It is possible she was born abt 1642, and aged about 19 when married and about 43 when last child born. The MF5G 18 (Warren) part 1 p. 20 #18 has born ca 1637 which seems too early.

mtDNA Results H1j10a [1]

The FTDNA Mayflower Project and the Elizabeth WALKER Warren mtDNA Lineage Project currently documents nine matrilineal (all female line) descendants of Elizabeth (Walker) Warren. All nine have been assigned to the H1j haplogroup, but the YFull mtDNA tree has futher refined the clade to H1j10a.[2]

As of 1 October 2024, FTDNA documents a total of 31 individuals who have taken a Full mtDNA test and are exact mtDNA matches to most[3] of the known matrilineal descendants of Elizabeth WALKER Warren. As such, the H1j10a haplogroup is not limited to matrilineal descendants of Elizabeth WALKER Warren, but it is believed they all likely descend from a matrilineal ancestor of Elizabeth. Thus the H1j10a Haplogroup in and of itself cannot be used to conclusively identify a matrilineal line from Elizabeth, but all of Elizabeth's matrilineal descendants must fall under this haplogroup (with the possibility of additional mutations).

Speculation

Currently, the four individuals in YFull's mtDNA tree who fall under H1j10, but are not H1j10a are all from Spain.[4] As such it may be possible where a matrilineal ancestor of Elizabeth had emigrated from Spain to England. Given this, it may be possible where Elizabeth Walker, wife of Richard Warren was a matrilineal descendant of Eleanor of Castille (c1240-1289) who married future King Edward I of England. While it is impossible to trace Elizabeth's matrilineal ancestry (we don't even know the given OR surname for her mother), it may be possible (but a Herculean task) to trace a living matrilineal descendant of Eleanor and have them take a mtDNA test.

  1. ↑ From YFull mtDNA tree
  2. ↑ Family Tree DNA is currently undertaking a "Million Mito Project" hoping to gather over half a million Full mtDNA results and redraw the mtDNA tree.
  3. ↑ One known descendant has an additional mutation, a heteroplasmy at location G15884R (G and A)
  4. ↑ This includes one ancient DNA remain.

DNA tested lines

As of 1 Jan 2023 there are eight currently known matrilineal descendants posted at the FTDNA Mayflower Project and the Elizabeth WALKER Warren mtDNA Lineage Project Six are descended from Elizabeth's daughter, Sarah WARREN Cooke, and Sarah's daughter, Mary COOKE Taber, while the seventh is descended from Ann WARREN Little and the eighth from Mary WARREN Bartlett. Anyone who is a matrilineal descendant of Elizabeth (Walker) Warren and has mtDNA tested is encouraged to join this mtDNA lineage project.
