What is the best way to share information? I'm a little new to this web-based stuff... As I said in an earlier post, I have details back to Edmond's Gt Gt grandfather, Isaac Allerton, who was one of the leaders of the Mayflower expedition and subsequently had a long career in Massachusetts. Isaac is well documented on web sources. His son Bartholomew returned to England, and hence the family here continued. He had two sons, Isaac and John, and it does not seem to be possible to prove which of them was father of Bartholomew's grandson, also Bartholomew, who was Edmond's father. I have the text of Edmond's will, if you hadn't seen it. It is my supposition that Henry "lost out" on his father's inheritance, moving away from the area of his birth (Worlingham), and apparently being poorly educated. I am intrigued that their is no knowledge of the "Mayflower" link on this side of the family - something one might expect to be passed down - and I know from contact with descendents of Susannah and Henry's other siblings that it was passed on in their families. Henry's family is well documented from the parish records of Little Saxham, where he settled, which are published and available online. Let me know if you would like specific details on any of the above. Oh, and in case you didn't already realise, you are a distant cousin of two US presidents, Zachary Taylor (12th) and Roosevelt (32nd), also direct descendents of Isaac!
