Dedicated to
The descendants of Elder William Brewster whose
interest in their family history has been an
incentive to the production of this work
" It is wise for us to recur to the history of our ancestors. Those who
do not look upon themselves as a link, connecting the past with the future,
do not perform their duty to the world." — Daniel Websteb.
" To let the memory of these men die is injurious to posterity, by de-
priving them of what might contribute to promote their steadiness to their
principles under hardships and severities." — Rev. E. Calamy, D.D.
" Let us gather up the traditions which still exist; let us show the
world, that if we are not called to follow the example of our fathers, we
are at least not insensible to the worth of their characters; not indifferent
to the sacrifices and trials, by which they purchased our prosperity "—
Edward Evebett.

PREFACE
The late Lot Edward Brewster, of Cincinnati, Ohio, a native of
Lebanon, Connecticut, and a member of the New England Historic-
Genealogical Society of Boston, Massachusetts, for several years col-
lected data for a Brewster genealogy, but his work ceased in 1847 and
was not published. After his death, in 1849, his manuscript passed
into the keeping of another branch of the Brewster family.
His granddaughter, the compiler of this publication, had for
many years in her possession the original rough draft of his work —
an outline — to which she added from time to time the data she ob-
tained from various sources. She learned that her grandfather had
left a later manuscript genealogy and, after years of search for it,
she was placed in correspondence with Mr. Charles Ellis Brewster,
of Minneapolis, Minnesota, who proved to be in possession of this
last manuscript and who kindly presented it to her. It was evident,
however, that while this later, but small, genealogy embodied impor-
tant information, its publication in the condition in which Mr. L. E.
Brewster left it would be far from satisfactory; for he had been
unable to trace the descendants of numerous branches of the family,
and the arrangement was not as works of this character are now
presented. It was necessary, therefore, to edit his manuscript and
complete and verify the records as far as possible, for which the
compiler obtained from town clerks and others certified copies of
the vital records relating to the early generations.
The descendants of Elder William Brewster were invited through
letters, circulars, notices in magazines and journals, and other me-
diums, to furnish their family records, and printed blanks for these
records were supplied. Although the responses were numerous, there
are many incomplete records and possibly these partial ones are
inaccurate, owing to the silence of those who could have contributed
complete and correct data.
A request was made that the authority accompany the records
furnished, and many in the late generations are copies from church
and probate records, Bible records, gravestone inscriptions, diaries,
charts, family letters and papers, personal recollections of those who
communicated the information, and published records. The compiler
xi
Xll BREWSTER GENEALOGY
has constantly guarded against errors, although she has not hoped to
escape them entirely nor to complete this genealogy, for that, in a
work of this extent, is impossible.
The work contains the records of eleven generations of descend-
ants of Elder William Brewster, through four of his grandsons,
namely: Benjamin3 Brewster (son of Jonathan2 Brewster), Isaac3
Allerton (son of Fear2 Brewster), William3 Brewster and Wrestling3
Brewster (sons of Love2 Brewster), approximating four thousand
and one hundred families. Also the records (the families only), of
nine granddaughters of Elder Brewster, which are with the families
of the second generation.
The greater part of the introductory material in the first volume
is given in response to many inquiries and requests received from
correspondents. This material and the biographical notes in the two
volumes are presented as records and not as a literary effort.
Some time after beginning this Brewster genealogy the com-
piler learned that Mrs. Lucy Hall Greenlaw, of Boston, was pre-
paring " Early Generations of the Brewster Family," which was
printed later in the New England Historical and Genealogical Reg-
ister, volume liii. The compiler acknowledges her indebtedness to
this valuable genealogical record of the first six generations in the
male line, for information, supplementing her own material, for
which due credit has been given in the Eeference to Authorities in
the following pages.
The late Eeverend Ashbel Steele, A. M., in a footnote to page
402 of his admirable biographic history — Chief of the Pilgrims, or
Life and Time of William Brewster, published in 1857, declared his
intention of publishing a genealogy of Elder Brewster's descendants.
This genealogy, however, was never printed. In answer to inquiries
the compiler regrets her inability to give any information as to its
scope or completeness, as she has never seen the Eev. Mr. Steele's
manuscript, which, she is informed, has been lost for many years.
Those who are not familiar with genealogical research have little
conception of the vast amount of time, labor, patience, perseverance
and expense necessary in preparing a work of this kind. Although
this book has cost in addition to many thousands of dollars, eleven
years of study, labor and self-sacrifice; the writing of many thou-
sands of letters and the receipt and careful reading of a very large
number; months and sometimes years of waiting for answers to her
inquiries, some of which are still unanswered; the perplexity over a
lost link in the chain ; the adjusting of conflicting dates of the same
PREFACE Xlll
event, each of which was apparently verified, and the tracing of fami-
lies whose residences were unknown, nevertheless the compiler has
been partially repaid by the large number of records saved, many
of which were fast becoming obscured or lost.
This publication, of two volumes, comprises the First Part of the
Brewster Genealogy. For the Second Part of the same work she has
compiled the family records of male and female descendants of nine
granddaughters of Elder William Brewster, having about the same
number of families as those in this First Part At the present time the
date of publication of the Second Part is indefinite.
The compiler extends her grateful' and heartfelt thanks both to
the many friends who have so faithfully contributed to this work,
and for the encouragement received from those with whom it has been
her pleasure and privilege to correspond She also acknowledges with
sincere thanks the kind assistance rendered by the publishers.
Actuated by a deep interest in the Brewster family history and a
desire to be helpful, the compiler undertook the task of collecting
these records for preservation. With the hope that they may benefit
those who are similarly interested, and especially the future genera-
tions, she herewith offers the result of her labors.

