He married Anna Laura Moulder on November 3, 1878 in Camden County, Missouri. She was born October 14, 1858 in Camden County, Missouri and died on November 20, 1932 in Camden County, Missouri. They are buried in the Green Ridge Cemetery in Camden County, Missouri.

Anna Laura Moulder was a daughter of Valentine Felta Moulder and Elizabeth Williams. Zephaniah Warren and Anna Laura Moulder were step-brother and step-sister when they were married.

Zephaniah Warren professed a faith in God in young manhood and united with the old Prairie Hollow Baptist Church. In later years he transferred his membership to Harmony Baptist Church at High Point. In 1901 he united with the Free Will Baptist Church at Green Ridge.  He was a charter member of this church and was elected deacon at the first church meeting. He was re-elected deacon many times until he was chosen for life. He held this position and remained a faithful member until death.

He and his family gave much of their services and contributions to the building and maintenance of
this fine little county church. Zeff united with the Mack Creek A.F. and A.M. Lodge No. 433 and was made a Master Mason on Dec. 26, 1885. He had remained a loyal and faithful member for almost 50 years and was the oldest member of the lodge at the time of his death. He took a great interest in Free Masonry and lived and practiced its teachings and principle. He moved to the farm where he died in February and had continually lived at this home.  He lived to see his entire family reach manhood and womanhood without a death in his home until the death of his wife. Zeff was a descendant of one of the early pioneer families of Camden County and his passing is the loss of a old landmark of vicinity. He was a loving father, a good neighbor and a citizen who will be missed by his church school and  community. He is buried at the Green Ridge Church. My Mother is buried there too. He was known as Zeff, Uncle Zeph. He was one of the leading Democrats of Adair Township, and was on that party ticket for District Judge at one time and ran for ahead of his ticket.
