Hugh Warren (born ca 1733) served with his sons Hugh Warren (born 1764) and William Warren (born 1761) in South Carolina. The following details for the Younger Hugh Warren mentioned his father, Hugh Warren (born ca 1733) also served. It should be noted that both William / Hugh Jr served somewhat later during the war, due there young age. They both enlisted as soon as they were 16 years of age, and noted in May 1779. The British were not focused in the South Carolina area until late 1778 and early 1779, placing our Warren’s in the thick of the battles.
A very nice summary transcript exists, which sums up the service:

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the
Revolutionary War record of Hugh Warren of North Carolina.
The record of Hugh Warren is furnished herein as found in
the papers on file in his claim for pension, S. 31453, based upon
his service in that war.
Hugh Warren was born January 5, 1764, in Virginia, and moved
with his parents when quite young to South Carolina; the names of his
parents are not shown. At the time he served in the Revolutionary War,
he resided about twelve miles from Wofford’s Iron Works within less
than a mile of the Pacolet River in Ninety-Six District, South Carolina.
He volunteered about June 1779, and served at various times
until the close of the war, amounting in all to more than two years, as
a private under Captains Dennis Trammel, Jeremiah Dickson(Dixon), Anthony
Coulter, John Lawson and Parsons and Colonel John Roebuck in the South
Carolina troops; during the period of his service he was out against
the Indians and Tories, was in several engagements with them, assisted
in destroying the Indian Towns, and was in the battle of Cowpens.
There is a South Carolina State report in this claim which
shows that Hugh Warren, Sr., and Hugh Warren, Jr., rendered service in
the South Carolina troops during the same period, on horseback from
February 1, 1783 to July 15, 1783, as certified by Captain Parsons.
The soldier resided in South Carolina until about 1800, then
moved to Kentucky.
Hugh Warren was allowed pension on his application executed
June 16, 1834, at which time he resided in Green County, Kentucky.
He resided in that county in 1845.
there is no reference to wife or children of Hugh Warren in
his claim for pension.
It was stated that William Warren enlisted with Hugh Warren
and served in the South Caroline troops on tours during the Revolution-
ary War; said William Warren was referred to as of Green County, Kentucky,
in 1840. In 1845, James Warren, aged ninety-six years and a resident
of said Green County, stated that he served also from South Carolina in
the Revolution. No relationship between these other Warrens and the
soldier, Hugh Warren, was stated.
Very truly yours,
