Lisa is also a descendant of 17th century Pilgrim and Delaware River trader Isaac Allerton, one of the merchants who traded with the Lenapes and supplied the Dutch, Swedish, and English settlers along the Delaware. Today Lisa serves as Counselor of the National General Society of Mayflower Descendants. We love Gloria Dei.