EXPLANATORY NOTES
The references to authorities for the first seven generations immedi-
ately follow a family record, or a group of family records.
The references to authorities for the eighth and following genera-
tions are " family papers."
" Pamly papers " include one or more of the following authorities :
Bible records, gravestone inscriptions, deeds, diaries, charts, family
letters and papers, personal recollections of those who communicated
the information, and published records.
To determine the place of birth of a child in a family record where
a hyphen connects two numbers, the children whose numbers are the
same as the numbers having the hyphen and the intervening numbers
were born at the same place. For example — the children of Jona-
than2 Brewster: i-iii born at Plymouth, iv Jones Eiver, v-viii Dux-
bury, means that his children having the numbers i through iii were
born at Plymouth, iv at Jones Eiver and v through viii at Duxbury.
In a group of family records, the names of the children are in
large and small capitals and have Eoman numerals — i, ii, etc.; the
grand-children have Arabic numerals — 1, 2, etc., and the great grand-
children have Arabic numerals in parentheses — (1), (2), etc. See
family No. 22, p. 57, first child — i Ezra5 Arnold, etc.
Where a town or city is repeated in a family record the state is
omitted, but the state is given in connection with the same town or
city where it is first mentioned.

OLD AND NEW STYLE OF DATING*
The correction of the calendar made by Pope Gregory XIII., in
March, 1582, was immediately adopted by most Koman Catholic
countries, although not established in Great Britain and her colonies
until 1752. From this cause arose the custom indicating the change,
by the use of double dates between the 1st day of January and the
25th day of March in each year. Thus, March 3rd, 1751-52, would
be March 14th, 1752, new style.
By the new calendar of Pope Gregory, October 5th, 1582, became
October 15, 1582, striking out ten days, and so continued until the
year 1700, when one more day was dropped, and from October 5th,
1699, to October 6th, 1700, was one year.
In 1751 the British Parliament, by Statute Law, provided that
" the then next first day of January shall be reckoned to be the
first day of the year 1752, and that the day following the 2nd day
of September, 1752, shall be called the 14th day of September, omit-
ting eleven intermediate nominal days." Old style, therefore, ceased
in Great Britain and her colonies at the end of the day September
2nd, 1752, and new style commenced on the morning of September
3rd, 1752. September 3rd, old style, became September 14th, 1752,
new style.f
The manner of writing dates when New England was first settled
was by numbering the months. March was the first month in the
year and February the twelfth month. The 25th day of March being
" Annunciation Da3^," was the first day of the year, and the 24th
day of March the last day of the year. The practice of numbering
the months continued in some of the towns until about 1660. After
the numbering of the months was discontinued still the year com-
menced with the 25th day of March, and so continued until 1752.

