Warren, William Julian, planter and merchant, residing in Covington, La., was born in St. Tammany parish, La., Aug. 17, 1877. He is a son of Harrison Rankin and Arthemise Harriet (De Maille) Warren, the latter of whom was born in Covington, La., in 1850. Mr. Warren was educated in the public schools of his native parish, and there continued to reside throughout his youth and early manhood. As the years advanced he devoted his time and energies to the occupation of planter and later entered the mercantile business in the town of Covington. He has given his attention to his business so successfully that it is now one of the largest in the parish. Mr. Warren, on his mother's side, is a direct descendant of the noble house of De Maille of France, and he has in the Archives of his family the title, crest and seal of the family. His genealogy traces direct to the Marquis de Maille, through his grandfather, Jules B. de Maille. In politics Mr. Warren is aligned with the democrats, and is a communicant of the Catholic church. He is numbered among the membership of the Knights of Columbus, and of Boguefalaya Grove No. 21, Ancient Order of Druids. Nov. 6, 1901, Mr. Warren was married to Miss Mary Augusta Toffier of New Iberia. They are the parents of 2 children, Harrison Rankin, Jr., and Hazel Augusta.
