"Isaac Allerton graduated from Harvard College in 1650, Being in the seve nth class that graduated from that institution. He accompanied his father , subsequently, on his voyages between Plymouth, New Haven, New Amsterda m and Virginia, and was associated with him in the coasting business. Af ter his fathers death in 1959, he purchased from the creditors of his est ate, the dwelling-house, orchard and barn, with two acres of meadow, an d in the New Haven Records we find a deed recorded dated October 4, 1660 , by which he conveys to his 'Mother-in-law, Mrs. Johanna Allerton, the h ouse that she now dwells in at New Haven, with all the furniture in it an d the lands and appurtenances belonging to it, to hold enjoy during the t erm of her life, and afterward to return into the possession of hes daugh ter Elizabeth Allerton and her heirs, and in case of her dyeing without i ssue, then to return to him the first donor, and his heirs and executor s without intermission.' To this deed, after it was recorded, was add ed on the margin of the book the following 'true record' of postcript, 'T his deed, though never witnessed when granted, I do hereby confirm to al l intents and purposed, as if it had been authentically witnessed, and s o sign and seal the same in the presence of John Salmon, March 10 , William Corfield, 1682- 3 Isaac Allerton.' Isaac married as early a s 1652 a wife whose name was Elizabeth--- but her maiden name or the exac t place of their marriage is unknown. He resided in New Haven, Conn., an d had three children born there. His wife probablydid about 1660. H e bought land as early as 1655 at Wicomico, Northumberland County, Virgin ia, to which place he probably reomved after the death of his wife, and m arried there his second wife, about 1663, Elizabeth Willoughby, daughte r of Captain Thomas Willoughby. Isaac Allerton was her third husband, sh e being the widow of Simon Overzee and Col George Colelough. The Virg inia Magazine of History and Biography says of him (Vol. page 199), 'Colo nel Isaac Allerton of Westmoreland County, Virginia, was son of Isaac All erton, one of the principal emigrants in the Mayflower. He was born at P lymouth, Mass., in 1630. Graduated at Harvard Collage in 1650, and soon c ame to Virginia and settled in Northumberland County (then including West moreland County.)' Colonel Allerton was sworn a Justice of Northumberlan d County, 22 April, 1663; was a member of the 'Committee of the Associati on of Northumberland, Westmoreland and Safford Counties,' 1 November 166 7 (Northumberland Records, also Henning Vol. 2, page 257).

Member o f the House of Burgesses February 1676-7. (Westmoreland Records) Virg inia Carolorum, by neill, page 347, recites the fact that 'in early summe r, 1675, the 'Doegs,' and Indian tribe of the Potomac, stole from the set tlers and afterward killed some of them'---and then says:---'A joint move ment of Virginians and Marylanders was arranged to go against them. Th e Virginians were under command of Colonel John Washinton, Colonel Georg e Mason and Major Isaac Allerton.' Paged 386-387 say:---'In 1679, for th e defese of the County from incursions of the savages it was enacted tha t a garrison-house or a store-house be erected at the head of the four pr incipal rivers and Major Isaac Allerton, grandson of Elder William Brewst er of Plymouth, St Leger Codd and Colonel George Mason were designated t o superintend the building of a house sixty feet long, twenty-two feet br oad and a magazine ten feet square, at Neapsico, near Occognar, on the Po tomac River.' He was appointed a member of the Council in 1683. (Salisbu ry Extracts.) In a Letter dated June 10, 1691, Governor Nicholson rep orts to the English Government that Richard Lee, Isaac Allerton and Joh n Armistead, out of scruple of Conscience, refused to take the oath and w ere left out of the Council.
