(1)  Richard Warren, born about 1580 in Hertfordshire, England, died in 1628 in Plymouth, Plymouth Co., Massachusetts; married on 14 April 1610 at Great Amwell, Hertfordshire, England, Elizabeth Walker, baptized September 1583 at Baldock, Hertfordshire, “aged above ninety” at her death in October 1673.
Elizabeth was a daughter of Augustine Walker. The will of Augustine Walker, of “much” Amwell, written in April 1613, states: “I give & bequeath unto my daughter Elizabeth Warren wife of Richard Warren Sixteene pounds of lawefull money of England, and unto her three Children Marey, Ann and Sarey Warren Fower pounds...”
        Richard immigrated to Massachusetts aboard the Mayflower in 1620. His wife Elizabeth and their children came on the ship Anne in 1623.
        Richard Warren was one of ten (out of forty-one) signers of the Mayflower Compact who were distinguished by the title "Mister."  Elizabeth, was usually called "Mistress," a title not at all common then.
        Richard's death was recorded in Nathaniel Morton's New England's Memorial (1669): "This year [1628] died Mr. Richard Warren, who 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 Plymouth."
