Colonial Families of the United States of America: Volume 2 [p.11]: "Isaac Allerton, Jr., went to Virginia, and provided Mayflower descent to lots of folks in that state, including President Zachary Taylor. Since Isaac, junior, married William Brewster's daughter Fear (another of those odd Puritan names), you get two Mayflower descents for the price of one."

Westmoreland County, Virginia Wills, 1654-1800: Allerton, Isaac, 25 October 1702; 30 December 1702. 1050 acres and 600 acres to dau. Sarah Lee; grandson Allerton Newton land in Stafford; £10 to church of Cople Parish; dau. Elizabeth Starr who lives in New England 600 acres on southside Rappahannock River; my dau. Travers had her dowry at marriage; her three daus. Elizabeth, Rebecca and Winifred Travers 1,000 lbs. tobacco each; son Willoughby Allerton exr. and residue of estate.

ISAAC, b. Plymouth say 1630; Harvard 1650 [Sibley 1:253-56]; m. (1) about 1652 Elizabeth _____ [NEHGR 124:83-84 argues that she was a daughter of Joanna Swinnerton, third wife of Isaac's father]; m. (2) Virginia about 1663 Elizabeth (Willoughby) (Overzee) Colclough, dau. of Capt. Thomas Willoughby and widow of Simon Overzee and George Colclough [Wakefield, Isaac Allerton of the Mayflower... (Plymouth 1990) 4-5]; all modern authorities agree that the Isaac Allerton born at New Haven in 1655, son of this Isaac Allerton by his first wife, died without issue, and some other origin must be found for the Allertons who appear in New Haven late in the seventeenth century [MQ 45:23; MD 42:117].

Isaac Allerton son of Isaac Allerton, one of the Puritan leaders of the "Mayflower" expedition, and his wife Fear, daughter of William Brewster, was born in Plymouth, Mass., in 1630, and graduated at Harvard College in 1650. He is said to have been, for a time, associated with his father in the business of trading between Plymouth, New Haven and New Amsterdam, but it is possible that during most of the time between his graduation and his father's death, in 1659, he was his representative in Virginia. As early as Feb. 6, 1650, there was recorded a dispute between the Indians and a Mr. Allerton, regarding a plantation which the latter had cleared, which reached the governor and council. It is believed that this refers to the elder Isaac Allerton, but it may be that immediately after leaving college the son established a plantation in Virginia. He appears to have made his first permanent residence in Virginia about 1660, and soon became a man of prominence. In 1663 he was sworn a justice of Northumberland. In 1675, with the rank of major, he was second in command to Col. John Washington, of the Virginia troops sent against the Indians. In the campaign which followed they allied themselves with the Maryland forces at the latter's invitation in the siege of an Indian fort, but before the opening of hostilities a horrible murder was committed by the Marylanders in the shooting of five Indian chiefs who had come to negotiate peace. This was done against the earnest opposition of Washington and Allerton, but caused such indignation on the part of the Virginia authorities that an investigation of their conduct was ordered, which, however, cleared them of all responsibility for the crime. Allerton was burgess for Westmoreland in 1676-77, and for Northumberland for a number of years between 1668 and 1677. In 1680 and 1688 he was escheator of Westmoreland with the rank of colonel, and prior to Sept. 25, 1683, he was appointed to the council. His occupation of the position at this time seems to have been only temporary, as in 1686-87 Secretary Spencer, acting governor, wrote, that he had called Col. Isaac Allerton to the council in Col. Ludwell's place. A little later King James wrote that Col. Allerton was to be sworn as a member of the council in Col. Ludwell's place, the royal favor being accounted for on the statement that Allerton was either a Catholic or inclined to that faith. He was present at sessions of the council regularly until 1691, when he refused, as did Armistead and Lee, to take the oath of allegiance to the new sovereigns, William and Mary. He was probably not formally dropped until 1693, when the governor wrote that Col. Allerton, of the council, was very old and had retired. His death occurred sometime in 1702.

"Isaac
The Allerton House Allerton(2) married Elizabeth (...) in New Haven in 1652/3. They had two children, Elizabeth (1653-1740) and Isaac(3) (1655-?). When Issac's(2) wife Elizabeth died circa 1660, he moved his family to Northumberland County, in Virginia's Northern Neck. Initially he settled in Wicomico at the far eastern end of the county on land adjacent to the Chesapeake Bay and in the vicinity of the plantation of Richard Lee II.

Circa 1663, Issac(2) married the twice-widowed Elizabeth (Overzee) Colclough. They had three children: Willoughby (b. ca 1664), Frances (b. ca 1668), and Sarah (1670-1731). As a tobacco planter-merchant Isaac(2) probably constructed a wharf and warehouse (as his father had done in New Amsterdam) since financial success required both growing and transporting tobacco. Whether Isaac bought land from Richard Lee II or acquired it over time is not known. Alternatively, he may have acquired land from his marriage to Elizabeth, who would have acquired it from her previous marriages or from her wealthy parents.
Robert E. LeeIn any event, Issac's(2) family became wealthy, with indentured servants, owned a 2150-acre plantation on the south side of the Rappahannock River and entered the influential class of planter-merchants that included the Washington and Lee families.

In 1663 Isaac(2) was a justice of Northumberland County. In 1667 he was a member of the "Committee of the Association of Northumberland, Westmoreland and Stafford Counties." He became a member of the Virginia militia and ultimately rose to the rank of colonel. As a major in 1667, he served under Colonel John Washington, great-grandfather of our first president George, in order to subdue Susquehannock and Doeg Indians, who were raiding settlements. Isaac(2) served as justice of the peace and member of the House of Burgesses in 1676-77. During Bacon's rebellion Isaac was a member of the House of Burgesses but remained loyal to the governor. Isaac's family developed a close relationship with the family of Richard Lee II (1634-1713/14). Both Isaac(2) and Richard Lee II were senior officers in the Virginia militia and both served as members of the General Court of Virginia. Records of the region indicate that Isaac Allerton(2) and Richard Lee II participated in commerce, governmental affairs and social activities. Richard Lee II had a younger brother, Hancock (1652-1709), who married Isaac's daughter, Sarah Allerton (1670-1731), following the death of Hancock's wife. In 1691 Isaac Allerton, Richard Lee II and John Armistead refused to take the oath recognizing William and Mary as England's rightful rulers."
