Some of the the information about Warlands in Cambridgeshire, Massachusetts, is from:
Cambridge was originally named New Town. It was first settled in 1630 by Winthrop and a fleet of emigrants.
According to the Cambridge Massachusetts government website:
Newtowne, as Cambridge was called by the colonists until 1638, was laid out in an orderly grid of streets, bounded today by Eliot Square and Linden Street, Massachusetts Avenue and the River. Each family owned a house lot in the village, planting fields outside, and a share in the common land. Boston was eight long miles away: a ferry at the foot of JFK Street carried passengers over the river to a path -- now North Harvard Street -- that led through Brookline and Roxbury, eventually traversing the spit of land that is now Washington Street. Until the Great Bridge was built in 1660-62, this was the only way to Boston, except via the ferry from Charlestown. Soon, Newtowne had a meetinghouse, a school, and a marketplace (site of today's Winthrop Square). Harvard College, one of the first colleges in America, was founded in 1636 to train young men for the ministry and positions of leadership within the godly community.

John Guy (or Gay) earlier had a relationship (not clear if married) with Hannah and from that a daughter, Mary Guy (or Gay), was born on 17 April 1676; Mary died on 25 July 1676. According to Paige, this may be the same Hannah Guy or Gay who married Owen Warland.
It is not known exactly when Owen Warland arrived in the American colonies but it seems it was in the 1670s. According to Paige's history, Owen Warland was a currier. He married Hannah Gay/Guy on 3 April 1679. Owen and Hannah Warland resided on the north west corner of Holyoke and South streets, Cambridge, which estate he bought from John Shepherd on 18 September 1681.

Distinctly different were a small group of Anglicans -- barely a dozen households -- who lived apart from village affairs, relied on outside incomes, and entertained lavishly in grand homes along Tory Row (now Brattle Street). The Tories' houses and their church, Christ Church, still survive.
