Can someone please help me verify Richard Warren Warren-66 line?

Question

Hello all. I have been able to verify Richard Warren descendants all the way to Warren Brainard (Brainard-239) and wife Clarissa Laura Cook or Lura Cook (Cook-12041) using Family Search Mayflower descendants.  I would like help with verifying their children, want to make sure I have the right line. I'm looking specifically for Orpha Brainard (Brainard-798) and her husband William Ockford? (Ockford-10), not sure about the husband but I did find mention of Orpha a while ago in an online genealogy of the Brainard line.

Answer 1

Vol. 18 of Mayflower Families Through Five Generations: Richard Warren (Mayflower Society, Vol. 18, Part 1 and 2) does not contain the names Brainard or Ockford.  There are Cooks, but not a Clarissa Laura or Laura Cook.

Can you please tell me how I can obtain this info?

There was an error in my initial post.  It should have said: "...does not contain the names Brainard or Ockford...[or] Clarissa Laura or Laura Cook."  I regret this error.

Unless you are more than five generations back, it appears to me that you are on the wrong track.

You can order the books I mentioned through the website of the Mayflower Society: https://themayflowersociety.org/ .  They are fairly expensive.

From American Ancestors's "Mayflower Applications" I see that Warren Brainard comes in at generation 8.

I find no Orpha Brainard or William Ockford.

The application lists Warren Brainard w. Lura Cook.  Only one application and it shows a daughter of Sarah Ann Brainard b. 1829 Ohio, m. 1848 Andrew J. Wells

Please check Warren and Lura's marriage date.  If Orpha is their first child, she was born 1812 and WikiTree has 1825 as their marriage date.  FS has it as 1809.  But neither provides a source.

Also, check Orpha's birth location, some have Jefferson, NY and others have Ohio.  Records lean towards Ohio.   Warren is in Ohio by 1820.

If you have a subscription to American Ancestors you can access a couple of their databases that may help.