COAT OF ARMS
The illustration is reproduced by request, and is a copy of a paint-
ing of the coat of arms of the Brewster family in England, executed
in London, England.
An extract from " Mayflower Passengers and Coat- Armour " in
The Mayflower Descendant, vol. ii. pp. 1G0-63, is given below:
."In 1891 Mr. William S. Appleton published a list in the New
England Historic-Genealogical Register of ' Positive Pedigrees and
Authorized Arms.' This has been followed by a supplementary list
bringing the number of names up to thirty-two. Proof in each case
was indisputable, and no claim was admitted without the most care-
ful scrutiny. Neither in these lists, nor in a manuscript list of some
additional settlers likely to have been armigerous, but for whose use
of arms there was insufficient proof to justify printing their names,
does Mr. Appleton mention any Mayflower passenger. To those who
know the care with which Mr. Appleton's work was done, this in itself
is sufficient proof that neither Winslow, Standish, nor their fellow
voyagers can be considered armigers."
In the annual report of the Committee on Heraldry, made to the
Council of the New England Historic-Genealogical Society, Dec. 15,
1898, and adopted by the Society at its annual meeting in 1899, a3
published in the Register, vol. liii. 399-40, it says : " Proof of right
must either be found in the Heralds' records, or be established by
authenticated pedigree direct from an armiger." In this report the
Committee discourages the use of arms by Americans.
In Morton Dexter's publication, The England and Holland of the
Pilgrims, p. 255, he says: "A. Steele (Chief of the Pilgrims, 38)
infers that Brewster was descended from the Brewsters of Wrentham
because an ' old copy of the same coat of arms ' is said to have been
preserved in one branch of the family in this country. But there
appear to be several Brewster families in this country, and a coat of
arms, unless supported by conclusive proof, is not satisfactory evi-
dence. It deserves record, however, that when Brewster was cited
before the High Court of Commission, Dec. 1, 1G07, ... he
was described officially as 'William Bruster of Scrowbie, gen.'
'Gen' doubtless is an abbreviation of 'generosus' i. e., well born."

SCROOBY MANOR-HOUSE*
Rev. Joseph Hunter, F. S. A., in his Founders of New Plymouth,
says : " No reasonable doubt can ever arise, that the seat and centre
of that religious community, which afterwards planted itself on the
shores of New England, was at this Nottinghamshire village of
Scrooby.
" This noted spot was the nucleus of the Pilgrim Church, and here
was linked and riveted the solemn fellowship and unity of purpose
and spirit, which subsisted through manifold perils until it had laid
the foundations of a mighty empire in the distant shores of America."
These facts make the little village worthy of more than a passing
notice, as it seems destined to become the Mecca of all Pilgrim
descendants.
The accompanying illustration is from a recent photograph, and
shows all that remains of the historic building, which has played such
an important part in shaping the destiny of the New World.
In Governor Bradford's eulogy of William Brewster in his history
" Of Plimoth Plantation" he mentions the manor-house at Scrooby
as follows : " They [the Pilgrims] ordinarily mett at his house on ye
Lords day; (which was a manor of ye bishops,) and with great love
he entertained them when they came, making provission for them to
his great charge."
Eev. Ashbel Steele, in The Life and Time of William Brewster,
says : " 'Scrooby Manor,' even as far back as William the Conqueror,
if not earlier, was a possession of the Archbishops of York, and was
to them a place of frequent sojourn, as well as a convenient resting-
place in their journeys. . . . Here slept Margaret, Queen of
Scotland, daughter of Henry VII, on her way to that kingdom. Here
Cardinal Woolsey, . . . passed weeks ' ministering many deeds
of charity.' "
Henry VIII, " with a gallant company," on his northern progress
in 1541, lodged there.

Wallace Case, Washington, D. C.

