1. ↑ various depositions narrow his birth between Mar 1576-Sep 1576.
2. ↑ The European Continent switched over to the (new) Gregorian Calendar in 1582. As such, this date would be ten days later than the date used in England (19 Feb 1624/5).
3. ↑ Several sources call him the youngest son of Pastor John Robinson. It is currently unknown whether this is factual and the further history of Jacob is still uncertain, with some stating he died young.
4. ↑ She was not Mary Faunce. See WikiTree note.
5. ↑ Some sources state he also had an infant son Thomas, born/died in 1656, but the chronology makes it unlikely.

Next Generation Sequence/Whole Genome Sequence testing

NGS/WGS testing of Allerton descendants would further refine the haplogroup assignment for this family.
