- From FindaGrave:
She is found in various contemporary records as Anna, Anne, and Ann. For instance, her husband's will calls her Anna. The old settlers cenotaph located in the Old Winslow Burying Ground, Marshfield, Massachusetts, spells her name as "Ann" Little; but keep in mind that monument was erected over two centuries after her death.
Anna's parents, Richard Warren & Elizabeth Walker married 14 April 1610, in Great Amwell, Hertfordshire, England. Elizabeth was the daughter of Augustine Walker, who died in 1614 in England.
Richard Warren, a well-to-do London merchant, sailed in 1620 on the "Mayflower" from England to the New World -- a miserable winter voyage lasting 66 days. Richard was among the ten passengers in the landing party at Cape Cod on November 11, 1620. Richard was one of the 41 who signed the Mayflower Compact. He was one of the 19 signers who survived the harsh first winter in Plymouth Colony. Of 102 passengers and about 30 crew members on the Mayflower, almost half died before spring arrived in 1621.
Richard Warren was not one of the Leiden Puritans fleeing religious persecution, but rather one of the so-called "strangers" who comprised more than half of the 102 passengers on the Mayflower. In Plymouth, he served as Assistant Governor of the Colony and was the 12th signer of the Mayflower Compact. One of the more important and accomplished members of the Colony, Gov. William Bradford referred to him as "Grave Richard Warren, a man of integrity, justice and uprightness, of piety and serious religion, a useful citizen, bearing a deep share of the difficulties and troubles of the plantation."
In 1623, Richard's wife Elizabeth and their five daughters: Mary, Anna, Sarah, Elizabeth, and Abigail, sailed from England to Plymouth, Massachusetts, on the ship "Anne" to join Richard. Richard & Elizabeth then had two sons: Nathaniel and Joseph, in Plymouth Colony before Richard died in 1628.
All seven of Richard Warren's children survived to adulthood, married, and had large families. He is the Mayflower passenger with the most descendants, numbering over 14 million. Included in that number are President Ulysses S. Grant, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt*, astronaut Alan Shephard, actor Richard Gere, authors Henry David Thoreau and Laura Ingalls Wilder, folk artist Grandma Moses, and United States Army General Leonard Wood.
Anna married 19 April 1633, in Plymouth, MA, to Thomas Little. He died in March 1671/72. Anna was likely buried beside her husband in Old Winslow Burying Ground in Marshfield, MA.
*FDR and my mother, Lucille Dutton Coulter, were 9th cousins. So FDR is my 9th cousin, once removed.
