Background
Biography
Elizabeth is said to have been baptized at Baldock, Hertfordshire, England in Sep 1583[1] the daughter of Augustine Walker.[2] Elizabeth married Richard Warren at Great Amwell, Hertfordshire on 14 Apr 1610.[3] Their children were not baptized at Great Amwell (in fact, no baptismal records can be found for their children) so it is believed the couple likely joined the Separatists faith. The family remained at Plymouth, where Richard died in 1628. While Elizabeth survived her husband by almost fifty years, she never remarried and managed her estate independently. She died at Plymouth on 12 Oct 1673[4] and was buried at Burial Hill in Plymouth.</ref>Find-a-grave for Elizabeth (Walker) Warren

mtDNA Results
We know from the results of three mtDNA tests from two different daughters of Elizabeth (Tilley) Howland, the "umbilical" line falls under haplogroup H1a1 with no extra mutations. The RSRS values for the HVR/Control Regions, as reported by ftdna.com, are 146T, 152T, 195T, 247G, 522.1A, 522.2C, 315.1C, 16129G, 16162G, 16187C, 16189T, 16209C, 16223C, 16230A, 16278C, 16311T.
In addition, according to the H1 mtGenome Project the following Coding Region mutations also fall under H1a1 3010A (H1); 73G; 6365C (H1a1). This project also dates the H1a1 clade as originating approximately 2500 B.C.E., so it is a VERY old haplogroup.
One of the mtDNA descendants results was inputted into James Lick's mthap utility. The result came up with an exact match to the H1a1 haplogroup with no additional mutations (besides the flaky 315.1C and 16519C mutations).
Thus mtDNA testing cannot be used to conclusively prove someone was a mtDNA descendant of Elizabeth Tilley, but it can be used to conclusively disprove such a relationship. In addition, mtDNA testing can be used to support a conclusion about a line being descended from Elizabeth, but additional evidence is also needed.
mtDNA Descendants
Second Generation:
Desire (c1625-1683) married Capt. John Gorham and had six daughters. FTDNA Kit #337121 descends from Desire.
Hope (1629-1683/4) married Lieut. John Chipman and had eight daughters.
Elizabeth (1631-1691/2) married Ephraim Hicks (no children) and Capt. John Dickinson (five daughters). Her eldest daughter, Elizabeth (1652-) is said to have married Caleb Wright and Gershom Lockwood. However, no contemporary record proves this relationship, so the GSMD does not currently accept descendants of Caleb & Elizabeth. If a mtDNA descendant of Elizabeth is tested, and found to be a match to Elizabeth (Tilley) Howland's DNA, then there is a chance the GSMD may accept this line.
Lydia (1633-1710) married Maj. James Brown and had one daughter who survived infancy and married, Dorothy (1666-1727). Dorothy had three daughters who married. FTDNA Kit #159230 (deceased) descends from this line.
Hannah (1637-1705) married Jonathan Bosworth and had one daughter who married, Hannah (1663-1723). Hannah had two daughters who married (Hannah & Elizabeth) but mtDNA descendants only continue from Hannah (1690-1738).
Ruth (1646-1679) married Thomas Cushman and had one daughter, Desire (1673-1762). Desire married Ens. Samuel Kent and had one daughter, Hannah (1702-1796). Hannah had six daughters who married.
Allied Families
The following families are connected to John Howland via marriage to descendants:
Gorham (Capt. John Gorham married Desire Howland). Y-DNA predicted to fall under I-M253 based on STR markers for two descendants
Chipman (Elder John Chipman married Hope Howland). Y-DNA predicted to fall under I-M223 based on 37 STR markers for a descendant
Dickinson (Capt. John Dickinson was the second husband to Elizabeth Howland).[1]
Hawes (John Hawes married Desire Gorham). Y-DNA predicted to fall under I-M253 based on the 37 STR markers for two descendants
Baxter (Thomas Baxter married Temperance Gorham)
- ↑ Elizabeth married first, Plymouth 13 Sep 1649 to Ephraim Hicks. Ephraim died three months later (on 12 Dec 1649) and they had no children.
