      Richard Warren's English origins and ancestry have been the subject of m uch speculation, and countless different ancestries have been published f or him, without a shred of evidence to support them. Luckily in Decembe r 2002, Edward Davies discovered the missing piece of the puzzle. Resea rchers had long known of the marriage of Richard Warren to Elizabeth Wa lker on 14 April 1610 at Great Amwell, Hertford. Since we know the Mayf lower passenger had a wife named Elizabeth, and a first child born abou t 1610, this was a promising record. But no children were found for thi s couple in the parish registers, and no further evidence beyond the na mes and timing, until the will of Augustine Walker was discovered. In t he will of Augustine Walker, dated April 1613, he mentions "my daughter E lizabeth Warren wife of Richard Warren", and "her three children Mary, A nn and Sarah." We know that the Mayflower passenger's first three child ren were named Mary, Ann, and Sarah (in that birth order).

      Very little is known about Richard Warren's life in America. He came al one on the Mayflower in 1620, leaving behind his wife and five daughter s. They came to him on the ship Anne in 1623, and Richard and Elizabeth s ubsequently had sons Nathaniel and Joseph at Plymouth. He received his a cres in the Division of Land in 1623, and his family shared in the 1627 D ivision of Cattle. But he died a year later in 1628. The only record of h is death is found in Nathaniel Morton's 1669 book New England's Memoria l, in which he writes: "This year [1628] died Mr. Richard Warren, who w as an useful instrument and during his life bare a deep share in the di fficulties and troubles of the first settlement of the Plantation of Ne w Plymouth."

      All of Richard Warren's children survived to adulthood, married, and ha d large families: making Richard Warren one of the most common Mayflowe r passengers to be descended from. Richard Warren's descendants include s uch notables as Civil War general and President Ulysses S. Grant; Presi dent Franklin D. Roosevelt; and Alan B. Shepard, Jr. the first American i n space and the fifth person to walk on the moon.
