WILLIAM WARREN, farmer, sec. 22, Hinton Tp., was born July 18, 1825, in 
Carroll Co., Ohio.  His father, 

Peter Warren, was of English descent and birth, and both his aprents were 
natives of Pennsylvania, whence 

they moved to Ohio in its pioneer days.  The father was a carpenter and 
cabinet maker, and followed both 

callings most of his life.  The mother's name before marriage was Ann 
Guthrie.  The school privileges of 

Mr. Warren were limited, and at 17 he commenced to learn the shoemaker's 
trade.  He worked under the 

instructions od his brother-in-law, and continued to follow that vocation 
until 1861.  He opened a 

confectionery establishment in Augusta, Ohio, which was finally extended into 
a general store.  This he 

managed nearly six years and accumulated $3,500, which he lost in financial 
disaster.  In April, 1867, he 

came with his family to Mecosta Co., Mich., and bought 80 acres of partly 
improved land in Hinton Tp., 

where he now resides.  In politics, Mr. Warren is independent.  He has held 
the office of Supervisor fo 

Hinton Tp., four years, Township Treasurer three terms, and School Director 
ten successive years.  The 

years of his labor have their reward in the fine farm and convenient buildings 
thereon.

He was married in Augusta, Carroll Co., Ohio, Sept. 9, 1849, to Jane, daughter 
of John and Hannah (Shaw) 

Harrington.  Her parents were natives of Pennsylvania, and went to Carroll 
Co., Ohio, where their daughter 

Jane was born Nov. 14, 1827.  Mr. and Mrs. Warren have had three children:  
John J., born in Augusta, 

Carroll Co., OHio, May 8, 1853, is the only one surviving.  He was married May 
8, 1878, in this county, to 

Della A. House, daughter of Elias and Mary D. (Walrath) House, and they have 
two children:  Ethel M. born 

Nov. 20, 1880, and Alice M., born March 9, 1883.  Samantha A. was born Nov. 
22, 1850 and died Aug. 26, 

1851; Mary E. was born Jan. 10, 1863, and died Nov. 25, 1876.  Mrs. Warren 
belongs to the Advent Church.
