CHURCH, Richard

Richard Church embarked on a journey from England to the New World as a passenger on the Winthrop Fleet in 1630, settling in the Plymouth Colony. In Plymouth, Richard married Elizabeth Warren, the daughter of Richard Warren, a Mayflower passenger. Elizabeth came to Plymouth Colony with her mother and siblings in 1623 on the ship "Anne." Richard was a carpenter, and his craftsmanship was likely a valuable asset in the growing colony. We are descended from Richard and Elizabeth on the Wright (Tucker) line.
