• Notes

  William moved to Texas from Benton Co, Arkansas, between the summer of 1860 and 1864 when his daughter Virginia was born. William Warfield petitioned the court for guardianship of his sister, Elizabeth, who was of unsound mind. Solomon had left her his land when he returned to Arkansas. The original petition was filed on January 8, 1869 and granted on January 25th. An inventory filed with the court by William on January 26, 1869 shows 272 acres valued at $500. William received several disbursements for building 'cribs and smokehouses' in 1870 and later. He sold the land in parcels and the last was sold by January 23, 1875. By 1880 Lydia, his wife, is counted as a widow in the Smith County census.
