Nancy Warren
Nancy Warren (maiden name: Dyson) was born around 1835 in Indiana to John and Hannah Dyson. Her father was a farmer who owned $500 of real estate in 1850. She grew up and attended school in Jefferson, Indiana. She married Luke C. Warren on July 23, 1850, and they had at least six children: Amanda, born around 1851; John, born around 1855; Johetta, born around 1859; James, born around 1862; Omar, born around 1866; and Daisy, born around 1878. They settled in Pike, Indiana, and by 1860, her husband was working as a “master carpenter.” Luke served in the Union army from September 1862 until June 1865.
 
By 1880, the family was living in Cain, Indiana. They moved to Van Buren, Indiana, in the late 1800s, and by 1910, they were living in Veedersburg, Indiana. Her husband died there on October 17, 1911. She applied for a widow’s pension in October 1911 and eventually secured one. She died in Veedersburg in March 1916.
