• Notes

  Birth: 1590 Berkshire, England Death: Feb. 25, 1621 Plymouth Plymouth County Massachusetts, USA "Mayflower" passenger Wife of Isaac Allerton, the 5th signer of the "Mayflower Compact". She traveled to the Colonies with her husband and 3 children Barhlomew, Remember and Mary Allerton Cushman, who became the wife of Elder Thomas Cushman. She was the first person to give birth in the Colonies (a stillborn born upon the Mayflower as it was docked in the harbor). It is said that in the painting by Henry Sargent (1770-1885) entitled "Landing of the Pilgrims", Mary Norris Allerton is represented as having a fine face, rather beautiful, and as being of a "meek and quiet spirit". The painting was painted in 1818-1822 and is on permanent display at Pilgrim Hall Museum; Plymouth, MA.

She married Isaac Allerton in Leiden, Holland in 1611, one of the first marriages amongst the Pilgrims after they had fled to Holland from England. Her marriage record indicates she was from Newbury, perhaps Newbury, Berkshire, England. She had children Bartholomew, Remember and Mary in Leiden, all of whom came on the Mayflower with her. She and Isaac buried a child, not yet named, at St. Peters, Leiden on 5 February 1620, and she gave birth to a stillborn son ten months later, on board the Mayflower in Plymouth Harbor, on 22 December 1620. Mary died on 25 February 1621, during the height of the first winter when half the Mayflower passengers and crew died. Her husband Isaac, and her three children Bartholomew, Remember, and Mary, all survived, however. Isaac would later remarry to Fear Brewster, daughter of Plymouth's Elder William Brewster.
