Biography

It has been hypothesized that Sarah Walker, wife of Nathaniel Warren, was the Sara Walker baptised on 10 November 1622 at St Olave Bermondsey, Southwark, Surrey, England.[1]

The St Olave Bermondsey Church Record reads, "Sara d. of Will Walker, Drap" (draper).[2]

John Insley Coddington[3] has suggested that when William Collier married her, Jane Clark was a widow, and that by her Clark husband she had a daughter who married a Walker. Coddington further suggests that the Sara, daughter of William Walker, who was baptized at St. Olave's, Southwark, on 10 November 1622 was the grandchild of Jane Collier who married Nathaniel Warren. If this solution is correct, it would also explain the 1650 land transaction in which William Collier granted to "my kinsman William Clark."[4]

Sarah Walker married Nathaniel Warren on 19 November 1645 in Plymouth, Plymouth Colony, New England,[5] the son of Mayflower passengers Richard and Elizabeth (Walker) Warren. He was born at Plymouth about 1624[6] and died there between 16 July 1667 and 21 October 1667, the dates of a codicil to his will and the date his inventory.[1]

On 7 June 1653, "Mrs. Jane Collyare in behalf of her grandchild the wife of the said Nathaniel Warren" petitioned Plymouth Court in a land dispute.[7]

On 28 March 1685, Sarah sold land in Middleborough to her son Nathaniel Warren of Middleborough.[8]

On 09 January 1689/90, with an acknowledgement the following day, Sarah Warren sold land in Plymouth to her son James Warren with the other heirs of Nathaniel Warren consenting to the sale. The consenting heirs were Richard Warren, Nathaniel Warren, Jabiz Warren, Elizabeth Green, Sarah Blackwell, Thomas Gibbs and his wife Alice, Jonathan Delano and his wife Mercy.[1][9]

Sarah Warren died in Plymouth on 24 November 1700.[1]

Walker-64834 and Walker-1262 appear to represent the same person because: Clear duplicate.

Reading a recent article in The Mayflower Descendant (Vol 69, Winter 2021) it not clear how Sarah Walker is connected to Jane Collier as her granddaughter. I know high quality sources show them connected, but none specify the lineage from Jane to Sarah. According to the MD article, Jane had two Clarke daughters: Margaret, who married Alexander Wilding; and Joyce Clarke, for whom the article does not show any spouses. Jane also had a son, Thomas Clarke, but no spouses were identified for him in the article either. Jane's children Joyce Clarke and Thomas Clarke were known to be living in February 1625-6, but her daugher, Margaret passed away in July 1626. Further research is needed to make a clear identification of how Sarah relates to Jane Collier.

Source #7: Mayflower Descendent (1889) p.141 above: PCR record: shows that Jane Collyare had a agreement with Elizabeth Warren, mother of Nathaniel Warren, who was the husband of her grandchild...

It's also discussed under Associations (last para) in GM, but appears to be under speculations. https://www.americanancestors.org/DB393/i/12107/448/23894807

Yes, I have seen that. It does seem clear that Jane and Sarah are connected as grandmother/grandchild, but it just isn't clear how. The last portion in Anderson, especially, discussing William Collier making a grant to his "kinsman William Clark" definitely does not seem to relate to Jane's prior marriage, directly. The only mention of a William Clark was as the son of Joyce Clark, John Arnold's (Jane's stepfather) deceased sister.

Walker-48071 and Walker-1262 appear to represent the same person because: Same spouse & daughter, please merge duplicates.

3rd para says June 1653 Mrs.Jane Collier - on behalf of her grandchild , the wife of Nathaniel. Meaning her grand daughter married Nathaniel Warren.
posted by Chris Hoyt
I didn't know that Jane Collier married Nathaniel Warren? (stated as such in para 3 'On 19 Nov, etc.'.

Thought Jane's supposed granddaughter Sarah Walker m. Nathaniel.

Should Margaret Clark Walker (Clark-3586) be connected as mother of Sarah Walker Warren (Walker-1262)? Sarah is connected as daughter to William Walker and Margaret is connected to William as his wife. Sarah is project protected and I cannot make this change.
