  1. Called "aged over 90" when she died 2 Oct 1673.
  2. Pilgrim Hall museum biography. She was not the daughter of his widow, Mary (Stringer) Walker, who was buried 26 Dec 1614 as they were married at Great Amwell on 27 Jun 1597.
  3. Richard was described as being from London in the 1622 Mourt's Relation. It is possible this simply refers to the fact he was not part of the Leiden Congregation but had been recruited by the Merchant Adventurers to join this emigration.
  4. Including her husband's role as one of the "Purchasers" of the Colony's grant from the investors.
  5. Plymouth Colony Records 8:35
  6. Find-a-grave for Elizabeth (Walker) Warren
  7. The first three daughters were named in the will of their maternal grandfather, Augustine Walker (dated 19 Apr 1613) thus confirming the marriage of Richard and Elizabeth was the Mayflower couple.
  8. Plymoth.org biography of Robert and Mary
  9. Parents married 14 Apr 1610 and had three children in the will of Elizabeth's father dated Apr 1613. In addition, Mary's death record stated she died 27 Mar 1683 in her 73d year (in other words, aged 72), which correlates to a birth of about 1611.
  10. Richard Warren biography and Robert Bartlett Biography They certainly were unmarried during the 1627 Cattle division (22 May 1627). As their daughter Rebecca was married in Dec 1649, they may have married shortly after this event.
  11. Plimoth.org biography of Thomas Little
  12. She filed a deposition dated 6 Jun 1672 stating she was then "aged sixty yeares or therabouts"
  13. Named in the will of her son Thomas, dated 19 Feb 1675/6.
  14. As with her mother, all of her daughters were older than any of her sons.
  15. named in the will of her maternal grandfather, Augustine Walker, bearing this date.
  16. Plymouth Colony Records I:13
  17. Posted bond for husband's estate.
  18. Plimoth.org biography of Richard Church
  19. Sworn to inventory of her husband's estate in Probate Court.
  20. Given her marriage date of Dec 1649. She was likely she was the eldest child and possibly born as early as 1628.
  21. Last child born 2 Jun 1657 and widow remarried 15 Jul 1658.
  22. It is possible she was born as early as 1630 and older than her brother Benjamin. As her last child was born in 1673, this places a limit on how early she could have been born.
  23. Several sources give a daughter, Mary, who married Nathaniel Atwood. Research in TAG 32:196 & MD 47:74-5 states Mary was almost certainly not a daughter of Jonathan & Mary.
  24. Widow remarried 14 Jun 1680.
  25. Estimate, based on married Dec 1661.
  26. She was named with her married surname in a deed of this date.
  27. Probate of her first husband's estate states she was about to remarry.
  28. Named in grandfather's 1671 will
  29. Second sister in 1675/6 will of brother, Thomas. HOWEVER, this would make her about 48 when her youngest child was born. 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.
  30. Gravestone Town Vital Records have 13 Mar 1711, but it is a copy of the original record, so more prone to errors.
  31. Estimate, based on married in Dec 1667.
  32. There is no PROOF regarding the maiden surname of Joanna, wife of William Coomer.
  33. This marriage is NOT found in MF5G 18(Warren) Part 1.
  34. Alternatively, she may have married first Boston 13 Jul 1693 Michael Homer and second Cambridge 5 Feb 1699/700 Christopher Hall and had two sons by her second husband.
  35. more likely an illegitimate daughter of Deborah born before she married Stephen Presbury.
  36. Several Sources state she married Joseph Rose (II) and had a couple of children. This marriage is not included in the Richard Warren "Silver Book".
  37. First child born Marshfield 16 Sep 1700.

mtDNA Results H1j10a [1]

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

As of 30 June 2022, FTDNA documents a total of 29 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.
