Mayflower Families through 5 Generations, XVII, Isaac Allerton - Isaac Allerton & his 1st wife came on the "Mayflower." Bradford said: "Mr. Allerton his wife died with the first, and his servant John Hooke. His son Bartle is married in England but I know how many children he hath. His daughter Remember is married at Salem and hath 3 or 4 children living. And his daughter Mary is married here and hath 4 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." /p/ In 1621 Isaac Allerton was chosen as an Assistant and continued in that position for a number of years. In 1626 I.A. went to England to negotiate a new agreement with the Adventurers. He returned to Plymouth in 1627. /p/ In the 1623 division of land I.A. received 7 acres. In the 1627 division of cattle he is listed with wife Fear and children Bartholomew, Remember, Mary and Sarah. /p/ Under the year 1631 Bradford wrote "Mr. A. doth in a sort wholly desert them [the people of Plymouth Cology] having brought them into the briars, he leaves them to get out as they can ... and sets up a trading house beyond Penobscot to cut off trade from there also." /p/ On 5/6/1635 it was recorded in the MA Bay Colony Records that Mr. "Ollerton: had given to Moses Maverick, his son-in-law, all his houses, buildings and stages at Marblehead. /p/ On 9/26/1639 I.A. desposed at Boston calling himself of New Plimouth aged about 53 years. /p/ On 5/19/1643 Albert Cuyn conveyed a house and two lots at New Amsterdam to Isaac Allerton and Gover Loockerman and on 6/2/1643 A. and Loockerman received a grant of land in New Amsterdam from the West Indian Company of Amsterdam, Holland. /p/ Under date of 2/17/1644-5 Gov. Winthrop recorded "Mr. A. coming from New Haven in a ketch, with his wife and divers other persons, were taken in a great storm at northeast with much snow, and cast away at Scituate, but the persons all saved." /p/ I.A. was called "of Newhaven Merchant" in a 10/13/1646 letter of attorney. /p/ On 10/27/1646 Isacke Allerton of New Amsterdam in the province of New netherlands, merchant, confirmed to son-in-law Thomas Cushman of New Plymouth a debt of one hundred pounds owed to Isaac by John Coombe. /p/ The inventory of Isaac Allerton, late of Newhaven, take 2/12/1658-9 was presented in the New Haven court 4/5/1659, his son Isaac being away at the time. Isaac produced his father's will on 7/5/1659 and was appointed to settle the estate, but he relinquished the trust. The will is little more than memoranda of debts due him and owed by him, but names his wife and son I.A. as trustees and they were to receive "what is overpluss." It mentions "brother Breuster." /p/ On 10/4/1660 I. A. (the son) granted to his mother-in-law Mrs. Johanna Allerton the house in New Haven where she now dwells during her life and then to his daughter Elizabeth Allerton and her heirs. The deed was not witnessed, so on 3/10/1682-3 I.A. confirmed the deed.

Gen. Dictionary of NE: ISAAC ALLERTON, one of the pilgr. in the Mayflower, at Plymouth, 1620, at one time the richest of the Co. was an Assist. 1621, the sole officer for three yrs. under the Gov. He brot w Mary, three ch Bartholomew, Remember, and Mary. His w d 25 Feb after land and he m 1626, Fear, d of Elder William Brewster, by wh he had Isaac, H. C. 1650; and prob. no more. This w. d. 1633, and when he liv. at New Haven, 1646, he had third w. Joanna, wh. is honor. after d. of her h. as having giv. shelter to the regicides, Goffe and Whalley, tho. with the usual felicity of tradit. the merit was ascrib. to her gr. d (then a small ch.) and liv. to 1684. As agent for the Co. he went to Eng. three or four times, but gave not satisfact. in the latter visit; and on his private busin3ess was oblig. to go, more than once, of all wh. large statem. is seen in the Hist. of Bradford. In 1643, the Dutch, whith wh. he had passed some yrs. having lost the confid. of his early friends bef. 1631, would employ him, with Underhill, to raise form the Eng. a force for this protect. against the Ind. but soon after he was sett. at New Haven, and there d. 1659, insolv. Largely he had speculat. at the Eastward and soon after dismiss. from the Plymouth agency, had a trading-house at Machias, destroy. 1633 by the French, met various disasters by shipwrecks of his fishing vessels, in prosecution of wh. business he sometime was engaged at Marblehead, and join. Salem ch. 1647; but seems almost always unlucky. His eldest s. Bartholomew m. and liv. in Eng. as Bradford first taught us; Remember m. Moses Maverick of Salem; and Mary m. Elder Thomas Cushman and d. 1699, the last surv. of the blessed band of the first ship, for wh. we may feel suffic. esteem without accept. the report of her being "over 90 yrs. old." Sarah was the name often ascrib. to Maverick's w. and Young's Chronicles of the Pilgrims, Russell's Guide to Plymouth, the accos. of Judge Davis, in his Ed. of Morton's Memor. of Dr. Bacon in 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. VII. 243, and of Cushman in Geneal. Reg. VIII. 265-70, are all subject to no little correction since the contempo. Hist. of Bradford has been brot. to light. ISAAC, New Haven, s. of the preced. and the only ch. nam. in the will of his f. tho. as the testator had not a shilling to give, the omiss. of other ch. need not be regret. For his f's wid. Isaac purchas. the portion of the domicil that the law would not give, and bestow. it on her for life, remain to his eldest d. Eliz. b. 27 Sept. 1653. His only other ch. was Isaac, b. 11 June 1655, wh. d. prob. bef. his f. and without issue. The f. is thot to have rem. shortly after 1660, and Hutch. in his Hist. II. 461 speaks, as if there were male off-spring in Maryland, at his day. The w's name is not heard of, but the d. m. 23 Dec. 1675, Benjamin Starr, and next 22 July 1679, Simon Eyre the third.

NEHGR LXXXIX 7/35 pg 280: Reports by soldiers in the Pequot War at Quinnypiac seem to have directed Theophilus Eaton and Rev. John Davenport in 1638 to settle at New Haven. Isaac Allerton followed them in 1646.
