The first known record for Richard is his marriage to Elizabeth Walker at Great Amwell, Hertfordshire, England on 14 Apr 1610.[1] Richard was called "of London"[2] He was called "Mr." and it has been said he was one of the "principal men who had borne a deep share in the difficulties and troubles of first settling the plantation."[3]

Summary of findings
Previous Y-DNA testing
Currently, there are conflicting results for the identification of the Y-DNA Haplogroup for Richard Warren. The Mayflower DNA Project has one individual who has tested 67 STR markers and has been predicted to fall under E-M35.[1] However, a discussion at Geni.com states a male who has tested 37 STR markers and has been predicted to fall under R1b-M269.[2]
Further research and DNA testing is needed to confirm which (if either) of these individuals has a valid genetic line going back to Richard Warren
