Richard Warren-717

Richard came to America in 1620 on the Mayflower. He was not one of the Puritans fleeing religious persecution from Leyden, Holland, but rather was one of the "Strangers" who joined the party in London. (these so-called "Strangers", over 30 men and families, comprised more than half the Mayflower passengers). The Mayflower, having departed Plymouth, England, on 6 September 1620, landed at Cape Cod in November of that year. Richard's wife and five daughters remained in England and came to Plymouth aboard the Anne in 1623. He is believed to have been a merchant in England before joining the Mayflower party. He joined the Pilgrims in Southampton and, upon their landing at Cape Cod, was one of ten men chosen to be in the exploring party, and was one of those surprised by the Indians in "The First Encounter". Though Warren's role in the colony appears to have been minimized in some Pilgrim histories, it appears that he was among the more important and accomplished of the first settlers. Richard was one of the signers of the Mayflower Compact, the first establishment of civil government in America. He was given the prefix "Mr.", or Master, by Governor William Bradford, which indicates one of high birth or achievement. He may have had a period of illness before his death in 1628. Even so, he appears as a leader of one of twelve groups formed to own cattle in 1627. In that same year, he is listed as one of the 58 sole proprietors of land in Plymouth Colony. About 1609, when Richard was 31, he married Elizabeth [ ? ], born about 1580 in England. Elizabeth died in Plymouth, MA on 2 Oct 1673; at age 93. Elizabeth's surname has been given variously as Juatt, Marsh, or Evans, without proof. She outlived her husband by 45 years. She never remarried, but was allowed to succeed to her husband's rights as "Purchaser". She was honored with the title "Mrs.", as most women were called "Goodwife".

"Mourt's Relation" was written primarily by Edward Winslow, although William Bradford appears to have written most of the first section. Written between November 1620 and November 1621, it describes in detail what happened from the landing of the Pilgrims at Cape Cod, though their exploring and eventual settling at Plymouth, to their relations with the surrounding Indians, up to the First Thanksgiving and the arrival of the ship Fortune. "Mourt's Relation" was first published in London in 1622, presumably by George Morton (hence the title, Mourt's Relation). The following is an excerpt from this publication:

"Wednesday, the 6th of December, it was resolved our discoverers should set forth, for the day before was too foul weather, and so they did, though it was well o'er the day ere all things could be ready. So ten of our men were appointed who were of themselves willing to undertake it, to wit, Captain Standish, Master Carver, William Bradford, Edward Winslow, John Tilley, Edward Tilley, John Howland, and three of London, Richard Warren, Stephen Hopkins, and Edward Doty, and two of our seamen, John Allerton and Thomas English. Of the ship's company there went two of the master's mates, Master Clarke and Master Coppin, the master gunner, and three sailors."
