Frequent trips to England, especially in the 1620s and 1630s, on
personal and colony business. In early 1621, after the death of
John Carver, William Bradford was chosen Governor, and "Isaac
Allerton was chosen to be an assistant unto him who, by renewed
election every year, continued sundry years together" [Bradford
86]. Chosen Assistant, 1 January 1633/4 [PCR 1:21].
ESTATE: In the 1623 Plymouth land division "Mr. Isaak Alerton"
received seven acres [PCR 12:4; MQ 40:10]. In the 1627 Plymouth
cattle division Mr. Isaac Allerton, his wife Feare Allerton,
Bartholomew Allerton, Remember Allerton, Mary Allerton and Sarah
Allerton were the first six persons in the second company [PCR
12:9]."
"In his list of Mayflower passengers Bradford included "Mr.
Isaac Allerton and Mary his wife, with three children,
Bartholomew, Remember and Mary. And a servant boy John Hooke"
[Bradford 441]. In his 1651 accounting of these families, he
reported that "Mr. Allerton his wife died with the first, and
his servant John Hooke. His son Bartle is married in England but
I know not how many children he hath. His daughter Remember is
married at Salem and hath three or four children living. And his
daughter Mary is married here and hath four children. Himself
married again with the daughter of Mr. Brewster and hath one son
living by her, but she is long since dead. And he is married
again and hath left this place long ago. So I account his
increase to be eight, besides his son's in England" [Bradford
444-45].
Isaac Allerton was one of the busiest and most complicated men
in early New England, and no attempt is made here to cover his
career comprehensively. A full-scale biography would be needed
for that, and an outline of what is available is given in the
next section below. Records for Allerton may be found in
virtually every colony on the Atlantic seaboard and in the
Caribbean, including Newfoundland, New Netherland, New Sweden,
Virginia, Barbadoes, and Curacao.
Although some records of Allerton in New Netherland describe him
as "of Suffolk," it is not certain that this refers to his place
of origin in England, as some have claimed.
In noting his various residences above, we do not estimate years
of removal, as he seems to have maintained residences
simultaneously at more than one location. Also, the attempt made
above to describe the estate of Allerton does not come close to
showing the magnitude and intricacy of his business activities.
No one has yet tried to survey comprehensively this, the major
part of Allerton's life. Since Moses Maverick, the husband of
Remember Allerton, received Isaac Allerton's estate at
Marblehead, and Isaac Jr. received his father's estate at New
Haven, it is likely that Thomas and Mary (Allerton) Cushman were
at some time given Allerton's property at Plymouth (assuming
that there was more at Plymouth than the debt assigned by
Allerton to Cushman in 1646 [PCR 2:133]).
BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE: The descendants of Isaac Allerton were
treated extensively by Walter S. Allerton about a century ago,
but this account is now obsolete [A History of the Allerton
Family in the United States, 1585 to 1885... (New York 1888,
rev. 1900)].
More recently Lora Underhill published an extremely detailed
account of Isaac Allerton and his children [Small Gen 756-851].
Although this version of the life of Isaac Allerton has been
shown to have errors, and although many new discoveries have
been made, it has great value because it attempts to cite every
record in which Allerton ever appeared (as available in 1934),
and prints many of the records in full.
Much of the modern research on Allerton has been carried out by
Newman Hall, presented in a series of periodical articles [NEHGR
124:133; MQ 45:23-24, 47:14-18; Virginia Genealogist 32:83-92,
171-78, 287-96; MD 40:7-10]. More recently Robert S. Wakefield
has prepared the four-generation "genealogy in progress"
published by the General Society of Mayflower Descendants [Isaac
Allerton of the Mayflower... (Plymouth 1990)].
For a different interpretation of the character of Isaac
Allerton, see Michael McGiffert, "Religion and Profit Do Jump
Together: The First American Pilgrim," Reflections 87:15-23 (a
publication of Yale Divinity School)."

"The assertion is made in The TUCKER Genealogy that Rose, the
fourth wife of John NEWTON, was an ALLERTON, of the family of
Isaac ALLERTON of the Mayflower. While there were certainly
close relationships between the ALLERTON family and the NEWTON
family, including the marriage of John NEWTON's oldest son, John
NEWTON, Jr., to Mary ALLERTON, I am aware of no proof that Rose
was an ALLERTON. However, since it's an interesting theory and
an impressive family to tie into, I'll set out a short history
of the ALLERTON family through the year of Rose's birth, about
1629.
Isaac ALLERTON was a tailor from London, who married Mary
NORRIS, or perhaps Mary COLLINS, on November 4, 1611. His sister
Sarah married Degory PRIEST at the same date and place. The
parents of Isaac and Sarah may be Edward ALLERTON and Rose DAVIS
who married at St. Dionis,
Backchurch, London, on February 14, 1579/80. Both Isaac ALLERTON
and PRIEST were freemen, a distinction among the Pilgrims of the
Mayflower that they shared only with the later governor of the
Colony, William BRADFORD. Isaac ALLERTON, his wife Mary, and his
son Bartholomew and daughters Remember and Mary were on the
Mayflower in 1620. There was a sailor on the Mayflower named
John ALLERTON who intended to settle in the new colony, but he
died before the ship made the return voyage. His relationship to
the others is not clear. Mary, Mrs. Isaac ALLERTON, died
February 25, 1621.
About 1626, Isaac married his second wife, Fear BREWSTER,
daughter of Elder William BREWSTER. Fear died at Plymouth on
December 12, 1634. They were the parents of Col. Isaac ALLERTON,
born about 1630, who after his mother's death was raised by his
paternal grandfather. It was this Isaac ALLERTON who lived next
to John NEWTON.
Until the death of Fear in December of 1634, the events of Isaac
ALLERTON's life in America are well documented, and no other
children were born. He left the Bay Colony after a rift
developed between him and the leadership of the Colony, had a
wife named Johanna in 1644, settled in New Havens and traded
with the Dutch of New Amsterdam.
The children of Isaac ALLERTON were:
Bartholomew who was born in Holland about 1612, who came with
his family to Plymouth, where he still was in 1627, but returned
soon after to England, where, according to Bradford, he married
and continued to live.
Remember, a daughter, living in Plymouth in 1627 and not heard
of after.
Mary, born in 1616, married Elder Thomas CUSHMAN of Plymouth.
She died in 1699, the last survivor of the Mayflower pilgrims.
Sarah was another daughter who did not come on the Mayflower but
came later with her aunt, Mrs. CUTHBERTSON, in 1623. She MARRIED
MOSES MAVERICK and had children.
Isaac, born about 1630, who graduated from Harvard in the
seventh graduating class and who settled in Virginia beside the
NEWTONs.
The most promising part of this for finding a line for Rose
appears to be the son Bartholomew who, according to Gov. William
Bradford, married after returning to England. There were fairly
frequent passages across the ocean, considering the
circumstance. The Isaac ALLERTON who under this theory would be
Rose' grandfather (and whose mother's name was Rose) returned to
England at least five times." By Mary Love, McNabb Family.
