Isaac Allerton was a Mayflower passenger.
�He may have been with the Pilgrims in Amsterdam about 1610, and earlier as a merchant in Holland, but most likely he joined the Robinson church with others from London. It is known he was of London before 1609, and thet he was admitted as burgess of Leyden, Holland, in 1614. �His son Bartholomew returned to ENG, married and became a preacher. No doubt much of his education was obtained through the teaching of William Brewster, who also later on, brought up and prepared his brother Isaac, Jr., for Harvard. He appeared to have been a merchant tailor. His name is first recorded in Leyden with that of a widowed sister Sarah (Allerton) Vincent, also of London, who married Degory Priest Nov. 4, 1611. His own marriage to Mary Norris took place at the same time. The Allerton family is old and honorable in ENG, a mixture of Saxon and Danish. There is a fine coat of arms in the Heraldic College at London. "Allerton" is the name of a parish in north Yorkshire. �While in Leyden, Isaac Allerton seems to have carried on his business of tailor. When admitted to citizenship in 1614, he was guaranteed by Roger Wilson and Henry Wood, and in 1615 "guaranteed" his brother-in-law Priest. ... �Like most of the Mayflower group born in the sixteenth century, Allerton was an ambitious man striving to succeed in a business way, and his associates had a profound respect for his judgment. ... Among several outstanding characters associated with the Mayflower Planters, Isaac Allerton holds a very unique position. His vision was somewhat broader than any of the others, especially in the matters of commerce, and his immediate contemporaries were quick to take advantage of his exceptional abilitie �He was one of the mainstays in Holland, and from the beginning in Plymouth served almost continuously until 1633-4 as assistant to the Governor. AFter the death of Robert Cushman, the Plymouth agent in London, in 1625, Allerton was chosen to take his place. He made several trips between ENG and America which brought him very little except unfriendly criticism, yet the supplies he brought over during the period of adjustment with the Merchant Adventurers saved much distress,although Bradford claimed they were "on his owne perticuler." ... �Allerton was the only Mayflower Planter to become a resident of NY." 154 ---------------------------------------------------------------- "A Leiden separatist and 1620 Mayflower passenger, Allerton was second in authority only to Bradford in the early years of the colony. However, Bradford felt that Allerton had abused the trust the colonists placed on him, and Allerton left the colony in the 1630s for other parts. A most enterprising man, he engaged in commercial pursuits at Marblehead and in ME and later resided at New Amsterdam. "Support came from a group of businessmen called "Adventurers," who ventured capital into this particular New World settlement in the hope of great profits."155 ----------------------------------------------------------------- �Isaac Allerton served as Assistant Governor of Plymouth Colony in 1621and 1634, became an �undertaker� of the colony's debt in 1627, and made five voyages to ENG while serving as an agent for the colony. He had a trading post at Machias, ME in 1632-33, and a fish station at Marblehead in 1635."135
Their children include: 10042i. Sarah Allerton (bef 23 May 1627-bef 1651) 10043ii. Isaac Allerton (ca 1630-1702) When Allerton's wife Fear died at Plymouth about 1634, and with the general ire of the Colony against him, he had little reason to stay. He moved to the New Haven Colony, and by 1644 had remarried to his third wife, Joanna Swinnerton. Isaac Allerton remained an active trader, and did regular business with the Dutch at New Netherland in modern-day NY. Records of his trading can be found in numerous other colonies as well, includingVA and Barbados.
