Biography

Early Life

BIRTH AND PARENTS
ISAAC ALLERTON was born about 1586,^[1] the son of Bartholomew Allerton and Mary (___) Allerton, who resided in East Bergholt, Suffolk at the time of Isaac's birth.^[2] His estimated date of birth comes from three documents in which he provided his age, as follows: (1) in a deposition in Leiden on 18 Jun 1618, as a tailor, aged about 30; (2) in a deposition dated 26 Sep 1639, he was "of New Plimmouth", merchant, aged about 53 years; and (3) in a declaration dated 23 Oct 1655 in New Netherland, he was aged about 70 years.^[2][3]

It is likely that Isaac had at least two siblings, Sarah Allerton, who married Mayflower passenger Degory Priest, and Mayflower passenger John Allerton, who died the first winter in Plymouth, leaving no issue.^[2]

OCCUPATION
Isaac's father, Bartholomew, was a tailor, as was Isaac, however Isaac, son of the late Bartholomew Allerton of Ipswich, was apprenticed to James Glyn, blacksmith of London, on 21 Jun 1609 for a period of seven years.^[2][4] Anderson states that "although waiting until the age of about twenty-four to enter an apprenticeship was unusual, it was not unheard of."^[5] Isaac did not complete this apprenticeship as he is found in Leiden just two years later.

While he is called a tailor of London in the Leiden records, there is nothing in his later career to show that he followed the occupation. Once in New England, Isaac was known to be a merchant.^[1]

LIFE IN HOLLAND
Isaac Allerton and his sister Sarah were members of John Robinson's congregation in Leiden in 1609. By the time the congregation left Holland, Isaac had become one of its prominent members.^[6]

At the time of his marriage to Mary Norris in Nov 1611, Isaac lived in the Pieterskerkhof, near St. Peter's Church and was later admitted as a citizen of Leiden in 1614.^[7] He may have been related to the Robert Allerton "Scotchman" who also lived in Leiden at the same time,^[8] however proof linking the two men has not been found.

Isaac worked in Leiden as a tailor, where he took on an apprentice, John Hooke,^[7] the 12-year-old son of John and Alice (Thompson) Hooke, by agreement dated 7 Jan 1619, for a term of twelve years.^[9]

Life in New England

Anderson notes that "Isaac Allerton was one of the busiest and most complicated men in early New England," and that records "may be found in virtually every colony on the Atlantic seaboard and in the Caribbean, including Newfoundland, New Netherland, New Sweden, Virginia, Barbadoes and Curaçao."^[1]

PLYMOUTH COLONY (1620-1631)
Isaac came to New England aboard the Mayflower in 1620, along with his wife, their three children and his apprentice, John Hooke.^{[1][10][11][12]} Isaac's was the fifth signature on the Mayflower Compact,^[13] the first governing document of Plymouth Colony. John Hooke did not survive the first winter in Plymouth,^[11] nor did Isaac's wife, Mary (Norris) Allerton, who died in Plymouth on 25 Feb 1620/1.^[1][11][14]

After the death of John Carver in early 1621, William Bradford was chosen the colony's second governor and "Isaac Allerton was chosen to be an assistant unto him who, by renewed election every year, continued sundry years together".^[15] In the 1623 Plymouth land division, "Mr. Isaak Alerton" received seven acres, "on the South side of the brooke to ther baywards."^[1][16] Isaac appears on the Plymouth tax lists dated 25 Mar 1633 and 27 Mar 1634 and on 1633 and 7 Mar 1636/7 lists of freemen in Plymouth Colony.^[1][17] Isaac married second to Fear Brewster, daughter of William Brewster, sometime between 1623 and 1627 in Plymouth.^[1][11] 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.^[16]

It is presumed that about 1628, Mayflower passenger Richard More, then about age 15, came to work, perhaps as an apprentice, under Isaac Allerton.^[18]

In New England, Isaac was known to be a merchant and made frequent trips back to England in the 1620's and 1630's on personal and colony business.^[1] He acted as the colony's business agent to handle the buyout negotiations with London investors that began in 1627, continuing through the early 1630's.^[10] His role as agent was "not without controversy",^[7] and it is said that Allerton may have taken advantage of his position by "engaging in some personal trading deals, and engaging the Pilgrims' joint-stock company in business ventures they had not authorized. After driving the colony deeper into debt with ill-advised business opportunities, he was eventually removed and replaced by Edward Winslow."^[10] Isaac's removal as agent occurred in 1630/31, but he continued trading on his own and remained a resident of Plymouth with his wife and children.^[19]

