Records created by Warren Fish Company and Baylen Street Wharf Company. The Boston diary was created by Andrew Fuller Warren.

According to the Friends of St. Johns Historic Cemetery in Pensacola (FL), Andrew Fuller Warren, co-founder of the Warren Fish Company, was born in 1842 in Massachusetts, attended school in Boston (MA), and graduated from Brown University in 1863. During the Civil War, he served in the 10th Rhode Island Volunteers, and was later employed in the shipping business in Boston. In 1871, Warren came to Pensacola to work for the Pensacola Fish Company, an outgrowth of the city's first ice factory, and soon became a partner in the Company. In 1873, Warren returned to New England to marry Fannie Clark Stearns of Bath (ME). His brother-in-law, Silas Stearns, joined them in Pensacola, and in 1880, they established Warren and Company, a partnership. Later, the name was changed to the Warren Fish Company.

In 1881, Eugene Edwin Saunders and Thomas Everett Welles, bought the equipment and boats from the Pensacola Fish Company and founded E.E. Saunders and Company. About that time, construction of the railroad into Pensacola was completed, providing improved access to large inland and northern markets. For many years, the E.E. Saunders and Warren Fish Company had little or no competition. Working together harmoniously, they prospered. As a result, Pensacola, by the turn of the 20th Century, became the center of the commercial fishing industry, particularly for red snapper and grouper. In 1889, William Hayes, a Scottish sea captain, became Andrew Warren's partner. That year, the Warren Fish Company built a rail spur to its docks at the end of the Baylen Street Wharf, a 2,000-foot pier.
