I appreciate your attempt to link Mary Norris Allerton to the lineage that I have developed over the last 30 years. However I am confident in saying that she is not the daughter of Edward Norris, pastor of Salem.
The Mary Norris who arrived in Roxbury in 1639 was not married.
Issac Allerton, according to Wikipedia, married a Mary Norris in 1611. When they arrived in Plymouth they had three children, namely Bartholomew, Remembrance, and Mary.
Mary the mother died in 1620, the first winter at Plymouth.
The following is from Wikipeidia:
"Settling in Marblehead, Massachusetts, Allerton established a profitable fishing business. Fear Brewster died in 1634, and Allerton married Joanna Swinnerton sometime between 1634 and 1644. He was soon commanded by the Massachusetts authorities to leave the colony. He relocated to New Amsterdam in 1643. Two years later, he moved again to the new English settlement at New Haven, Connecticut, where he continued his activities as a merchant.
Allerton died in February 1659 in New Haven and was buried under the town common. Although his estate, when inventoried, appeared to be large, he was in fact found to have died insolvent.
His daughter, Mary, was the last survivor of the Mayflower company."
It is clear from this that the first Mary Norris was not the daughter of Edward Norris.
It is also clear that the second Mary Norris, daughter of Issac Allerton, could not be the Mary Norris who arrived from Holland in 1635 at Roxbury, since Allerton himself was already in America and married Joanna Swinnerton there between 1634 and 1644 as shown above.
Therefore, finally, I hope, Mary Norris of the family of Edward Norris (where she is named as HIS daughter) is NOT the same person as Mary Norris the daughter of Issac Allerton.
I only hope that this FACT will once and for all be disseminated through the net quickly.
Steve Norris, of the Norrises of New York and New Jersey.
