ALLISON-MATHEWS IMMIGRANT ANCESTORS
We have hundreds, and they were all in the colonies before the Revolution. This
list represents less than 50% of them; but in every case where we don’t know the original
immigrants, we do know they had descendents born here before the Revolution.1
Because not everyone having access to this file is interested in every family, I
have categorized them under the same family headings under which I’ve organized the
Genealogical Charts. I have included brief information on some, but I do not draw the
connections. If you wish to do so, go to the appropriate genealogical chart. The date or
date ranges listed pertain to immigration into the colonies.
What strikes me is the relatively few places all these people immigrated; but, of
course, it makes sense that they would arrive at only the few places receiving colonists. If
they were unmarried, they would meet their immigrant spouses in those places, and their
immediate children would meet and marry there before their descendents would
eventually spread out across America to mingle their genome sequences to create us.
Still, if you’ll pardon a romantic reflection, I often wonder if in the sequence they gave
me is a Lamarckian attachment to Inverness, Edinburgh, the Yorkshire Dales, Cardiff,
Marlborough, Massachusetts, Newport, Rhode Island, Jamestown, Virginia, New Haven,
Connecticut, and New Bern, North Carolina, for when I go to these places, I feel so
much at home.

Jamestown, Virginia: On May 14, 1607, the Virginia Company explorers landed
on Jamestown Island to establish the Virginia English colony on the banks of the James
River 60 miles from the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. Almost immediately after
landing, the colonists were under attack from Algonquians. While disease, famine and
continuing attacks took a tremendous toll on the population, trade with the Algonquian
Chief Powhatan revived the colony, and Captain John Smith’s leadership kept the colony
from dissolving. Although suffering continued at Jamestown for decades, years of peace
and prosperity followed the wedding of the favored daughter of Chief Powhatan,
Pocahontas, to tobacco entrepreneur John Rolfe. In response to orders from the Virginia
Company "to establish one equal and uniform government over all Virginia" which
would provide "just laws for the happy guiding and governing of the people there

inhabiting," the first representative assembly in the New World convened in the
Jamestown church on July 30, 1619. The same year, crucially, a Dutch slave trader
exchanged his cargo of Africans for food. These Africans became indentured servants,
similar in legal position to poor Englishmen who traded several years’ labor in exchange
for passage to America. The race-based slave system did not fully develop until the
1680's. In 1622, the Algonquians attacked the outer plantations, killing over 300 of the
settlers. Even though a last minute warning spared Jamestown, the attack on the colony
and mismanagement of the Virginia Company at home convinced the King that he should
revoke the Virginia Company Charter. Virginia became a crown colony in 1624.
Jamestown remained the capital of Virginia until its major statehouse burned in 1698.
John Allison – 1623, aboard The Prosperous -- Windyedge Farm, Avon,
Lanarkshire, Scotland to Jamestown, Elizabeth City County, Virginia. The Allisons had
farmed at Windyedge since they had submitted to the protection of the Duke of Hamilton
in the 14th Century, but circa 1600, they became Covenanters and thus provoked the
forces of James I – determined to eliminate all religious dissent -- to lay waste to
Windyedge and scatter the Allisons, who migrated to the Scottish borders, England,
Northern Ireland, and Virginia.
Ellin Hamilton – 1624, aboard The Christie with two sons -- Avon, Lanarkshire,
Scotland to Jamestown, Elizabeth City County, Virginia. Daughter of Sir Robert

The Puritans
How Virginian Alexander Winn--great-great-grandson of immigrant
Robert Wynne--met Elizabeth Barnes of Brookfield, Massachusetts, is anybody’s
guess. A branch of the Winn family originally had settled in Woburn,
A. A. Allison
Page 4
Massachusetts, at about the same time original immigrant Robert came to
Virginia, so Alexander may have been visiting distant cousins when he met
Elizabeth, who brought an impressive New England pedigree to the otherwise
purely southern Allison-Winn line. From Wikipedia Encyclopedia: In 1656, fur
trader John Howe built a house at the intersection of two Indian trails—the
Nashua trail and the Connecticut path—and was soon joined by several families
from the near-by town of Sudbury. That intersection would become the town of
Marlborough, Massachusetts. Howe could speak Algonquin, and the local tribe
welcomed him and the other settlers because the well-armed Europeans afforded
protection from their traditional tribal enemies. Because of fervent missionary
efforts, Marlborough became one of the seven “Indian Praying Towns.”

Woburn Daily Times 1999 by Marie Coady: “History has recorded, and accurately
so, that the Puritans were hardly party animals. In fact, they had a habit of putting a
damper on just about anything that stood a chance of bringing a smile to your face. So
stern and rigid were their practices, they even managed to put a damper on Christmas in
A. A. Allison
Page 5
New England for nearly two centuries. When the Puritan majority took over the General
Court of Massachusetts, their first act was to essentially outlaw Christmas. To accomplish
this end, they passed a law in 1659 that made celebrating Christmas punishable by a fine.
This obviously didn't go over too big, because the ban was effectively repealed in 1681.
But by then the standard had been set and became a way of life well into the 19th
century. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the early editions of Woburn's newspapers.
As late as 1850, any mention of Christmas was rare and brief. It wasn't until an influx of
German and Irish immigrants broke through that dour, Puritan legacy, that it was slowly
undermined in favor of a more joyous Christmas celebration. The change in attitude was
recognized by none other that Henry Wordsworth Longfellow in 1856 when he noted, "
We are in a new transition state about Christmas here in New England. The old Puritan
feeling prevents it from being a cheerful, hearty holiday; though every year makes it
more so. "The Woburn Journal published on Christmas Day of 1858 made note of this
fact also. "Although the time had been when it was unlawful to keep the day (Christmas)
in New England as a religious festival, and a penal enactment was actually in force to
prevent its observance, it may now be said that there is no Puritanism so rigid, no
sectarian so absurd as to refuse the observance in some way."

The survivors traveled with great hardship overland to North Carolina, stopping

Double Dissenters: As suppression of religious dissent persisted under James I,
more people from England prepared to withstand the alienation and hardship of New
England rather capitulate to the established religion. In 1638, after a another division over

her child. She was sentenced to death by hanging, but was reprieved until 29 May 1651.
No further record appears, so most writers accept the view that she died in prison shortly

in town as a burgess from Stafford, wrote of William Drummond that he was a
'gentleman of good repute', a sober Scot whose 'wisdom and honesty (sic)...contending
