Robert Warren and his relations have been comprehensively studied by both Threlfall and Smith. According to Smith,55 "This Robert Warren was probably the able-bodied man of Nayland taxed for a moveable estate valued at �4 in 1522 (Military Survey of 1522 for Babergh Hundred, 32). In 1524 a Robert Warren of Wiston was taxed for wages of �1 and in Nayland for �6 in property (1524 Subsidy Return, 21, 8).

"The will of Robert Warren of Wiston was abstracted by Elizabeth French in the Register 64[1910]:348" and is reproduced by both Smith and Threlfall. Threlfall provides additional details about some of Robert's children not traced by Smith. Smith is undertain whether Margaret _____ is the mother of Robert Warren's children.

Robert was born perhaps about 1485 and married Margaret Legh. He lived in Wissington, Suffolk, England when he wrote his will, abstracted as follows:

The Will of Robarte Warren, aged and sick in body, 29 October 1544. To be buried in the churchyard of our lady at Wyston [Wissington]. To the high altar there 12d.

Robert Warren married Margaret Legh, a Baguley descendant. This family would unite again with the marriage of John Bigelow (Baguley) and Mary Warren in Watertown, Mass. and found the Bigelow family in the New World. This marriage proves the close relationship between these two families, long before their arrival in the New World as part of the Winthrop Fleet.

• 1. Robert WARREN was born about 1485 in Wissington, Sufolk, England.1 He died about 1545 in Wissington, Suffolk, England.2 Source: Fifty Great Migration Colonists, John Brooks Threlfall, pub.Heritage Books, Bowie, MD, 1992, p. 491-492 Robert Warren was born perhaps about 1485 and had a wife, Margaret. His will was dated 29 October 1544. Strangely, in his will he did not metion his son, John, unless the copy at Bury Saint Edmunds is imperfect. This son John, however, is mentioned in the will of his brother Thomas in 1559.
• In the Subsidy return for Suffolk in 1327, there is listed Walter Waryn of Nayland, taxed for 3 shillings, which represented one twentieth of the value of his moveables. There were several others named Warren in other towns of Suffolk. Walter, however, being the only one in Nayland, was presumably the ancestor of Robert.
• In the Subsidyof 1524, Robert Waryn of Wyston was down for a tax of four pence on 1 pound of wages. Also on the Wyston list was a John Waryn taxed 3s on goods valued at 6 pounds. John was the second wealthiest man on the Wyston list, was probably the father of Robert.
• Probably Thomas Warren, also of Wiston, who left a will dated 1558, was Robert's brother.
• Robert WARREN and Margaret _____ had the following children:
  • 2 i. Lawrence WARREN.
  • 3 ii. James WARREN was born about 1515. He died in 1594 in Wissington, Suffolk, England.3
  • +4 iii. Thomas WARREN.
  • +5 iv. John WARREN.
  • +6 v. Ann WARREN.
  • 7 vi. William WARREN.
