S U W S ALLERTON , Of Chicago , , in g “ ” O f this revised edition the Allerton Family, does not intend to detract from the great credit to be given Mr . Walter S. Allerton for 1 8 8 8 his publication of , but simply to add facts which have been found since that time , and to correct errors which almost invariably occur in Genealogies through incorrect family records thought to be r true when published , but afterward found othe wise . 1 8 8 8 . S. In the preface to the edition Of Mr Walter Allerton says , in part : o f to Pride ancestry is common all ages and all peoples , and it is an entirely proper and j ustifiable sentiment . We know that man , like th e ff other animals , possesses power to transmit to his o spring the mental and physical characteristics that have been most prominent in f himself . Students o social science tell us that the children Of crim in als are apt to prove criminals themselves , and other things being Wh o equal , the man can trace his descent through a dozen generations o f honest men is for that very reason more likely to prove himself an honest man . The history o f the Allerton family is a strong proof o f the endur ing quality Of family traits and characteristics , both physical and m o f mental , for we find in embers two branches , that have been entirely separated for two centuries , the same physical appearance and the same - mental peculiarities . We find in a maj ority of the family to day many h resemblances in personal appearance to t eir common ancestor , and we find still more prominent the same peculiarities o f mind and dis 6 THE ALLERTON F A M ILY. position . We are proud to recognize the same spirit Of honesty and independence that led him to cas t in his lot with the adventurers o f o f New Plymouth , and the same broadness Of mind and toleration the Opinions o f others that brought him into conflict with the narrow e o f spirit o f puritani sm . W claim a share his courage and his enter prise , and we admit that we have also inherited somewhat of his quick f temper and o his wandering disposition and unsettled spirit . The Allertons have ever been wanderers ; they can point to no one place o f an as the home their family , the same restless spirit that led their ce s t o rs up and down upon the earth has appeared to be always with them . It is only in a few rare cases that we find the son continuing to dwell where his father dwelt before him ; and this fact , while aff ording another proof o f the possession o f common traits o f char acter, has rendered it difficult to collect a complete genealogical record o f the family . The author began the work o f collecting material f o r a family history some ten years since , and pursued it in such time as could be an spared from the practice of his profession , but he soon found that other had been f o r a long time at work in the same fi eld . The late A Y Mead llerton Of Newark , Wayne County , New ork , after working for many years at this task , left at his death a large and valuable ’ manuscript , which was placed in the author s hands by his widow , and f o r from which many details this volume were Obtained , especially in o f regard to the fourth , fifth and sixth generations the Rhode Island Y . h o w and New ork branches Mead Allerton had not been able , ever , to collect much information about the New Jersey branch , and f to obtain this has been the most difficult part o the work . The name o f Allerton is o n e that is comparatively common in some U parts of England , and there are several families now in the nited States who are in no way related to us , being emigrants from England o r —a A t themselves descendants of such , list Of these ller ons will be found at the end of the genealogical record . The beauty of the name has also caused it to be frequently used by novelists and other writers , THE A LLERTON F A M I LY. 7 and it has also been occasionally assumed by persons not belonging o f to the family , some Of whom have not been a character calculated l to reflect credit on any fami y . Where ne arly every o n e to whom th e author has applied for in r fo mation has gladly responded , it may seem unfair to mention any in u partic lar, but while the author takes this opportunity to thank all o f who have in any manner assisted him , he feel s that the members the family generally ought to know the names of those who have ren dered particular service . Besides Mead Allerton to whom the greatest f o r i credit is due many years Of patient and painstak ng research , the author has received valuable assistance from the following persons O . G . Mrs . Jane Allerton , of Salem , hio M . Y . James Allerton , Of Port Jervis , New ork O H. Y . rville Allerton , of Newark , New ork E . f . o O O Mrs Clara Delap , snaburgh , hio , Charles B .

  • Girls on the Mayflower
    Girls on the Mayflower http://members.aol.com/calebj/girls.html (out of circulation; see: https://www.prettytough.com/girls-on-the-mayflower/ http://mayflowerhistory.com/girls https://itchyfish.com/oceanus-hopkins-the-child-born-aboard-the-mayflower/ ) While much attention is focused on the men who came on the Mayflower, few people realize and take note that there were eleven girls on board, ranging in ages from less than a year old up to about sixteen or seventeen. William Bradford wrote that one of the Pilgrim's primary concerns was that the "weak bodies" of the women and girls would not be able to handle such a long voyage at sea, and the harsh life involved in establishing a new colony. For this reason, many girls were left behind, to be sent for later after the Colony had been established. Some of the daughters left behind include Fear Brewster (age 14), Mary Warren (10), Anna Warren (8), Sarah Warren (6), Elizabeth Warren (4), Abigail Warren (2), Jane Cooke (8), Hester Cooke (1), Mary Priest (7), Sarah Priest (5), and Elizabeth and Margaret Rogers. As it would turn out however, the girls had the strongest bodies of them all. No girls died on the Mayflower's voyage, but one man and one boy did. And the terrible first winter, twenty-five men (50%) and eight boys (36%) got sick and died, compared to only two girls (16%). So who were these girls? One of them was under the age of one, named Humility Cooper. Her father had died, and her mother was unable to support her; so she was sent with her aunt and uncle on the Mayflower.

