus D. COLTON.  He came in 
1837 with his brother to Geneva and built a house which by enlargement became 
a hotel (afterward kept by Mr. COLTON).  He also built a house and a store.  
He died in 1852, on his way home from a two-years residence in California.  He 
was succeeded as landlord of the Lake House by Thomas D.  WARREN, his brother, 
who was followed by Mr. COLTON.
