In Thomas Warren the legitimate line of Geoffrey Plantagenet (1113 - 1151) through Matilda, Countess of Anjou to Henry II, King John, Henry III and the illegitimate line through Adelaide de Angiers to Hamelin Plantagenet and the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th Earls of Surrey and Warrene are united 450 years later.

Thomas Warren secured passage to Virginia by becoming an indentured servant of the Greenleafes, as he is listed as such on one of the logs.

Virginia Land Patent records of 1635, show that Thomas and Susan Warren, "RELICT OF ROBERT GREENLEAFE" were deeded 300 acres of land between them.

The following is copied from a stone in the floor of the South Transcript of Romsey Abbey:

Susan Greenleafe and Thomas Warren in Virginia
Reading the history of the WARREN FAMILY, it becomes apparent that there were many marriages arranged with the sole purpose of obtaining land and titles and holding onto vast family estates. Daughters of noblemen were married off to the sons of noblemen. Women were not allowed to own much land and quite often there was no love or fidelity involved in the marriage relationship.
As was English law, titles and land passed to the first-born sons.

Robert Greenleafe first arrived in Virginia in 1610. He made numerous crossings, each voyage lasting approximately three months. Ship passenger lists show that he made this treacherous voyage again in 1618 and 1620.
The promise of land and a new life with freedoms unrealized in England brought many thousands of desperate people to Virginia. The price of the voyage could be had by becoming an indentured servant, agreeing to work for the new landowner for a prescribed number of years.
Ship records show that Robert Greenleafe, aged 43, an "ancient planter" and his young wife Susan, aged 23, together with their two young children, Thomas, aged 3 and Anne, aged 22 months, landed in Virginia aboard the ship "Jonathan" in the year 1624.
We don't know what became of these two young children, as they are not listed on subsequent census records. Many settlers, especially the young, died of smallpox or other diseases, starvation and hardships untold. However, by the year 1635, Virginia Land Patent records show that Susan, the "relict" of Robert Greenleafe and her husband Thomas Warren were deeded 300 acres of land between them.
Susan Greenleafe Warren (b.1601) was approximately 39 years old when her and Thomas Warren's son JOHN R. WARREN was born.