  • William Bradford's Life and Influence Have Been Chronicled by Many. As the Co-Author of Mourt's Relation, the Author of of Plymo
    William Bradford's life and influence have been chronicled by many. As the co-author of Mourt's Relation, the author of Of Plymouth Plantation, and the long-term governor of Plymouth Colony, his documented activities are vast in scope. The success of the Plymouth Colony is largely due to his remarkable ability to manage men and affairs. The information presented here will not attempt to recreate all of his activities. Instead, we will present: a portion of the biography of William Bradford written by Cotton Mather and originally published in 1702, a further reading list, selected texts which may not be usually found in other publications, and information about items related to William Bradford which may be found in Pilgrim Hall Museum. Cotton Mather's Life of William Bradford (originally published 1702) "Among those devout people was our William Bradford, who was born Anno 1588 in an obscure village called Ansterfield... he had a comfortable inheritance left him of his honest parents, who died while he was yet a child, and cast him on the education, first of his grand parents, and then of his uncles, who devoted him, like his ancestors, unto the affairs of husbandry. Soon a long sickness kept him, as he would afterwards thankfully say, from the vanities of youth, and made him the fitter for what he was afterwards to undergo. When he was about a dozen years old, the reading of the Scripture began to cause great impressions upon him; and those impressions were much assisted and improved, when he came to enjoy Mr.

  • Notes on Cole's Hill
    NOTES ON COLE’S HILL by Edward R. Belcher Pilgrim Society Note, Series One, Number One, 1954 The designation of Cole‟s Hill as a registered National Historic Landmark by the National Park Service, Department of the Interior, was announced at the Annual Meeting of the Pilgrim Society on December 21, 1961. An official plaque will be placed on Cole‟s Hill. The formal application for this designation, made by the Society, reads in part: "... Fully conscious of the high responsibility to the Nation that goes with the ownership and care of a property classified as ... worthy of Registered National Historic Landmark status ... we agree to preserve... to the best of our ability, the historical integrity of this important part of our national cultural heritage ..." A tablet mounted on the granite post at the top of the steps on Cole‟s Hill bears this inscription: "In memory of James Cole Born London England 1600 Died Plymouth Mass 1692 First settler of Coles Hill 1633 A soldier in Pequot Indian War 1637 This tablet erected by his descendants1917" Cole‟s Hill, rising from the shore near the center of town and overlooking the Rock and the harbor, has occupied a prominent place in the affairs of the community. Here were buried the bodies of those who died during the first years of the settlement. From it could be watched the arrivals and departures of the many fishing and trading boats and the ships that came from time to time. In times of emergency, the Hill was fortified for the protection of the town.

  • Children on the Mayflower
    PILGRIM HALL MUSEUM America’s Oldest Continuous Museum – Located in Historic Plymouth Massachusetts www.pilgrimhallmuseum.org CHILDREN ON THE MAYFLOWER How many children were on the Mayflower? This seems like an easy question but it is hard to answer! Let’s say we wanted to count every passenger on the ship who was 18 years of age or younger. To figure out how old a person was in 1620, when the Mayflower voyage took place, you would need to know their date of birth. In some cases, though, there just isn’t enough information! On this list, we’ve included passengers who were probably or possibly age 18 or less. Some children were traveling with their families. Others came over as servants or apprentices. Still others were wards, or children in the care of guardians. There are 35 young people on the list. Some of them may have been very close to adulthood, like the servant Dorothy (last name unknown), who was married in the early years of Plymouth Colony. The list also includes Will Butten. He was a youth who died during the voyage and never arrived to see land. This list includes very young children and even some babies! Oceanus Hopkins was born during the Mayflower’s voyage across the Atlantic. The baby was given his unusual name as a result. Another boy, Peregrine White, was born aboard the ship while it was anchored at Cape Cod harbor - his name means traveler or “pilgrim.” A good source for more information on Mayflower passengers is Caleb Johnson’s http://mayflowerhistory.com/mayflower- passenger-list.

