Elizabeth Walker

     Elizabeth Walker was baptized in September 1583 at Baldock, Hertfordshire, England.² She was born circa 1583 at England. She was the daughter of Augustine Walker.¹ Elizabeth Walker married Richard Warren on 14 April 1610 at Great Amwell, Hertfordshire, England.^1,3 Elizabeth Walker died on 22 October 1673 at Plymouth, Plymouth Co, Massachusetts, at age 90.⁴ She was buried on 24 October 1673.^5,4
     In December 2002, evidence came to light that finally proved that Elizabeth was a Walker.
Richard's wife Elizabeth and daughters finally came to Plymouth in 1623 on the "Anne". She was one of the first purchasers of Dartmouth. She must have been a woman of force, influence and social position in the community as she was usually referred to as "Mistress", a designation by no means common.
After Richard's death, Elizabeth had the courage and means to carry on without remarrying. She raised all seven of her children to maturity and guided her five daughters into marriages to men who all became leaders in the colony.¹