In Dec 1634, Isaac's second wife, Fear, died in Plymouth in an epidemic of fever. At that time, Isaac conveyed his Plymouth property at Rocky Nook (later called Kingston) to his youngest daughter, Mary, and her husband Thomas Cushman.^[19]

MARBLEHEAD (1632-1635)
In 1632, Isaac and his son-in-law, Moses Maverick, sailed on the White Angel into Marblehead, where they were among the original settlers. They bought fishing boats and built a warehouse and quarters for fishermen and, by 1633, they had eight boats fishing in the harbor.^[19]

By 1635, Isaac had experienced a series of personal and business misfortunes, including the death of his wife. He had also angered both the General Court and local Puritan ministers with his freethinking religious views and associations (including one with Roger Williams) and, in Mar 1635, he was ordered to leave Marblehead by the civil authorities.^[19] On 6 May 1635, the General Court noted that Isaac had given his son-in-law, Moses Maverick, all of his property located in Marblehead "to enjoy to him & his heirs forever."^[1]

Isaac Allerton was a New Netherland settler.

Isaac, having been exiled from Massachusetts Bay, went on to have simultaneous residences in the pioneer Puritan dissident colony of New Haven and in New Amsterdam, the capital of the Dutch colony of New Netherland, where he owned property and became influential.

NEW AMSTERDAM (1636-1646)
Director-General of New Amsterdam, Willem Kieft, granted Isaac "burger privileges" and he was considered a resident of New Amsterdam. Records show that Isaac traded corn there in 1639, sold his bark Hope to New Amsterdam residents in 1642, became a trading partner with Govert Loockermans and bought and sold land in 1643.^[19]

In 1643, Kieft asked Isaac to join a "group of Eight Men", to propose measures to improve law-and-order in the colony and to organize assistance to protect New Amsterdam from another Indian attack. Isaac was sent to New Haven to ask for help defending the colony, however New Haven refused to assist the Dutch. Kieft's directorship had become increasingly dictatorial, causing most of the group of eight to rebel and they petitioned the Dutch West India Company to recall Kieft as Director-General.^[19] Isaac was the second signer of the 28 Oct 1644 Remonstrance of the Eight Men of Manahats, the first demand for self-government by Dutch colonists anywhere in the world.^[20]

On 27 Oct 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.^[1] He owned property in New Amsterdam, including a warehouse,^[7] which he built in 1646 on a 500-foot strip of waterfront property on the East River. The property was used as a meeting house for New Amsterdam traders and included a dock for a ferry to Brooklyn.^[19]

NEW SWEDEN (1644-1656)
Isaac traded heavily in New Sweden between 1644-1656, particularly in tobacco, often using credit instead of currency. He also acted as a courier, carrying passengers, documents and letters of credit between Dutch, English and Swedish colonies.^[19]

NEW HAVEN (1635-1659)
In New Haven Colony, before 1644, Isaac remarried to Joanna Swinnerton,^[10] possibly the widow of Job Swinnerton who was admitted to Salem in 1637^[19] (see her profile for discussion of her origins).

On 17 Feb 1644/5, "Mr. Allerton coming from New Haven in a ketch, with his wife and diverse other persons, were taken in a great storm at northeast with much snow, and cast away at Scituate, but the persons all saved".^[21]

In 1646, Isaac became a permanent resident of New Haven, where he would spend the remainder of his life.^[19] In the New Haven Book of Alienations, in an entry from 1646, "Isaack Allerton" held four parcels of land "bought of Lawr[ence] Ward": "6 acres ½ upland in the first division"; "1 acre ¼ & 8 rods in the neck"; "2 acres ½ of meadow"; and "10 acres in the 2d division".^[21] On 10 Mar 1646/7, Isaac Allerton and his wife "Sister Allerton" were assigned pews in the New Haven meeting house, in the cross seats at the end on their respective sides of the meetinghouse.^[22]

Marriages and Children

FIRST MARRIAGE TO MARY NORRIS
Isaac Allerton of London married first in Leiden on 4 Nov 1611, banns having been published on 8, 15 and 22 Oct 1611, to Mary Norris.^[23] They apparently had a double marriage, with Isaac's sister, Sarah (Allerton) Vincent marrying Degory Priest on that same day, before the same officials,^[24] and their banns published on the same days.^[23]

