He moved here with his family before 1840, as he was listed in the Benton County, TN census for 1840, with a wife and two young sons. William, Jr., owned 200 acres of land in Benton Co, and on 1 February 1844, bought an additional 200 acres from Martha Wyatt.
In the 1850 Benton County census, William Warmack was listed with wife Rachel, age 38, and children: Thomas, age 18; William, age 15; Mary, age 8; Milly, age 6; Richard, age 4; Eliza, age 1.
