Revision as of 11:17, 12 November 2023

Status summary

As of November 21, 2020:

  • Low Priority as no known Y-DNA descendants of Isaac Allerton. See Possible Y-DNA Descendants below. In addition, research on the family of Bartholomew Allerton (who moved to England) is needed.

First Generation

Isaac Allerton was born about 1586, son of Bartolomew and Mary (_____) Allerton of East Bergholt, Suffolk, England.[1] He died at New Haven (now part of Connecticut) between 1 Feb 1658/9 - 12 Feb 1658/9.[2] He was married three times: First at Leiden 4 Nov 1611 [NS] (see Media:NL-LdnRAL_AR_1004_198_007.jpg.jpg for electronic scan of Leiden record. See also typed transcript of record.) to Mary Norris[3] who died at Plymouth on 25 Feb 1620/1.[4] Isaac married second, New Plimouth between 1623 - 1626[5] Fear Brewster.[6] Isaac married third bet. 1635-1644 Joanna Swinnerton[7] (no children).

By his first wife, Isaac had: Bartholomew (c1612), Remember (c1615), Mary (c1617), infant child (bur. 5 Feb 1620), and stillborn son (Dec 1620). By his second wife, Isaac had Sarah (c1626, apparently d.y.) and Isaac (c1628).[8]

Second Generation

Bartholomew "Bartle" Allerton[9] was born in Leiden about 1612.[10] and died in Barnfield, Suffolk, England between 15 Oct 1658 - 19 Feb 1658/9.[11] He is believed to have married twice: fist by 1640 to Margaret (____) who pre-deceased him, and second Sarah Fairfax.[12] Bartholomew had four children (order uncertain, all born after 1640)[13]: Isaac, Mary, Dorothy and John.[14]

(Col.) Isaac Allerton (II) was born in New Plimouth about 1630[15] and died sometime between writing his will (Westmoreland Co., VA 25 Oct 1702) and the will being proved (30 Dec 1702). Isaac was married twice: First prob. in New Haven, CT about 1652 to Elizabeth (_____) and second, in Virginia between 8 Sep 1662 - 30 Jan 1663/4 to Elizabeth Willoughby, widow of both Simon Overzee and George Colclough. By his first wife he had Elizabeth and Isaac. By his second wife he had Willoughby, Frances and Sarah.[16]

Possible Y-DNA descendants

An Isaac Allerton with wife Elizabeth was living in the New Haven, Connecticut area in the latter part of the Seventeenth Century. They had sons John and Jesse. The identity of this Isaac is still unknown, but is likely either Isaac3[1] son of Isaac2 or Isaac3 son of Bartholomew2.

  1. ↑ This Isaac, who would have been the eldest son, was not named in his father's 1702 will. It is generally assumed he was then deceased, and had no surviving children. However, this would leave open the question of who was the Isaac Allerton living in New Haven (where his parents lived before emigrating to Virginia).

DNA Results TBD

Previous testing

Currently, Family Tree DNA does not have an Allerton surname DNA Project, but has eight kits associated with the Allerton surname.

Next Generation Sequence/Whole Genome Sequence testing

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