Here is the biography for this other William Warren from The History of McDonald County, Missouri, 1888.
William Warren, a well-to-do farmer of McDonald County, MO., was born near Nashville, in Robertson County, Tenn., on Dec 16, 1825. He is a son of Sebert Warren, a native of Virginia, who was born near Richmond in 1790. The latter was a soldier in the War of 1812, fighting under Jackson at the battle of New Orleans. He left the "Old Dominion" and removed to Polk Co, Mo. in 1851. It was here that he passed away in 1853, after which his widow removed to Mercer County, Mo. in 1854. Thence she went to Marion County, Ill, in 1864, where she died two years later, in 1866. William Warren attended the subscription schools of his native county, and came with his parents to Missouri. He also removed to Illinois with his mother, remaining with her until her death. In the fall of the following year, he settled where he now resides, in Pineville Township. He devotes his time to agricultural pursuits and stock raising, owning a fine farm of 240 acres. On March 14, 1861, he was united in marriage with Mrs. Agnes M. Cross, a daughter of James Poague, and to them have been born seven children, of whom four, Louis, Rosetta, Charles Wesley and Hessie are living. One son, James R., died just after he had reached his majority. Mrs. Warren and her daughter, Rosetta, are consistent members of the Methodist Episcopal Church South.
