Children include Elizabeth

Elizabeth was the wife of Richard Warren of London, who sailed in the Mayflower in 1620. She stayed behind in England with their five daughters and followed in the Anne in 1623. Two sons, Nathaniel and Joseph, were born to her at Plymouth. Her husband died in 1628.

She was a widow for forty five years and managed the family's affairs herself. She stood in her husband's place as one of the Purchasers, the settlers who bought out the colony's London backers. As her daughters married she gave land to their husbands. On 7 March 1636/7 the Plymouth court ordered that she stand as purchaser "for the establishing of the lots of lands given formerly by her unto her sons-in-law Richard Church, Robert Bartlett and Thomas Little, in marriage with their wives, her daughters." She was also among the first purchasers of Dartmouth.

She died at Plymouth on 2 October 1673. The town record gives her age as about ninety. Savage thought the family's fondness for exaggeration made it ninety three.
