He graduated Harvard College in 1650.
He married first Elizabeth (Unknown) about 1652 and they had two children:
#Elizabeth, b. 27 Sep 1653;
#Isaac, b. 11 Jun 1655, d. bef. 25 Oct 1702.
By 1655, he had acquired land in Northumberland County, Virginia and by 1660, he had moved to Virginia.[April Lee Hatfield, Atlantic Virginia: Intercolonial Relations Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2004), 113–4.]
After the death of his first wife, he married the widow [[Willoughby-152|Elizabeth (Willoughby) Overzee Colclough]],[Robert S.

#Willoughby, b. ca. 1664;
#Frances, b. ca. 1669;
#Sarah, b. ca. 1670.
He possibly had a 4th daughter, [[Unknown-137649|Mary]], who married John Newton, Jr.
The 2014 edition of the Brewster Silver book addresses the mystery of the child named "Mary." As quoted from page 179: "With so many problems, the theory that Isaac Allerton had a reputed fourth, unnamed, daughter, circumstantially identified as [[Unknown-137649|Mary (Allerton?) Newton]], wife of John Newton Jr., became difficult to accept and another solution was sought." On page 180 there is a full list of citations showing how Mary can't be Isaac's child.

"The Silver Book" Page 179-180]
He was a Justice of Northumberland County in 1663. He was also a Colonel in the Virginia militia.[Heinsohn, Robert Jennings, PhD. "Isaac Allerton in Marblehead, New Amsterdam and New Haven."

It contains a bibliography of recent works not available online and haven't been checked.] Isaac Allerton served as Burgess from Northumberland County in the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1668, 1672, 1673, 1674, 1676-77, 1696-97. He was a member of the Virginia Council in 1683.[Stanard, William G. and Mary Newton Stanard.

He passed away sometime between 25 Oct 1702 and 30 Dec 1702 (date of will and probate), in Westmoreland, Virginia,[ perhaps in Cople Parish. In his will, he names his daughter Sarah Lee and grandson Allerton Newton, daughter Elizabeth Starr alias Heirs (Eyre/Ayre); daughter (Frances) Traverse (dec'd) and her daughters Elizabeth, Rebecca and Winifred Travers; and son, Willoughby Allerton.][Walter S. Allerton, “Isaac2 Allerton’s Will,” [https://archive.org/details/mayflowerdescendv7mass/page/347/mode/2up ''Mayflower Descendant 7 (1905): 173–6,] citing Westmoreland County, Virginia Wills, Book 3, page 115.
