The passenger list: “Mr. Richard Warren; but his wife and children were lefte behind, and came afterwards.” On his family, about 1651: “Mr. Richard Warren lived some -4- or -5- years, and had his wife come over to him, by whom he had -2- sons before [he] dyed; and one of them is maryed, and hath -2- children. So his increase is -4-. But he had -5- doughters more came over with his wife, who are all maried, and living, and have many children” (2:407). Also John Beauchamp’s part among the London partners (2:311-312n) and Bradford’s note of a letter “to Mr. Edmond Freeman, brother in law to Mr. Beachamp” (2:335-336).

On William Collier, one of the London adventurers: he signed the 1626 agreement selling the adventurers’ interest to the Plymouth undertakers (2:6n, from Bradford’s Letter Book); Sherley and Hatherley wrote on 19 Mar 1629/30, “For Mr. Collier verily I could have wished it would have sorted his other affairs, to have been one of us, but he could not spare money … however, account of him as a sure friend” (2:82-83n); Isaac Allerton “had cleared up 400li. and put it into a brew-house of Mr. Colliers in London” (2:125), though the editors note that no London brewery can be tied to Collier with certainty. The editors quote Morton’s account of Collier’s coming in 1633 (2:158n).
