I would like a copy of the census reports. My e-mail is

Since I posted this e-mail, I've been in contact with someone who told my Archibald's parents both died in 1943. He and his siblings were raised by someone else. I don't know what killed them? This is the letter I got from someone else:
I have James Warren, dob and place of birth unk but died about 1843. I have James’ wife as Margaret Murphy, date and place of birth unknown with date of death as 9 Jan 1843.

A note I have in FTM: “Some of the information on names and dates compiled by Mr. Fortner came from the William Samuel and Elmira Jane Rushing Warren Family Bible which was owned by Susie Bell Warren Thompson known by almost everyone as "Aunt Belle". She stated the bible was a gift to her mother Elmira Jane Rushing from Elmira's father Labon Rushing. William Samuel Warren's parents died when he was a small child. He was reared in Scott Co. MS by his maternal aunt, Massey Murphy Curry and his uncle William Curry. Another source states he was raised by Samuel Curry. Perhaps William and Samuel were one the same person. He served as a Captain in the Civil War, Co H 33rd MS Infantry. I don't have the dates yet or any details of his service. William is buried by his daughter Minnie Warren in Lone Elm Cemetery in an unmarked grave in Texas.”

Now for some misc. observations: Mr. Fortner was Kenneth Fortner who died several years ago. He put together a pretty good paper on Warrens, Doziers, Townsends, Thompsons and Rushings but most of his statements and conclusions I have not personally verified so I can’t vouch for them. Somewhere in my files I think I have a photocopy of the family pages from Aunt Belle’s Bible. Unfortunately, her Bible disappeared after her death and no one that I know of knows who got it. Some say one of her daughters got it but as you might expect she denied getting the Bible. From memory I don’t remember whether the Bible gave the parents of William or if that was something Kenneth came up with.

Story is told from Willie Marion Warren's son. His father told him that Archibald Warren was injured during the Vicksburg Seige. He was shot through the wrist. His medical care on the field put a scarf through the hole in his wrist and wrapped it. When they were losing the battle he and others were told to return go. He walked 90 miles from Vicksburg to Forest Mississippi. His farm was 14 miles from Forest, Mississippi. His injured wrist made use of that arm impossible for the rest of his life.
