Isaac Allerton

Isaac Allerton Sr., and his family, were passengers on the historic voyage of the ship Mayflower, in 1620. Allerton was a signatory to the Mayflower Compact. In Plymouth Colony he was active in colony governmental affairs and business and later in trans-Atlantic trading. Problems with the latter regarding colony expenditures caused him to be censured by the colony government and ousted from the colony. He later became a well-to-do businessman elsewhere and in his later years resided in the state of Connecticut.
