    Notes:

    Richard is said to be of London. He came as a Pilgrim on the first Mayflower voyage to Plymouth in 1620, and is one of the forty-one signers of the Mayflower Compact. He is one of ten who were distinguished with the title Mister. Richard was one of the nineteen signers who survived the first winter. His wife and five daughters followed in 1623. Elizabeth Warren was called Mistress, a title reserved for noteworthy women.

    On 22 May 1627, the Division of Cattle names the Warren family: Richard, wife Elizabeth, Nathaniell, Joseph, Mary, Anna, Sara, Elizabeth, & Abigail.

    This and other information on Richard and his family can be found in "Mayflower Families Through Five Generations" Vol. 18, Richard Warren, compiled by Robert S. Wakefield, pub. 1999 by General Society of Mayflower Descendants.

    One genealogy, the Gray-Ide Bible Records (Family Tree Maker CD 180), gives Richard's wife as Esther Juatt. However, the Mayflower Society has found other information confirming Elizabeth Walker as his wife (see notes for Elizabeth).