  • RELIGIOUS CONTROVERSIES in PLYMOUTH COLONY by Richard Howland Maxwell Pilgrim Society Note, Series Two, June 1996
    RELIGIOUS CONTROVERSIES IN PLYMOUTH COLONY by Richard Howland Maxwell Pilgrim Society Note, Series Two, June 1996 Plymouth Colony was born out of a religious controversy and was not itself immune to such controversies. The purpose of this lecture is to consider some of those controversies in order that we may better understand the Pilgrims, their attitudes, and their relationships with some other individuals and groups. We will start with some background concerns central to the identity of the Plymouth group, then move on to consider the relationships the Pilgrims had with some of their clergy, and focus finally on two groups who were not welcome in Plymouth or any other English colony. I wish to begin with two pairs of terms and concepts about which we seem often to find confusion. The first pair is Pilgrims and Puritans - or more accurately, Separatists and other Puritans. Some of you have heard me expound on this theme before, and it is not my intention to repeat that presentation. To understand the Pilgrims, however, we need to understand the religious and cultural background from which they came. We need also, I think, to understand something about their neighbors to the north, who shared their background but differed with them in some important ways. That shared background is the Puritan movement within the Church of England. The most succinct description of Puritanism that I have read comes from Bradford Smith’s biography titled Bradford of Plymouth. Smith wrote: Puritanism in England was essentially a movement within the established church for the purifying of that church - for ministers godly and able to teach, for a simplifying of ritual, for a return to the virtues of primitive Christianity.

  • CHILDREN on the MAYFLOWER by Ruth Godfrey Donovan
    CHILDREN ON THE MAYFLOWER by Ruth Godfrey Donovan The "Mayflower" sailed from Plymouth, England, September 6, 1620, with 102 people aboard. Among the passengers standing at the rail, waving good-bye to relatives and friends, were at least thirty children. They ranged in age from Samuel Eaton, a babe in arms, to Mary Chilton and Constance Hopkins, fifteen years old. They were brought aboard for different reasons. Some of their parents or guardians were seeking religious freedom. Others were searching for a better life than they had in England or Holland. Some of the children were there as servants. Every one of the youngsters survived the strenuous voyage of three months. As the "Mayflower" made its way across the Atlantic, perhaps they frolicked and played on the decks during clear days. They must have clung to their mothers' skirts during the fierce gales the ship encountered on other days. Some of their names sound odd today. There were eight-year-old Humility Cooper, six-year-old Wrestling Brewster, and nine-year-old Love Brewster. Resolved White was five, while Damans Hopkins was only three. Other names sound more familiar. Among the eight-year- olds were John Cooke and Francis Billington. John Billington, Jr. was six years old as was Joseph Mullins. Richard More was seven years old and Samuel Fuller was four. Mary Allerton, who was destined to outlive all others aboard, was also four. She lived to the age of eighty-three. The Billington boys were the mischief-makers. Evidently weary of the everyday pastimes, Francis and John, Jr.

  • An Investigation Into Weston's Colony at Wessagussett Weymouth, MA Craig S
    Plymouth Archaeological Rediscovery Project (PARP) An Investigation into Weston's Colony at Wessagussett Weymouth, MA Craig S. Chartier MA www.plymoutharch.com March 2011 The story of the 1622 plantation at Wessagusset begins with Master Thomas Weston. Weston was a wealthy London merchant and ironmonger and one of the original backers of the Plymouth colonists’ plantation in the New World. Weston personally traveled to Leiden, Holland to convince the Plymouth colonists not to negotiate with the Dutch or the Virginia Company for the right to settle in their New World lands (Davis 1908:63). Weston informed them that he and a number of other merchants would be the Adventurers who would personally finance their colony. He also informed them that Sir Ferdinando Gorges had obtained a patent for land in the northern part of Virginia that they had named “New England,” and that they could be establishing a colony at any time (Davis 1908:66). Unfortunately, after the conditions were drawn up, agreed upon in Holland and sent back to England, the Adventurers, with Weston being specifically named, changed some of the particulars, and the colonists, having already sold everything to finance the venture, had to agree to the altered terms (Davis 1908: 66). Weston became the chief agent and organizer of the venture which led some of the settlers, such as John Robinson, Samuel Fuller, William Bradford, Isaac Allerton, and Edward Winslow to fear laying their fate in the hands of one man alone (Davis 1908:66, 71). The London merchant Adventurers agreed to finance the voyage in order to see personal gain through the shipping of lumber, sassafras, and fur back to them from the Plymouth Colony.
