Elizabeth was born in Elizabeth City Colony British Colonial America. The daughter of Alice and Thomas Willoughby.
Elizabeth married Isaac Allerton, Jr.
was born in Plymouth, Massachusetts, sometime after May 22, 1627 and before September 21, 1631; however, no birth record has been found for him. He was the son of Mayflower Pilgrim Isaac Allerton and his second wife Fear Brewster, the daughter of Elder William Brewster. [His sister, Sarah was born 1626 and died young.]
The ire of the Plymouth Colony against his father resulted in his father moving to the New Haven Colony. As a result of the upheavals of losing his mother and his father moving away, the young Allerton became a member of the extended family of his grandfather William Brewster and eventually joined the family of his uncle Love Brewster. He was tutored by his grandfather Brewster prior to entering college. He graduated from Harvard College in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1650.
Isaac Allerton married, as his first wife, Elizabeth (_____) in New Haven, Connecticut in 1652/3. They had two children, Elizabeth (1653–1740) and Isaac (1655-?).
When his 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.
In 1663, Allerton married as his second wife the twice-widowed Elizabeth Willoughby (Overzee) Colclough. They had three daughters and one son: Willoughby (b. ca. 1664), Mary Allerton (b. ca. 1665), Frances (b. ca. 1668), and Sarah (1670–1731).
As a tobacco planter-merchant Allerton probably constructed a wharf and warehouse (as his father had done in New Amsterdam) since financial success required both growing and transporting tobacco.
In 1663 Allerton 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, the great-grandfather of president George Washington, in order to subdue Susquehannock and Doeg Indians, who were raiding settlements.
During Bacon's Rebellion (1675 through 1676). Allerton was a member of the House of Burgesses but remained loyal to the governor. Allerton's family developed a close relationship with Lee's family. Both Allerton and Lee were senior officers in the Virginia militia and both served as members of the General Court of Virginia. Records of the region indicate that Allerton and Lee participated in commerce, governmental affairs and social activities.
In 1688, he along with Captain George Brent of Stafford County, Virginia (former Governor of Maryland) and Captain Lawrence Washington were named by their friend, Colonel Nicholas Spencer to serve as trustees of his estates. Captain Washington, named by Spencer as a trustee, was the younger brother of Lieutenant Colonel John Washington and was born in 1635. The trustees named by Colonel Spencer in his will received forty shillings for mourning rings.
In 1691 Allerton, Lee and John Armistead refused to take the oath recognizing William and Mary as England's rightful rulers..
Whether Allerton bought land from his neighbor Richard Lee II or acquired it over time is not known. He may have acquired the land from his marriage to Elizabeth, who would have acquired it from her previous marriages or from her parents. In any event, Allerton's family became wealthy, with indentured servants, and owned a 2,150-acre plantation on the south side of the Rappahannock River.
Isaac Allerton died between 25 Oct. 1702 and 30 Dec. 1702 in Westmoreland County, Virginia.
