Biography
First Generation
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 any of them) so it is possible the couple joined the Separatists faith and worshipped in secret with some currently unknown congregation.[4] After the family emigrated in 1620, they 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.[5] She died at Plymouth on 12 Oct 1673[6] and was buried at Burial Hill in Plymouth.[7]
Richard and Elizabeth had seven children; two sons (both born in New Plimouth) and daughters Mary, Ann, Sarah, Elizabeth & Abigail (all born in England)[8]
Second Generation
Mary Warren was born about 1611[9] She married at Plymouth about 1630 to Robert Bartlett.[10] They continued to live in Plymouth where they had eight children: two sons and six daughters (Rebecca, Mary, Sarah, Elizabeth, Lydia [born 8 Jun 1647] and Mercy [born 10 Mar 1650].[11]
Ann Warren was born about 1612[12] She married at Plymouth 28 Mar 1634 to John Cooke.[13] John and Ann continued to live in Plymouth until about 1665, when they moved to Dartmouth. Ann died 25 Jul 1696. John & Ann had six children; one son and five daughters (Elizabeth, Sarah, Esther, Mary and Mercy).
Sarah Warren was born before 19 Apr 1613[14]
Elizabeth Warren was born about 1616
Abigail Warren was born about 1619

- ↑ The family was described as being from London in the 1622 Mourt's Relation but 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.

- ↑ 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.
- ↑ 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.

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.
