"Richard WARREN (c. 1585 - c.1628) was a passenger on the Mayflower (old 'May Floure') in 1620. He settled in Plymouth Colony and was among ten passengers of the Mayflower landing party with Myles STANDISH at Cape Cod on November 11, 1620. WARREN co-signed the Mayflower Compact and was one of nineteen (of forty-one) signers who survived the first winter. Relatively little has been uncovered about Richard WARREN's life in America. He came alone on the Mayflower in 1620, leaving behind his wife and five daughters. His family traveled on the ship "Anne" to join him in 1623, and Richard and Elizabeth subsequently had two sons, Nathaniel and Joseph, at Plymouth."
"WARREN is among the less documented of the Mayflower pioneers. Clearly a man of rank, WARREN was accorded by Governor William BRADFORD the prefix 'Mr.,' pronounced Master, used in those times to distinguish someone because of birth or achievement. From his widow's subsequent land transactions, we can assume that he was among the wealthier of the original Plymouth settlers. And yet, BRADFORD did not mention him in his History of the Plimouth Plantation except in the List of Passengers."
"He was not of the Leiden, Holland, contingent, but joined them in Southampton, England to sail on the Mayflower."
"WARREN died a year after the division, in 1628, the only record of his death being found as a brief note in Nathaniel MORTON's 1669 book New England's Memorial"
Children: Mary; Ann; Sarah; Elizabeth; Abigail; Nathaniel; Joseph.
"Richard WARREN and Elizabeth WALKER married in Great Amwell, Hertfordshire on April 14, 1610. Richard WARREN died in 1628 and was buried on Burial Hill in Plymouth. Elizabeth died on October 2, 1673 in Plymouth. Her burial place is unknown."
