Paper trail
The origins and ancestry of Richard Warren has not yet been discovered. 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 sometimes 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]
Richard Warren came by himself aboard the Mayflower, leaving his wife and five daughters behind. They came over in the Anne in 1623. Besides the five daughters born in England, Richard & Elizabeth had two sons born at New Plimouth: Nathaniel & Joseph

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.[4] However, a discussion at Geni.com states a male who has tested 37 STR markers and has been predicted to fall under R1b-M269.[5]
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
