He lived in Wilton, Connecticut - and later, Hempstead, New York.

In 2021, he received an entry in "Who's Who Among African Americans."

It's a crying shame that I could only find this tiny notice - and there's no exact date! (At least his daughter's name was included, though not the initial "J." )

Excerpts:

"Warren J. Halliburton was one of the first authors to provide access
to African-American resources to the American public. Publishing from
the 1970s through the early 1990s, Halliburton offered a wide array
of materials to his readers, including simply worded biographies of
famous black Americans and histories of significant achievement of
black Americans aimed at school-aged children. He also contributed
eight volumes to the reference-based Africa Today Series. Although Halliburton's writing never gained him much critical or public
attention, his books were some of the very first on the shelves of
many school libraries that addressed issues important to African
Americans...

"...Halliburton followed his recounting of the events surrounding
Custer's last stand in The Tragedy of Little Bighorn, published in
1989, with another biography of a prominent black American, Supreme
Court Justice Clarence Thomas, published in 1993. In 1992 and 1993
Halliburton published eight titles in the Africa Today Series, with
topics ranging from wildlife to industries to city and village life.
The series, which is aimed at fourth- to sixth-graders, attempts to
make complex issues accessible to school-aged children. In his last publication, Historic Speeches of African Americans, Halliburton
compiles speeches by such famous black Americans as W. E. B. DuBois,
Booker T. Washington, Martin Luther King, and Malcolm X.

"Although many of his books have gone out of print, Halliburton's
prolific literary offerings marked an important place in the growth
and development of a core of nonfiction writings focused on African
and African-American topics."
