• Notes

  Died during the Civil War, while all the men were away.  He was buried by the women in the corner of the garden at one of the Warren homeplaces on Little Piney Creek, below Garbor. Either from restlessness or from a burning pioneer spirit, some of the Warrens decided to move on to Indiana in the 1820's, (Indiana became a state in 1816). The names of the heads of the families that moved include *Hardin, Fredrick, and William, who were all sons of William mentioned above. The Johnsons and Pelts who became allied by marriage accompanied these Warrens on their trek. The county to which they moved was also named Green County. It was heavily forested and mountainous terrain, similar to the land they-farmed back in Kentucky. Hardin owned some 40 acres and Fredrick, his brother owned 80 acres. While in Indiana *James Warren, *Hardin's son was indicted for larceny.   They farmed their homesteads for almost ten years. Suddenly, in the 1840 census records show that Hardin Warren and his family moved to Madison County, Illinois. According to deeds that Young Hardin and his mother Lydia were in Greene County Indiana selling their land to Isham Johnson, Lydia's relative, for a sum of $50 for 40 acres.  Several offshoots of the family remained behind. The reason he left for Illinois and then for Arkansas is not known.   Hardin left for Arkansas between the years 1840-41. Tradition has it that the migration lasted four years which included a year hauling timber in Missouri. But it is possible that some of the Warren's reached Arkansas around 1842 or 43. They also may have ran a freight line from South Bend. Indiana to Jefferson City, Missouri. The line used wagons that were pulled by ox teams and meat skins were used to grease the wagons thimbles. When Hardin reached Arkansas they built their homestead in the Ozark Mountains some 20 miles north of Clarksville in Johnson County. They made their living by farming and made what they needed. For items that could not be made they were bought or traded for.  Til this day Hardin's descendants live in the Johnson County area to this day.
