Remember Allerton was born and christened at Leiden about 1615, the daughter of Isaac Allerton and Mary (Norris) Allerton. ^[1][2]

In 1620, she accompanied her parents and siblings Bartholomew and Mary on the Mayflower.^[3][4]

In the 1627 cattle division, "The second lot fel to Mr Isaac Allerton & his Companie ioyned to him his wife ffeare Allerton. To this lot fell the Greate Black cow came in the Ann to which they must keepe the lesser of the two steers, and two shee goats." Isaac's children Bartholomew, Remember, Mary, and Sarah, were part of this group.^[5]

William Bradford's 1650/1 list of increasings noted that "... remember is maried at salem & hath .3. or .4 children living."^[4]

Before 6 May 1635, Remember Allerton married Moses Maverick, son of Reverend John Maverick and his wife Mary (Gye) Maverick,^[1] either in Plymouth Colony, Salem or Marblehead, Massachusetts Bay Colony. On that day it was noted: "Mr Ollerton hath giuen to Moses Maûacke, his soñe in lawe, all his howses, buildings, & stages, that hee hath att Marble Head, to enioy to him & his heires for euer." ^[6][7] After Remember's death, Moses married 22 Oct 1656 Eunice (Cole) Roberts.

Remember's exact date of death is unknown but she died sometime after 12 Sep 1652, the date of her last child's baptism, and before 22 Oct 1656, the date her husband remarried.^[2][8]

Research Notes

DNA

mtDNA Results W5a2^[9]

The Mayflower DNA Project lists one matrilineal (all female line) descendant of Mary. It is presumed this individual has taken the full mtDNA test, which tests every single base pair of the mitochondrial DNA.^[10] FTDNA has assigned this individual to the W5a2 mtDNA haplogroup. Today this rare lineage is present at trace frequencies in the populations of Norway, Scotland, Ireland, and Germany.^[11] Given the locations this haplogroup is found, it is possible Mary's family may have lived near Scrooby and participated in the early Separatist Church at Scrooby Manor.
