Progenitor of the Virginia Warrens.

In 1635 Thomas pateneted 300 acres of land in Charles City County. Thomas Warren was burgess in James City and Surry County as late as 1666. Sometime between then and 1677 he returned to England where he died at the age of 73. [Ed. Note: The definitions of the position of burgess are: a member of the English Parliament representing a town, borough, or university or a member of the lower house of the legislature of Colonial Virginia or Maryland.]

Susan Markham was not the wife of Thomas Warren. "Susan the relict of Robert Greenleafe" married Thomas Markham on 11 July 1636. On 11 July 1637 there is a reference to Susan Markham, relict of Robert Greenleafe.

The following is from "An article in VMH&B, 6:2201, states his (Thomas Warren of Surry County, Va) first wife was a Susan Greenleaf, widow of Robert Greenleaf; this has been declared an error in a much later article in VMH&B, 47:369. . . . Inasmuch as the erroneous information in VMH&B, 6:201 remains to mislead current researchers, the following is presented to place another Thomas Warren and his wife, Susan Greenleafe, at a date when Catherine Gookin's son Thomas Warren was only 11 years old and would not have departed from Co. Kent for another 5 years. 'Thomas Warren, 300 acs. Chas City County, 20 Nov 1635, p. 314. S. upon Bayliffs, E. upon the maine woods, W. upon the river, & N. upon 4 Mi. Cr. 150 acs in right of his wife Susan Greenleafe, the relict of Robert Greenleafe; 50 acs due for her per. adv. & 100 for ad Robert her former husband, being an Ancient Planter in the time of Sir Thomas Dale.' (Ref: Early Va. Fam. Along the James River, 1:2, Henrico & Goochland). Further, according to the muster of Robert Greenleafe, his wife Susan was 23 in 1620 (born about 1597)."

Thomas and Susan had three sons- John, born in 1640, Richard born in 1641 and Thomas born in 1644, Thomas and Richard removed to the Isle of Kent, Maryland ( I think it may have been Virginia in those days, for Ratcliff was in the Army of Virginia and was on Kent Island). John remained in Old Rappahannock county, Va., now known as Essex, Thomas Sr. died December 20, 1677 in Sandbach, Cheshire, England and is buried at Prestbury.
