The last mentioned land is possibly that granted to him, 5 June, 1662, in consideration of being one of the first born children in the colony. After his death this land became the property of his son James. He was also the owner of lot number five in the Namasket or Middleborough purchase; had rights in Punckateesett on Seconnett River, now in Rhode Island, as well as grants at Agawam and Manomett Ponds.

Family notes

One of Nathaniel Warren's Descendants is Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

In Nathaniel Warren's Will he speaks of his mother Elizabeth Warren, brother Joseph Warren, sister Mary Bartlett, Ann Little, Sarah Cooke and Elizabeth Church and Abigail Snowe. The Will is in the book "The Mayflower Reader".

Richard Warren of the Mayflower

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Warren#Marriage_and_Children

The Warren family is listed in the division of cattle, 1627.[5] [12] It is believed that the list includes everyone's name residing then in Plymouth.

The Warren house, built in 1627, stood at the same location as the present house, at the head of Clifford Road, with its back to the sea. It was re-built about 1700 and owned by Charles Strickland (in 1976).

Richard Warren died at Plymouth in 1628[5] leaving his wife and seven children. "This year [1628] died Mr. Richard Warren, who hath been mentioned before in this book, and was an useful instrument; and during his life bore a deep share in the difficulties and troubles of the first settlement of the plantation of New Plimouth." Nathaniel Morton, New England's Memorial (Boston : John Usher, 1669).

Richard Warren left behind a wife, remarkable in her own right, seven children who married and had descendants numbering in the millions, probably the largest number of any Mayflower Family. During her widowhood, Elizabeth Warren's name is noted in Plymouth Colony records. Elizabeth was listed as the executor of her husband's estate, paying taxes as head of household and as an independent agent in her own right.

Richard married Elizabeth Walker, 14 Apr 1610, at Great Amwell, Hertford, England, daughter of Augustine Walker.[13]

All of Richard Warren's children survived to adulthood, married, and also had large families. It is claimed that Warren has the largest posterity of any pilgrim, numbering 14 million, the Mayflower passenger with more descendants than any other passenger.[14]

Reference Notes

Richard's wife is sometimes assumed to have been Elizabeth (Jewett) Marsh (born in 1614) [Mayflower Descendant 2:63].[15] This marriage is impossible - she was only 14 years old when Richard died.