man, Mercys Prence, Patience2 Brewster, William*.
XX BREWSTER GENEALOGY
Mr. Steele also says that after Elder Brewster's occupancy this his-
toric building " was at length gradually neglected, and finally suffered
to go to decay. One hundred years later — while the park still re-
mained, the house had nearly fallen to the ground. In 1813 nothing
remained marking the ancient abode of splendor and hospitality but
some small part incorporated into a farmhouse, and in the garden
an old mulberry tree, planted, tradition says, by the haughty Woolsey."
Leland, the ancient historian, describes it as it was upon his visit
in 1538, as " a great Manor Place, standing withyn a Mote, and
[be]longging to th archbishop of Yorh, buildid yn to [two] Courtes,
whereof the first is very ample, and al buildid of Tymbre, saving
the Front of the Haule, that is of Brike, to the wich ascenditur per
gradus lapideos. The ynner Courte Building, as far as I markid,
was of Tymber Building, and was not in cumpace past the 4. parte of
the utter [outer] Courte." *
In Morton Dexter's publication, The England and Holland of the
Pilgrims, he quotes from the History of Nottinghamshire, by
Thoroton, the great English historian, as follows : " Here [at
Scrooby] within memory [i. e., of his first ed., 1677] stood a very
fair Palace, a far greater House of receit, and a better Seat for pro-
vision than Southivell, and had attending to it the North Soke, con-
sisting of very many Towns thereabouts; it hath a fair park belong-
ing to it. Archbishop Sandes caused it to be demised to his son
Sir Samuel Sandes, since which the House hath been demolished
almost to the ground."
The accompanying plan of the original manor-house and its posses-
sions is copied, by permission, from The England and Holland of
the Pilgrims. Mr. Dexter has visited the spot repeatedly, and, as
recently as 1902, by permission of the late Lord Houghton, then
lord of the manor, he made thorough examination of the premises
including measurements and excavations.
Rev. William Elliot Griffis, in his Brave Little Holland, speaks
of this old farmhouse as " the palace kitchen or servants' house "
now used as a residence, and of the cow-house he says : " Cow-houses
are not usually raftered with carved oak, yet here under the red
tiles and over the heads of the horses and lowing oxen are superbly
carved beams of old oak, dark with the centuries of time-staining.
These were once the ceiling-timbers of the refectory, or chapel, of
the archiepiscopal palace which stood hard by. It was under these

oaken beams that the cradle of Massachusetts history began to rock.
Here the Pilgrim Church was born."
In Mr. Dexter's Story of the Pilgrims he says : " This house stands
upon the site of the ancient manor-house. Its southern wall is very

thick, like those built in great houses three or four hundred years ago.
There is much probability that this part of the building was included
in the original manor-house.
" The short wall, extending from the present house back to the
edge of the Kyton, used to contain stones evidently once portions
of chiselled cornices or columns, and the roof of one of the present
cow-houses is supported by carved beams * which probably did the
same work formerly in the hall or chapel, and must have echoed the
voices of Brewster and his fellow Pilgrims when they organized their
historic church and planned their escape to Holland.
* One of these beams is now in the Congregational Library in Boston.
XX11 BEEWSTEE GENEALOGY
" It is easy to picture to one's self Brewster and Bradford and
Kobinson and Clyfton, with the little company of their associates,
praying and singing, preaching and listening, planning and organ-
izing, conversing and breaking bread together, enjoying thoroughly
their precious fellowship, yet ever alert lest they be suddenly inter-
rupted and arrested. Kings and queens, cardinals and archbishops
had met and feasted within the same walls. But none were nobler
than the humble Pilgrims, and none have left a record in human
history like that which Brewster and his company began to make in
that now almost vanished edifice.
" An important part of the present farmhouse was included in
the manor-house where William Brewster lived."
From the testimony of these well informed writers it is certain
that this modest farmhouse stands on the site once occupied by the
ancient manor-house, which was the home of Elder Brewster and
sheltered the Pilgrim band in its first efforts to establish the Pilgrim
Church. It has been so accepted by the Pilgrim Society of Plymouth,
Massachusetts, as is evidenced by a tablet, which may be seen on the
western wall of the house, bearing the inscription:
This Tablet Erected By The Pilgrim Society of Plymouth, Mass.,
U. S. A., To Mark The Site Of The Ancient Manor-house Where Lived
William Brewster
From 1588 To 1608, And Where He Organized The Pilgrim Church, Of

