2. James William WARREN born 29 JUN 1855, Greenfield, Tennessee,3 lived: Tennessee/Arkansas,1 occupation Baptist Minister/Property,4 married 05 SEP 1875, in Gibson Co., Tennessee,2 Mary Francis KEITHLEY, born 27 SEP 1858, Dyer Co., Tennessee,1 lived: Tennessee/Arkansas, (daughter of Bryant "Branch" KEATHLEY and Minerva BARNES) died 1933, Flag, Stone County, AR.1 James died 25 DEC 1920, Flag, Stone County, AR.5 ---From: "Yellar Rag Boys",S.L.Weaver, (1992, Arkansas):James moved to the Stone County area of Arkansas c. 1880 with his wife, (Mary), his recently widowed mother, Mary Elizer, and brother, John Brint WARREN. They left Dyer, Gibson County, Tennessee by covered wagon and settled at Flag. John soon moved to Missouri-he lived in Haiyti. Later James relocated the family to Oxley in Stone County. They eventually moved back to Flag, to a large log cabin set on 200 acres of farmland. The only reported visitor the family had from their home state, Tennessee, was Arch Bryant 'KEATHLEY', Mary's brother. James rode horseback two days to recieve Arch at the train station in Sylamore, then both journeyed two days back to the WARREN home. After these trips, which were repeated to get Arch back to the train after his visit, Arch said he would never be back. (He did, however, later return with his son, Coy in 1928). ("Yellar Rag Boys", S.L.Weaver, 1992, AR).
*There is no death record on file for James W. WARREN in the state of Arkansas. His date of death may be in error. Mary: The surname KEITHLEY is spelled 'KEATHLEY' among Mary's ancestors, as recent as her own parents. Many documents I have obtained - Luther (son of mary) Elgin WARREN's death certificate, social security application form, Mary Lou Branscum's text, "Branscums and Related Families of Stone County, Arkansas", etc. list Mary's name spelled 'KEITHLEY'. (Luther listed her as KEITHLEY in his own handwriting on his social security application). This needs furthur evaluation.Children:

3. Luther Elgin WARREN born 28 MAY 1883, Mayflower, Arkansas,4 lived: Arkansas/Oklahoma, occupation Printer/Writer/Educator, married 31 MAY 1903, in Stone County, Arkansas,6 Rosellar Vala BRANSCUM, born 03 NOV 1883, Searcy Co., AR,7 lived: Arkansas, (daughter of James W BRANSCUM and Mahala Jane STEPHENSON) died 03 FEB 1964, Searcy Co., AR,8 buried: 1964, Marshall Cemetery, Searcy Co., AR.5 Luther died 02 JUL 1958, Marshall, Searcy Co., AR,5 buried: 1958, Harness, Stone Co., AR.5 After marrying Vala, Luther and his family lived in Timbo. In 1908, they lived near Jimmie's Creek in Searcy County, and Luther became postmaster. In 1911, as a resident of Leslie, Searcy County, he wrote for the local newspaper, the "Leslie Banner". He also wrote for the local paper after the family settled in Marshall, a few years later. He paid his way through school and learned the linotype machine. After attending the Marshall Academy, he earned his degree at the Teaching Institute in Mountain View, and taught for many years. He held the same educational ideals for his children. About 1926, Luther made his way to Tulsa, Oklahoma, working almost 27 years for the Tulsa Tribune and Tulsa World as a columnist and printer. Having a bit of wit about him, he wrote a column called "Twisted Tales". Luther retired back to the Marshall, Arkansas home in 1949, where he spent his later years studying the civil war, squirrell hunting, and doing crossword puzzles. (from "Yellar Rag Boys", S.L. WEAVER, 1992, AR). Rosellar: She was known as "Vala". The 'r' at the end of Rosellar is, as many sources have listed, the correct spelling of her first name. Her husband, Luther and her daughter, Irene, both listed, in their own handwriting, her middle name as "ZaVala" and not Vala. Cannot locate death record for Vala.Children:
