Paper Trail

For more information see: Wakefield, Robert S. and Margaret S. Stover, Mayflower Families Through Five Generations: vol. 17 Allerton

First Generation

The first known record of Mary Norris was her marriage to Isaac Allerton on 4 Nov 1611 at Leiden. (See Media:NL-LdnRAL_AR_1004_198_007.jpg.jpg for electronic scan of Leiden record. See also typed transcription of this record.) This record stated she was from "Nubere" (presumably Newbury, Berskhire, England). Some records state she was the daughter of Edward Norris, but this was an attempt to connect her to Sir Edward Norreys, MP from Rycote, who had no known children.[1] The family lived in Leiden until they emigrated to the New World. She died at New Plimoth on 25 Feb 1620/1 during the first devastating winter when roughly half of the emigrants died.[2]

Isaac and Mary had five children:[3] Bartholomew, Remember, Mary, an infant who was buried at St. Peters, Leiden on 5 Feb 1620 and a stillborn son born at Plymouth Harbor on 22 Dec 1620.

Second Generation

[1] Remember Allerton[4] was born at Leiden about 1615. She came with her parents aboard the Mayflower. She married Moses Maverick[5] before 6 May 1635 and she died (presumably at Salem, MA) between 1652-1656. Remember and Moses had seven children, all baptized at the First Church of Salem: Rebecca (1639-1659 m. John Hawkes, but only had one son [Moses]), Mary (1640-1655 unm.), Abigail (1644), Elizabeth (1646, d. young), Samuel (1647), Elizabeth (1649) and Remember (1652).

[2] Mary Allerton was born at Leiden about 1616. She came with her parents aboard the Mayflower.

mtDNA Results W5a2a +G10373A +A15942G

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.[1] 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.[2]

According to the W-mtDNA Haplogroup Project This individual falls under the following: W5a2a +G10373A [and] A15924G suggested subclade This subgrouping is comprised of five individuals (including the individual in the Mayflower DNA Project). At least one of these individuals is not a mtDNA descendant of Mary,[3] thus this mtDNA haplogroup assignment by itself cannot be used to identify matrilineal descendants of Mary.


  1. ↑ Due to the fact some mtDNA mutations are directly linked to health issues, Full mtDNA results are not revealed on any FTDNA website. Instead, FTDNA only reveals the HVR (Hyper Variable Region) I & HVR II mtDNA results.
  2. ↑ Haplogroup.org
  3. ↑ One individual lists their Most Distant Known Matrilineal Ancestor (MDKMA) as Freedom KINGSLEY French. Freedom was born about 1630 in England, daughter of John Kingsley and his first wife, Elizabeth _____. While she is not descended from Mary Norris, it appears Freedom's mtDNA ancestry links up with Mary's mtDNA ancestry at some point in time in England.