As the foregoing notes are going to press the compiler is in-
formed that a committee, representing the General Society of May-
flower Descendants in the United States, is negotiating for the pur-
chase of the property with the Ecclesiastical Commissioners of Eng-
land, who hold the Scrooby Manor farm property for the Diocese
of York, and with Captain W. H. Peake, the present lessee and
Occupant. :
WILLIAM BREWSTER IN LEYDEN
At the time of the burial of Elder William Brewster's child in
St. Pancras, Saturday, June 20, 1609, as recorded at Leyden, he lived
in Stinksteeg, a short lane near the Hoogewoerds Bridge, and five
days later he had removed to St. Ursulusteeg. (The England and
Holland of the Pilgrims, 505-06.) " He subsequently removed to
the Choorsteeg, as it would appear from the title page of Cartright's
Commentaries on the Proverbs of Solomon, printed by him in 1617.
The Choorsteeg (vicus choralis) is an alley extending from the
Broadway to the choir of St. Peter's Church. These streets are
obscure but eligibly situated." (Historical Magazine, iv. 4.)
St. Peter's (Lutheran), the cathedral church of Leyden, was
built in 1121. Eev. John Bobinson, M. A., the pastor of the Pil-
grim Church and the associate of Elder Brewster, was buried under
St. Peter's Church March 4, 1625. On the outer wall there is a
bronze tablet, erected by the National Council of the Congregational
Churches of the United States of America, in 1891, in memory of
Rev. John Bobinson.
" Just across the street, the Klolcsteeg, is the site of the house in
which Robinson lived and preached, and in the garden of which a
score of smaller dwellings were built for other members of the
Pilgrim company." (The England and Holland of the Pilgrims.)
The Dutch Reformed Church, at Delfs-haven, Holland, was built
in 1416. In this church, tradition avers, the Pilgrims held farewell
service just previous to their departure for the New World, in 1620.
It stands at the edge of the canal, near which the Speedwell was
moored.
THE PILGRIM SHIP, "MAYFLOWER"
As articles written without research have appeared in several jour-
nals, expressing doubt as to the authenticity of the name " May-
flower " applied to the first Pilgrim ship, the following extracts
from the Plymouth Colony Records of Deeds and New England's
Memorial are given as evidence that the vessel in which the Pil-
grims landed at Cape Cod Harbor, November 11 (0. S.), November
21 (N. S.), 1620, was called "Mayflower":
First: At the top of the fourth page of the first volume of the
Plymouth Colony Records of Deeds is this entry, made in 1623,
or soon after, in the handwriting of Governor William Bradford:
" The Falles of their grounds which came first over in the May-Floure
according as thier lotes were cast. 1623."
Secondly: The name first appears in print in New England's
Memorial, published in 1669, by Nathaniel Morton (who was the
secretary of the Plymouth Colony from 1647 until his death in 1685,
and who " had the custody of the records, and made many entries
in thi3 first volume of deeds"), wherein he says: "a small ship
was bought and fitted out in Holland, of about sixty tons, called the
Speedwell, as to serve to transport some of them over, so also to
stay in the country, and attend upon fishing, and such other affairs
as might be for the good and benefit of the colony when they came
thither. Another ship was hired at London, of burthen about nine
score, called the Mayflower, and all other things got in readiness,
so, being prepared to depart, they had a solemn day of humiliation,
the pastor teaching a part of the day very profitably, and suitably
to the present occasion." (pp. 22-23) ..." These things thus
falling out it was resolved by the whole company to dismiss the lesser
ship, and part of the company with her, and that the other part of
the company should proceed in the bigger ship; which, when they
had ordered matters thereunto, they made another sad parting, the
one ship, viz., the lesser going back for London, and the other, viz.,
The Mayflower, Mr. Jones being master, proceeding on the intended
voyage. Tfyese troubles being blown over, and now all being com-
pact together in one ship, they put to sea again with a prosperous
wind; . . . Thus they arrived at Cape Cod, alias Cape James,
in November, 1620, and, being brought safe to land, they fell upon
THE PILGRIM SHIP, " MAYFLOWER " XXV
their knees, and blessed the God of heaven, who had brought them
over the vast and furious ocean, and delivered them from many perils
and miseries." (pp. 32-34), 1826 edition.
G. Cuthbert Blaxland, M. A., in his Mayflower Essays, London,
1896, p. 45, says : " What is the authority for the names of the two
Pilgrim Ships of 1620?" He answers correctly as to the Speedwell
by quoting from Morton's New England's Memorial, published in
1669, but he makes an error in stating that the first mention of the
Mayflower is also by Morton, as is shown by the preceding copy of
the entry made by Governor Bradford.
The Mayflower was chartered by the Merchant Adventurers of
London to transport a part of the Leyden Church congregation to this
country. She sailed from Southampton, England, August 15 (N. S.),
and from Plymouth, England, September 16 (N. S.), and anchored
in Cape Cod Harbor, November 21 (N. S.), 1620.
The illustration, " The Mayflower," is a copy from a photogravure
reduction made by the John A. Lowell Bank Note Company, from
the oil painting, " The Mayflower," by the marine artist, Marshall
Johnson, of Boston, from the celebrated model of the vessel made
by Captain J. W. Collins, of Boston, by order of the United States
Government, and now on exhibition at the National Museum, Wash-
ington, D. C. Captain Collins was the honorary curator of naval
architecture of the museum for many years. This is the only true
and accepted model of the Mayflower.
THE MAYFLOWER COMPACT*
" The Compact was drawn up and signed on board the Mayflower,
21 November, 1G20 (11 November, old style).
" The following copy, with the introduction, is taken literally from
Bradford's History, which does not give the names of those who
signed the original document.
" The earliest known list of the signers is that contained in Na-
thaniel Morton's New England's Memorial, published in 1669. In
the first edition of that book the names are arranged in the order
here given, three columns of seven names each at the bottom of the
page, and the others in three columns at the top of the next page.
The line dividing the columns in the list appended indicates the
bottom of the page in the ' Memorial.' "