Isaac Allerton, unmarried man, from London, in England, accompanied by Edward Southworth, Richard Masterson and Randall Thickins, his acquaintances, with Mary Norris, single woman, from Newbury, in England, accompanied by Anne Fuller and Dille [Priscilla?] Carpenter, her acquaintances. They were married before William Cornelison Tybault and Jacob Paedts, sheriffs, this 4th November, 1611.^[23][24]

Marriage of Ysaack Allerton and Marie Norris, 4 Nov 1611 in Leiden [25]

THE CHILDREN OF ISAAC AND MARY:^[1][7]

1. Bartholomew, born ca. 1613 in Leiden, died 1658 in England, Mayflower passenger, returned to Suffolk, England as an adult and became a minister, married in England 1st to Margaret ____, 2nd to Sarah Fairfax; he fathered at least 4 children;
2. Remember, born ca. 1615 in Leiden, Mayflower passenger, died before 22 Oct 1656 in Marblehead; married Moses Maverick and they had 7 children;
3. Mary, born ca. 1617 in Leiden, Mayflower passenger, died 28 Nov 1699, married Thomas Cushman and they had 8 children. NOTE: Mary was the last of the Mayflower passengers to die;
4. A child was buried at St. Pancras/Pieterskerk, Leiden, 5 Feb 1620;
5. A son, stillborn aboard the Mayflower on 22 Dec 1620 in Plymouth Harbor.

SECOND MARRIAGE TO FEAR BREWSTER
Mary Allerton died in Plymouth on 25 Feb 1620/1 and Isaac married second to Mayflower passenger Fear Brewster, daughter of William Brewster, sometime between 1623 and 1627 in Plymouth.^[1] Their marriage predates Plymouth's marriage records, but can be derived from the fact that William Bradford reported that Allerton "married again with the daughter of Mr. Brewster."^[10]

THE CHILDREN OF ISAAC AND FEAR:^[1][7]

1. Sarah, born ca. 1626, listed with family on 1627 cattle division, no further record;
2. Isaac Jr., born ca. 1630, died 1702 in Virginia, married 1st to Elizabeth ____, possible daughter of Joanna Swinnerton, and they had 2 children; married 2nd to Elizabeth (Willoughby) Overzee Colclough, they had 3 children.

Fear (Brewster) Allerton died before 12 Dec 1634^[1] when John Winthrop noted in a letter that she had recently died of "pestilent fever" at Plymouth.^[26]

THIRD MARRIAGE TO JOANNA SWINNERTON
By 1644, Isaac Allerton had married his third wife, Joanna Swinnerton, who, according to Anderson, was probably the "Mrs. Swinnerton" who received a grant of land at New Haven on 17 Mar 1640/1.^[1] A New Haven deed from Isaac's granddaughter Elizabeth (Allerton) Eyre (daughter of Isaac Alerton Jr.), dated 23 Dec 1703, states that Elizabeth was the "granddaughter and heir-at-law to Joanna Swinerton after Joanna Alderton late of New Haven deceased."^[27] The couple had no children.

Death and Probate

Isaac Allerton was alive on 1 Feb 1658/9, when he appeared in court in New Haven to dispute a debt,^[28] and was deceased by 12 Feb 1658/9, when the inventory of his estate was taken.^[1] He was buried in the old Burying Ground at New Haven, however no monument or gravestone has been found.^[19]

Isaac's inventory^[29] was presented to the court on 5 Apr 1659 at New Haven, at which time the court was informed of a written will in the possession of Isaac's son, Isaac [Jr.]. The court ordered the instrument be delivered to the court when it next convened, on 5 Jul 1659 and, on that date, Isaac Allerton Jr. presented the document but stated that he was not willing to accept responsibility for administering the estate. The court requested documents of accounts, etc. to be brought before them in October.^[30] The will of "Isaac Allerton, late of Newhaven, deceased" was proved before the Court of Magistrates on 19 Oct 1659,^[1][29] this time with statements attached from those who witnessed its signing^[30] and records of accounts. The "will" document consisted mostly of a list of debts due him, but it also named his son Isaac and his wife as trustees and beneficiaries of his estate.^[31]

"In spite of his reputation as one of New England's wealthiest merchants, Allerton died insolvent with debts to creditors located in many of the ports in which he traded. Allerton's son purchased his father's New Haven home from his creditors and deeded it to his stepmother, Joanna, in 1660."^[19]
