First Generation

The first known record of Mary was her marriage to Isaac Allerton on 4 Nov 1611 at Leiden. This record stated she was from Newbury (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 Plimouth on 25 Feb 1620/1 during the first devastating winter when roughly half of the emigrants died.[2]

mtDNA Results W5a2

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] 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.

  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.