I shall a litle returne backe, and begine with a combination made
by them before they came ashore; being ye first foundation of their
govermente in this place. Occasioned partly by ye discontented,
and mutinous speeches that some of the strangers amongst them,
had let fall from them in ye ship; That when they came ashore
they would use their owne libertie; for none had power to comand
them, the patente they had being for Virginia, and not for New-
england, which belonged to another goverment with which y° Vir-
ginia Company had nothing to doe. And partly that shuch an
Acte by them done (this their condition considered) might be as
firme as any patent; and in some respects more sure.
The forme was as followeth: —
In y° name of God Amen. We whose names are underwriten,
the loyall subjects of our dread soveraigne lord King James, by ye
grace of God, of great Britaine, Eranc, & Ireland king, defender
of ye faith, &c.

[Note: The name of Damaris Hopkins (Stephen1), who mar-
ried Jacob Cooke, does not appear in the foregoing list because a
doubt has recently been raised as to her having come in the Mayflower.
In order to explain and harmonize certain apparent contradic-
tions in the early records, Mr. George Ernest Bowman, secretary of
the Massachusetts Society and editor of its official publication, The
* From The Massachusetts Society of Mayflower Descendants' Year Book,
1906, p. 7.
XXXVI BREWSTER GENEALOGY
Mayflower Descendant, constructed a theory, which he published in
the magazine, that the Damaris Hopkins who came in the Mayflower
died young; that the same name was given, as was not then uncom-
mon, to a sister born at Plymouth after her death, and that it was
this second Damaris who married Jacob Cooke.
The evidence presented in support of this theory is interesting,
although, as Mr. Bowman himself admits, the proof is not conclusive.

" the streete " in Plymouth was called First Street (later changed
to Leyden Street), and originally extended from the shore to the old
fort at the summit of what is now Burial Hill.
The " high way " led to the Town Brook, and through it the
Pilgrims brought water from " the very sweet brooke," into which
the " many delicate springs " still continue to flow.
The Pilgrims first erected a " Common House." In December,
1621, seven dwelling-houses had been built, besides four for the use
of the plantation. The houses were constructed of rough hewn
timber, with roofs of thatch and windows of oiled paper, while
the fireplaces were made of stone laid in clay, and the chimneys
stood outside the walls.
The first house at the left in the illustration of Leyden Street, is
on the site upon which the Pilgrims erected their first, or " Common
House."
In 1621 the fort was built as a protection from the Indians, and
it was also used by the Pilgrims as a meeting house and place of

Elder William Brewster's affidavit made at Leyden, June 25, 1609,
states that he was then 42 years of age. Therefore, in 1620 he was
in his 54th year.

