Richard Warren Family Additional Reading Volume
18: Richard Warren Richard Warren's ancestry is unknown though he was said to be of London [Mourt's Relation, London, 1622, p. 15.]. Born, prob abt. 1578, He married by about 1609 Elizabeth ______, who survived him for many years and whose identity also remains unknown. [MD 3:46] The next year, 1628, he died at Plymouth, leaving his widow to care for a family of five daughters (four of whom were under seventeen), and two sons under four. Nathaniel Morton, in writing of the year 1628, speaks of his death as follows: [New England's Memorial, p. 68.]This year died Mr. Richard Warren, who hath been mentioned before in this Book,§ and was an useful Instrument; and during his life bare a deep share in the Difficulties and Troubles of the first Settlement of the Plantation of New-Plimouth. [MD 3:50] Mrs. Elizabeth Warren died at Plymouth, 2/12 October, 1673, aged above ninety years, having survived her husband forty-five years and lived to see at least seventy-five great-grandchildren. It seems impossible that her funeral should have been delayed for twenty-two days, and it is probable that there is an error in the record of her death, which follows:— Bradford's Passenger List: mr Richard Warren lived some 4 or 5 years, and had his wife come over to him, by whom he had 2 sons before dyed; and one of them is maryed, and hath .2. children So his Increase is .4. but he had .5. doughters more came over with his wife, who are all maried, & living & have many children. Division of the cattle in 1627 The ninth lot fell to Richard Warren* & his companie Children: Mary, m. Robert Bartlett Ann, m. Plymuth Thomas Little Sarah, m. Plymouth, John Cooke Jr. Elizabeth m.
