It didn't really give any proof for Purnel Warren's parentage though. However I have found the following which pretty much does show that William and Purnel were sons of Eli Warren, son of Wrixam and Rhoda (Bennett) Warren. Both William and Purnel/Purnal Warren were survived by two sisters, Sarah "Sally" Warren (married Charles Dickerson) and Mary "Polly" Warren (married Benton H. Dickerson). Sussex County, Delaware Land Record Vol. 57 pg. 450-452 dated 13 April 1832 recorded 29 October 1850 Sarah Dickerson, widow of Charles Dickerson, of Sussex Co., DE, to Allison Dickerson, of Jonathan, of Sussex Co., DE, for $40, lands that Jonathan Dickerson devised his son Allison, it being the same land that Wrixam Warren devised to his grandson William Warren, who died intestate and without issue, leaving two sisters, Sarah (the grantor) and Mary, now the wife of Benton Dickerson. Charles Dickerson became indebted and his land was sold by the sheriff to Jonathan Dickerson. Charles & Sarah Dickerson released by deed to Jonathan Dickerson, but the deed was faulty. Sarah Dickerson now releases her undivided one half interest in said lands to Allison Dickerson. Sarah "X" Dickerson (Seal) Witnesses: Caleb S. Layton, Corn. Paynter Oct. 25, 1832, rec'd of Mr. Allison Dickerson $40 for the use of Sarah Dickerson. Signed Caleb S. Layton, Atty for Sarah Dickerson.
