- Hugh Warren Stated to the Southern Claims commission in 1878 that he
was 40 years of age, and was born in Green County, Indiana.
He further stated that he resided in Vernon County, Missouri just
prior to the outbreak of the Civil War (Later stated was going to
school there and hadn't been there long enough to vote) and
remained there until the last of July 1861. He Joined Company "A"
of the 1st Missouri Volunteers for 6 months and the independent
regiment was organized for the purpose of driving the rebels out
of Missouri after the battle of Oak Hill and then disbanded, at
which time Hugh Warren came to Fayetteville, Washington County,
Arkansas where he remained working on a farm until March 1862.
While in Fayetteville, Arkansas he sent word to his father and
brothers who resided in Little Piney, Johnson County, Arkansas
that he was in Fayetteville. He Joined the 1st Arkansas Calvary
which was in Benton County, Arkansas and remained with the
regiment until March 1863. He was rejected by a surgeon from
officially joining the regiment, on account of bad health. He still
remained with the regiment, scouting for them for about a year
beginning in March 1863. His regiment was captured by rebels in
April 1863 at the head of the White river in Washington County,
Arkansas and then was taken to Ozark, Arkansas and then to
Clarksville, Arkansas, where he escaped capture in the latter
part of April 1863. He went to Little Piney, 20 miles North of
Clarksville, where his Father and Brothers resided. After a few
days of rest, He and two brothers John and Michael started to
Fayetteville when they got word that it had been captured by the
rebels, on which word they returned to Little Piney. They laid out
in the mountains until the fall of 1863, with no advance of the rebels.
He joined up with General McNeals command in the fall of 1863,
traveling from Little Piney, to Clarksville, and then to Fort Smith,
Arkansas where he enlisted and was mustered in to the United States
Service and served with his company and regiment until the close of
the war.
