Please improve this article by introducing more precise citations where appropriate. (July 2009) Isaac Allerton Birth name Isaac Allerton Born c. 1586 in St. Andrews under Shaft, London Died 1 April 1659 in New Haven, Connecticut Isaac Allerton (c. 1585 or 1586 - 1659) was one of the original Pilgrim fathers who came on the Mayflower to settle the Plymouth Colony in 1620. Allerton is an ancestor to Presidents of the United States Zachary Taylor and Franklin D. Roosevelt. He is believed to have been born in London, England, about 1585 or 1586 and was raised to become a tailor. A religious non-conformist, he apparently followed the Scrooby exiles to Leiden, Holland as a young man. There he married his first wife, Mary Norris (b. 1590), in November 1611. The couple had three children; Bartholomew, Remember and Mary. Accompanying Isaac and Mary on the Mayflower were their three children and a servant boy named John Hooke, who was 14. Allerton's wife and John Hooke died aboard the Mayflower while it was still achored in Plymouth Harbor during the first winter, as noted in the death lists. Both were buried in Cole's Hill. Mary died from the effects of childbirth, after giving birth to a stillborn son on February 25, 1621. Because of this birth, Mary was the first woman to give birth in the Colonies. Allerton remarried to Fear Brewster, the daughter of William Brewster in 1626. With her he had another son naming him Isaac Allerton Jr. Allerton quickly rose to prominence among the Pilgrim leaders, serving as William Bradford's assistant governor during the early years of the colony. After the adoption of a more formalized governmental structure in 1624, he served again as one of five assistant governors. In 1627, he became one of the eight "undertakers" of the colony's debt and made several voyages to London to negotiate with the colony's creditors.[citation needed] [edit] Allerton the Businessman While serving as the colony's business agent, Allerton began several business ventures of his own, relying on the colony's credit for collateral. These ventures failed, thus leaving his colleagues back in Plymouth saddled with a greatly increased debt. Also, Allerton was asked to bring over trade goods to sell to the natives, however, Allerton brought over retail goods to sell to the colonists and fishermen who came over every year. Later on Allerton did not mark which goods were his and which belonged to the colony. When the goods were unloaded, Allerton took the most expensive items leaving the Plymouth colonists with the cheaper goods. In 1629 Allerton brought Thomas Morton back to New England, and allowed him to live in his house; this got the Plymouth colonists very upset. This rendered Allerton permanently persona non grata in Plymouth. Bradford wrote: "Mr. Allerton played his own game and ran a course not only to the great wrong and determent of the Plantation... but abused them in England also in prejudice against the Plantation," and later on he wrote "Concerning Mr. Allerton's accounts. They were so large and intricate as they could not well understand them, much less examine and correct them without a great deal of time and help and his own presence, which was hard to get," and also "he screwed up his poor father in law's account". Settling in Marblehead, Massachusetts, Allerton established a profitable fishing business. Fear Brewster died in 1634, and Allerton married Joanna Swinnerton sometime between 1634 and 1644. He was soon commanded by the Massachusetts authorities to leave the colony. He relocated to New Amsterdam in 1643, where he was a member of the Council of eight men. Two years later, he moved again to the new English settlement at New Haven, Connecticut, where he continued his activities as a merchant. Allerton died in February 1659 in New Haven and was buried under the town common. Although his estate, when inventoried, appeared to be large, he was in fact found to have died insolvent.[citation needed] His daughter, Mary, was the last survivor of the Mayflower company.[citation needed] [edit] See also ▪ List of passengers on the Mayflower [edit] External links ▪ Isaac Allerton at MayflowerHistory.com ▪ Last Will and Testament of Isaac Allerton at The Plymouth Colony Archive Project Categories: 1580s births | 1659 deaths | Mayflower passengers article discussion edit this page history Try Beta Log in / create account navigation ▪ Main page ▪ Contents ▪ Featured content ▪ Current events ▪ Random article search interaction ▪ About Wikipedia ▪ Community portal ▪ Recent changes ▪ Contact Wikipedia ▪ Donate to Wikipedia ▪ Help toolbox ▪ What links here ▪ Related changes ▪ Upload file ▪ Special pages ▪ Printable version ▪ Permanent link ▪ Cite this page languages ▪ Deutsch ▪ This page was last modified on 8 October 2009 at 04:07.
