Mary was the daughter of John Warren and Margaret Bayly Fowle, she was born in Nayland, Suffolk, England and baptised there on September 12, 1624. In the year 1630, John, Margaret and four of their children, including Mary who was only six years old, joined the Winthrop Fleet and sailed for America on the ship "Arabella", arriving at Salem on June 12. After stopping in Salem and Charlestown, they settled in Watertown. Among the early records of Watertown, Massachusetts, is the record of Mary's marriage to John Bigelow, reading as follows: "1642-30-8, John Biguloh and Mary Warin joyned in mariag before Mr. Nowell." This is the earliest marriage found in the Watertown records. John and Mary had twelve children, all born in Watertown. Mary died in 1691, so John, as was the custom in those days, took a second wife, Sarah, the daughter of Joseph Bemis. Mary was buried in the Grove Hill Cemetery in Waltham.
