Biography |
|---|
Richard Warren's primary role in the founding of Plymouth Colony was that of a contributing participant and essential signatory of the colony's foundational document. Warren was one of the "Strangers"—the non-Separatist passengers—who joined the voyage from London, distinguishing him from the Leiden congregation of Pilgrims. Upon the Mayflower's arrival in November 1620, he was one of the 41 men who signed the Mayflower Compact, which established a civil government and pledged the colonists to "covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil body politic." This act of signing cemented his importance in establishing the rule of law in the new settlement. Furthermore, Warren was a dependable member of the crucial early exploration parties tasked with searching Cape Cod for a suitable place to settle. These small groups faced freezing weather and danger, including the "First Encounter" with Indigenous people, and Warren's participation demonstrates his commitment to the physical and practical success of the colony during its most vulnerable phase.
Richard Warren's most enduring historic significance is deeply connected to the formidable role played by his widow, Elizabeth Walker Warren. While Richard himself survived the devastating first winter, he died relatively early, around 1628, leaving Elizabeth to manage their family of seven young children. As a widow, Elizabeth Warren became one of the most prominent and powerful women in the colony. She was formally granted her deceased husband's status as a "Purchaser" (a shareholder in the company that financed the colony), a unique distinction that involved the unanimous passing of a law by the Plymouth Court specifically for her. This official recognition allowed her to actively manage the family’s extensive land holdings, which stretched from Hob's Hole to Eel River. For the next 45 years, until her death in 1673, she successfully maintained her family’s wealth and standing, strategically deeding land to her sons-in-law as her daughters married. Elizabeth Warren's resilience and longevity not only ensured the continuity of the Warren family line—from which millions of Americans, including several U.S. Presidents, descend—but also provided a rare and powerful example of a woman exercising significant economic and legal influence in early colonial New England.4,5 |
Research Note |
|---|
This comment from Caleb Johnson, Mayflower researcher:
"Common mistake #1: Richard Warren's wife is not Elizabeth (Jewett/Jonatt/Juett) Marsh. This is easily disproven. Elizabeth (Jewett) Marsh was born in 1614, which makes her not only younger than Richard Warren's two oldest children, but also makes her only fourteen years old when Richard Warren died. [Mayflower Descendant 2:63]."1 |

Biography |
|---|
John Alden played a crucial, though initially unintended, part in the founding and survival of Plymouth Colony. Alden, unlike the Pilgrims, was not sailing for religious reasons. He was a cooper, hired in Southampton to secure the Mayflower's food and water during the arduous 1620 trip. This task was essential to the vessel's success, rendering the 21-year-old an indispensable member of the crew. Upon reaching Cape Cod, Alden was presented with the option of returning to England aboard the ship; however, he chose to remain with the colonists and integrate into the new community. His first act as a settler was signing the Mayflower Compact, establishing self-governance, making him the youngest of 41 signatories. Alden’s decision to remain permanently cemented his place in American history, leading to his marriage to fellow passenger Priscilla Mullins, one of the few survivors of the devastating first winter.
Following the initial hardship, Alden quickly transitioned from a tradesman to a foundational political leader in Plymouth. Leveraging his practical skills and his status as an early settler, he rose to serve the colony in numerous high-ranking administrative capacities. For over forty years, Alden held the office of Assistant to the Governor, participating in the colony's council, judicial decisions, and executive functions almost continuously from 1633 until his death in 1687. Alden served as the colony's Treasurer and was a member of the Council of War, contributing to economic stability and defense. He co-founded Duxbury, where he lived until his death.1,2,3 |
