Richard Warren witnessed 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 was married by about 1609 to Elizabeth Walker, who survived him for many years and whose identity also remains unknown.
In 1628 Richard 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 about 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:—
"Mistris Elizabeth Warren an aged widdow aged above 70 yeares Deceased on the second of October 1673 whoe haveing lived a Godly life Came to her Grave as a shok of Corn fully Ripe. Shee was honoralbey buried on the 24th"
