Genealogical Notes:-
(1). Richard WARREN appears to have married Eve (surnameunknown) in Fordington on 12 Oct 1591 (See very badlydamaged marriage Register). Eve appears to be still alivein 1636 and probably died after 1639 when all the parishregisters are missing..
(2). Marie Mary] BARTLETT was baptised as Marye WARREN inFordington 16th Aug 1592 and married John BARTLETT inFordington on 25th January 1634/5 - clearly without herfathers consent.
(3). Elizabeth COX (nee WARREN) mentioned above would havebeen born circa 1594-1599 when baptism records have mainlynot survived and already had children by this date.
(4). Johan is short for the Latin Johanna or modern Joanand was also probably born circa 1594-1599. There is notrace a marriage between a Johane [Joan or Johanna] Warrenand an Edward Sprague but certainly an Edward Sprague hadat least three children in Fordington but at this date themothers name is not given in the baptism registers: -
Elizabeth Sprague Baptised 1st May 1627- buried as Elizabeth Sprake 24 Sep 1631:
Edward Sprague (Junior) BaptisedFordington 1st Aug 1630 :
William Sprake (i.e. Sprague) Baptised28 July 1633.
These three baptisms are in fact the children of EdwardSprague (Senior) (c1601) one of six children that moved toFordington from Upwey when their father Edward Sprague(whom I have termed the elder purely for identificationpurposes), a fuller by trade died in 1614. The eldestdaughter Alice Sprague (c1597) married Richard EAMES inFordington in 1615. Her brother Christopher Sprague (c1607)died and was buried in Fordington in 1625. Ralph (c1599),Richard (c1605) and William (1609) Sprague emigrated to NewEngland in 1628. Edward Sprague Senior (c1601) would havebeen about the right age to have married c1626, and thismay have been why he did not emigrate with his brothers.Nothing else is known about the family so we do not havehis wife's Christian name.
Johane Warren however did marry in Fordington on 15 Aug1623 into the Sprague family, but this was to Ralph notEdward Sprague and she is known to have emigrated toMassachusetts - Ralph went on the Abigail in 1628 and hiswife Johane nee Warren is likely to have followed on theLyons Whelp in 1629. There is comment about this will in"The New England historical and Genealogical Register 1897Volume 51 page 105 where it states:-
"A curious mistake has been made here. Mr Warren's daughterJohan was the wife of Ralphe Sprague, not Edward as givenabove. But Ralph was a son of Edward Sprague, as we seefrom the latter's will given in my gleanings for April 1895(Reg vol 49 page 264). The names of father and son seem tohave been confounded. From Lechford's Note Book (pp 36-38as printed) we learn that Ralfe Sprague, sometime ofFordington , Dorset, fuller, afterwards of CharlestownN.E., planter and his wife Joane daughter of Richard Warrensent power of attorney (8-9-1638) to Mr William Derby ofDorchester (England) gentleman to demand and receive suchportions as might come to them from Warrens estate andremit the same through Sprague's sister Alice Eames atPomberry Hill near Dorchester. A letter was sent the sameday by Ralfe Sprague to his sister Alice about the matter.In August 1640 (Lechford p 301) Ralfe Sprague and his wifeJoane made John Holland of Tinckleton, Dorset fuller anattorney to receive of John Cox of Bowlington and Elizabethhis wife executors of Richard Warren deceased, seven poundsgiven by his will to the said Joane and her children John,Jonathan, Richard, Samuel, Mary and Phineas, or any othersum due unto them. ---For the reference to the foregoingwill I am indebted to Mr. F,J. Pope, who kindly assisted meabout the Cole wills in the October number of the Registerfor 1895 H.F.W. --- See in the Register for July 1850 page289 a letter to Ralfe Sprague from John Corbin dated March25, 1651. Corbin calls himself a 'father in law' to Sprague"
(5). There is evidence of other children being born toRichard & Eve WARREN:- Editha was baptised 2 July 1605 andburied 29 Oct 1625. Christian was buried 8 July 1626
(6). William JOLIFFE was a wealthy draper living inDorchester, he was appointed treasurer of the restorationfund after the Fire which occurred in Dorchester on 30thJan 1623 .
(7). John Holland of Tincleton married Alice Eames neeSprague 20 Dec 1638
(8). William Derby was Town Clerk of Dorchester 1629-1648and one of the investors in the Dorchester Company
NOTE: This Richard Warren, who died in Fordington, is notto be confused with the Mayflower Richard Warren, who diedin Massachusetts. [1]
