Ransom Erskine Warren was born born in 1877 and was always listed as the son of John and Martha Warren. He was however their grandson. Many of the families in this era had situations like this. An unwed daughter had a child at home and her parents claimed the child. In those days the Church was similar to a court. If some sin was committed a person could be excommunicated from the church. Church was very important to the families in this area of Rutherford County. I have the book detailing the history of the Bill's Creek Baptist Church. It is full of situations where a male or a female was banned from attending the church for such things as dancing, or over drinking, playing cards, or passing rumors. I have heard the term of being "Churched" for activities of this nature. Church then was not only for religion but also a main social hub for the community. When John and Martha's daughter Easter Manervia became pregnant she and Martha remained at home until the baby was born and without telling a huge lie just let people think that it was another child of Martha's. Family of course knew the truth and probably most of the neighbors. Erk as he was always known grew up on Bald Mountain and married Hester Emily Hudgins the daughter of Starling Alexander Hudgins( better know as Tarley Hudgins) and Ellen Spicer Hudgins. Erk and Hester had eight known Children.
Erk and Hester are buried in Bald Mountain Cemetery
