Born ca. 1784 in South Carolina, Warren was the son of James (Jr.?) and Elizabeth Barnes. He married Nancy Ann Beasley in 1808 in Darlington County,South Carolina and they had 13 known children.
"Warren Key served in the 3rd Regiment (Alston's) South Carolina Militia during the War of 1812 as a private. He enlisted for six months and was on the company Muster Roll from Sept 24 to Nov 26, 1814. He was discharged Nov 25, 1814 as unfit for service. This was probably a medical discharge. This record is found at the National Archives in Washington,D.C."
"Warren Key was a Methodist minister and was the founder of Key's Church in Emanual County, Georgia around 1920.
"Mrs. Ruby Thompson King writes of his death:
I suppose you know the details relating to Rev. Warren's death. If not, here they are: About 1843 Rev. Warren Key and Burrell went by wagon to the coast-around Brunswick. Their purpose was to "boil down" enough saltwater to get their supply of salt for the plantation. After weeks of open fire boiling,they packed the salt and headed home. Near Statesboro, Rev. Warren died. Poor Burrell asked people near by what to do. They helped him roll the body in the sheets they had been using. Then young Burrell drove home (to Kea's Church site) and told his mother. The burial was in the old section of the cemetary, up the dirt road. For years there were only cedar shingles marking the site of Rev. Warren Key's grave."
