Richard Warren

This information came to light with the discovery of Augustine Walker's will dated 19 April 1613, in which he named his daughter Elizabeth and her children Mary, Ann and Sarah Warren.

This, combined with a lack of proper rations and unsanitary conditions for several months, contributed to what would be fatal for many, especially the majority of women and children.

After several days of trying to sail south to their planned destination of the Colony of Virginia, strong winter seas forced them to return to the harbor at Cape Cod hook, where they anchored on 11/21 November.

[4] One such extensive exploration began on Wednesday, 6 December 1620 in freezing weather using the ship's shallop, a light, shallow-water boat with oars and sails which was navigated by two pilots, with a master gunner and three sailors.

The English explored in freezing temperatures wearing unsuitable clothing due to not planning for the severity of the New England winter weather.

[10][self-published source] In the 1623 Division of Land, Warren received two "akers" (acres) of land in one area—"these lye one the north side of the towne nexte adjoyning to their gardens which came in Fortune" and five acres in another—"these following lye on the other side of the towne towards the eele-riuer (Eel River)" (as Richard "Waren").

That group was called Undertakers, and were made up of such as Bradford, Standish and Allerton initially who were later joined by Winslow, Brewster, Howland, Alden, Prence and others from London, former Merchant Adventurers.

"[13] Elizabeth Warren, as a widow, was named in a law passed by the Plymouth Court specifically to give her the Purchaser status that her husband had: "hee dying before he had performed the bargaine, the said Elizabeth performed the same after his decease, …"[14] In the 1627 Division of Cattle, Richard, his wife and their seven children, in the ninth lot, received several animals that had arrived on the ship Jacob, apparently in 1625.

Morton, in his 1669 book New England's Memorial, recorded that "This Year [1628] died Mr. Richard Warren, who .... was an useful Instrument; and during his life bare a deep share of the Difficulties and Troubles of the first Settlement of the Plantation of New-Plymouth [sic]" (p. 68).

[1][11][16] From Bradford's recorded Plymouth history: "Mr. Richard Warren lived some *4* or *5* years, and had his wife come over to him, by whom he had *2* sons before [he] dyed; and one of them is maryed, and hath *2* children.

Her death was noted in Plymouth Colony records: "Misstris Elizabeth Warren, an aged widow, ...haveing lived a godly life, came to her grave as a shoke of corn fully ripe".
