Lydia Warren married Andrew Herron on 31 Aug 1831 in Williamson Co. TN. (1) Based on the date of marriage she was probably born about 1812. The newspaper covering her marriage said she was the daughter of Edward Warren.

In a biography probably written by Roy Herron (found in Seguin Library) the following was taken from the Minutes of the General Assembly of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church of 1850. "Lydia (Warren) Herron died in Holly Springs, Marshall County, MS in December, a few days after her daughter Lydia Warren Herron was born. The infant was taken by her maternal aunt, Martha (Pat) Dabney (Warren) Smith to be reared with her family. The three older children remained with their father. Lydia must, however, have spent at least some of her summers with her father, because the 1850 and 1860 census show her in Andrew's household."

After Lydia died, Andrew married Mary Ann Whitehead, widow of Wilson W. Whitehead in Lexington, Holms, Co, Miss. She had 4 children and they had several more. Mary Ann was purported to be a wealthy widow. "Andrew's four children by Lydia Warren, whether it was warranted or not, heartily disliked their stepmother and took advantage of any opportunity to be away from home."
