Williams Warden was born in Kentucky and later moved to Missouri. On April 15, 1844 he and his family crossed the Red River into Texas north of Bonham. The trip, which required six weeks, was made in ox wagons. The Wardens brought with them thirty to forty head of Durham cattle. They camped for ten days at Lick Skillet (also known as Pilot Grove() in Grayson County. Later they camped again, this time for six weks at a spring a mile south of Melissa, while Williams looked the country over for a suitable location for a permanent home. For a short time they lived at White Rock Creek in northern Dallas County but hostile Indians forced them to return to Bonham. In 1851 they moved to Climax, twelve miles east of McKinney. Soon thereafter Warden secured a patent on 640 acres of land north of Weston.
He and his wife Hulda were married in Cooper County, Missouri, in 1825. To this union eleven children were born: Williams Jr, W.A. (Chief), Hezekiah, F. Marion, John, Att, James, Robert, Mrs. J.P. Hunter, Mrs. Robert Fitzhugh, and Mrs. John Rike. Williams Warden Sr died on his farm north of Weston.
Williams was shot by a neighbor in December 1867 and died on January 16 1868. (The Weekly Democrat-Gazette, Twenty-Fifth Year, McKinney, Collin County, Texas, Thursday, April 30, 1908, Page 1, Column 5)
