The Biographical and Historical Record of Wayne and Appanoose Counties Iowa Originally published 1886


A. W. WARREN, farmer and stock-raiser, section 24, Clinton Township, is a native of Orange County, Indiana, born August 14, 1828, a son of John H. and Louisa (Bethel) Warren, the former a native of Virginia and the latter of Kentucky.

He is a relative of General Warren, who was killed at the battle of Bunker Hill, and a grandson of Aaron Warren, whose father was also killed in the war of the Revolution.

He is the eldest of a family of fourteen children. When he was seven years old his parents moved to Lawrence County, Indiana, and three years later to Washington County, the same State. He attended school but little as his services were early required at home, but his father in early life being a teacher, he studied during his leisure hours under his instruction.

In the spring of 1856 he started for Iowa, going down the Ohio River by boat and thence across the country with teams to Wayne County. He first bought eighty acres of wild land and built a log cabin and began making a home in the new country. He has added to this first purchase until he now owns 500 acres, all well improved, with a good residence and farm buildings. His barn, which was built in 1877, is 36 x 56 feet in size, and is a model of convenience and comfort. He makes a specialty of fine stock. He has one of the finest horses in the county -- an imported English shire, Black Prince, recorded as No. 3,468, on page 12, volume 6, of the English Shire stud book.

Mr. Warren was a poor man when started in life for himself, and now is one of the wealthiest men of Clinton Township, having made his property by his own untiring industry and good management.

He was married February 14, 1852, to Miss Cordelia Foutch, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Foutch, of Washington County, Indiana. Seven of the twelve children born to them are living -- Elizabeth, John, George, Minerva, Rose Ann, Millard M. and Jerome.
The deceased are -- Rebecca, Angeline, David, Samantha and Charles M. Mr. and Mrs. Warren are members of the Free-Will Baptist church.
