As we're closing in on the Thanksgiving celebration I thought I would inform everyone of their direct ancestors who were THERE for the first one.
I will begin with the Mayflower passenger who has been described as “one of the most common Mayflower passengers to be descended from. Richard Warren's descendants include such notables as Civil War general and President Ulysses S. Grant; President Franklin D. Roosevelt; and Alan B. Shepard, Jr. the first American in space and the fifth person to walk on the moon.”
Richard Warren was born in 1580 the child of Christopher and Alice. He married Elizabeth Walker, daughter of Augustine Walker, April 14th 1610 at Great Armwell, co. Hertford, England. Richard traveled alone as one of the passengers on the Mayflower, arriving at Plymouth in 1620. The author and genealogist Charles Edward Banks states that Warren came from London and was called a “merchant” of that city. Richard Warren was one of those very few English merchants who signed on to make the Mayflower voyage as a member of the Leiden contingent. His reason for this has not been determined, and given his status, it is unusual that little is actually known of him. He participated in some of the early explorations of Cape Cod, when a suitable settlement location was being searched for. One such extensive exploration began on Wednesday, December 6, 1620 in freezing weather using the ship’s shallop, a light, shallow-water boat with oars and sails which was navigated by two pilots, with a master gunner and three sailors. Pilgrims on board, in addition to Richard Warren, were senior members (Governor) Carver, Bradford, Standish and Winslow along with John and Edward Tilley, John Howland, Stephen Hopkins and Hopkins servant, Edward Doty. These persons were less than half the number of the previous exploration due to many having been felled by illness, the English exploring in freezing temperatures wearing unsuitable clothing due to not planning for the severity of the New England winter weather. This exploration would result in their first encounter with Indians and did not turn out well, as they learned that slow-firing muskets were no match for rapid-fire arrows. This Indian challenge to the Pilgrims was later known as the First Encounter. In 1623 Richard felt that conditions were right to bring his family over from England, so his wife and five daughters, Mary, Ann, Sarah, Elizabeth and Abigail came to Plymouth on the ship Anne. They had two more children in Plymouth, sons, Nathaniel and Joseph. He died on October 20, 1628, in Plymouth, Massachusetts, at the age of 48. He was buried at Burial Hill in Plymouth. Richard Warren’s widow Elizabeth would live to be more than ninety years of age, dying on October 2, 1673. Her death as noted in Plymouth Colony records: “Misstris Elizabeth Warren, an aged widow, …haveing lived a godly life, came to her grave as a shoke of corn fully ripe”. She was also buried at Burial Hill in Plymouth.