" Out at the mouth of Boston Harbor, between the main ship
channel and Broad Sound, is a group of seven picturesque rocky
islands, called The Brewsters, and nearly two miles in length from
north to south. Near them are many submerged rocks and ledges,
some of which are full of peril to mariners, while others are famous
as fishing grounds. . . .
" Scientific persons have stated that this group of sea-swept rocks
is the debris and foundation of an ancient island, larger than any
now in the harbor, which once occupied this area, and has been
destroyed by the storms of immemorial ages. They received their
name about the year 1621, in honor of the famous Elder Brewster,
at whose home in Scrooby the primitive Pilgrim Church used to
meet, before its flight to Holland and then to America."
The principal islands in the group are known as Great Brewster,
Little Brewster, Middle Brewster and Outer Brewster. The light-
house, " Boston Light," is on Little Brewster Island. Many wrecks
occurred on these rocky ledges in former days, and there was hot
fighting on the islands in the Bevolutionary War. (See illus-
trated chapter on " The Surf-Beaten Brewster Islands," in King's
Handbook of Boston Harbor.)
" The Town of Brewster, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, was
incorporated 19 February, 1803, and was named in honor of Elder
William Brewster, a large part of the inhabitants being his descend-
ants. The town was originally the northern part of the town of
Harwich."— Brewster, Mass., Vital Records.
In 1810 the population of the town of Brewster was 1112, and in
1900 it was 829.
The majority of the descendants mentioned above are descended
from Elder Brewster through his daughter, Patience (Brewster)
Prence.
One of the great national historic paintings, " The Embarkation of
the Pilgrims," at Delfs-haven, Holland, July, 1620, bound via
England to North America, painted by Robert W. Weir, was placed
in the Eotunda of the Capitol at Washington, D. C, December 21,
1843, by order of Congress. The scene is laid on the deck of the
vessel. Mr. Eobinson, the pastor, is making the parting prayer just
before her departure, Elder Brewster is holding the open Bible, and
Governor Carver, Mr. Bradford and their wives form the center
group of the picture.

A copy of this painting, executed by Edgar Parker, of Boston, is
in Pilgrim Hall, Plymouth, Mass.
Another picture of " The Embarkation of the Pilgrims," forms
one of the eight large frescos, by E. W. Cope, of famous incidents
of English history, which line the Peers Corridor in the Houses of
Parliament, London, England.
In the fresco decorations of the President's Eoom, in the Capitol
at Washington, by Constantino Brumidi, Elder Brewster- is painted
as typifying " Eeligion."
The Brewster Chest, which traditionally, was brought in the
Mayflower by Elder William Brewster, descended to his great, great
grandson, Joseph5 Brewster (Nathaniel41, William?, Love2, William})
of Duxbury, Mass., who married Jedidah White. Their daughter,
EuthB Brewster, married Samuel Sampson, and about 1802 Mr. and
Mrs. Sampson moved to Chester, Mass., carrying the chest with them.
Mrs. Sampson died, and having no children Mr. Sampson went, March
5, 1819, to live in the family of his friend, Plin Day, of Chester,
and they executed an agreement by which Sampson gave Day the use
of his farm during his (Sampson's) life, and Day agreed to provide
for Sampson during his (Sampson's) life, give him proper burial
and set a gravestone for him. Sampson died in 1822 aged 82 years,
10 months and 2 days, and left the Brewster chest, with his other
effects, to Day. Mr. Day sold the chest Nov. 14, 1844, to Eev.
Thomas Eobbins, of Hartford, Conn., librarian of the Connecticut
Historical Society, for twenty-five dollars, Dr. Eobbins making the
purchase for the Society, and it has remained in the Society's rooms
since that time.
The above is from manuscript, letters and documents written at
the time of the purchase. The statements are also confirmed by an
affidavit made a few years ago by a daughter of Plin Day. The
tradition of it being a Mayflower chest has come down in several
separate lines of the Brewster family.
Pilgrim Hall, at Plymouth, Mass., was erected in 1824, by the
Pilgrim Society, on a site once owned by Governor Winslow, and
later by Governor Bradford. It contains many relics of the Pilgrims
and of early colonial times, among them Elder Brewster's Chair, a
gallery of valuable pictures, and a library of books relating to New
England history.

PILGRIM MEMORIAL MONUMENT AT
PROVINCETOWN, MASSACHUSETTS
On November 21st (N. S.), 1620, after a tempestuous voyage
of nine weeks, the ship Mayflower, bearing the Pilgrim company, of
which "William Brewster was the ruling elder and spiritual leader,
dropped anchor in the harbor of Cape Cod. Here the party remained
for several weeks, meantime exploring the country in search of a
suitable place for a permanent settlement.
There had been murmurings and dissensions during the voyage
among certain servants and mechanics, some of whom were overheard
to say, that upon reaching land they would use their liberty as they
desired, as the charter or patent granted to the party by the authorities
in England was for a settlement in Virginia and not in New England.
Hence, when the ship came to its anchorage in »Cape Cod harbor
the whole company was called together in the cabin and there was
drawn and signed the famous Compact — the first charter of a pure
democracy known to man.
The harbor of Cape Cod is now the harbor of Provincetown. Here,
upon an eminence overlooking a great stretch of country and
a vast waste of sea, the Cape Cod Pilgrim Memorial Association is
erecting a lofty monument of stone to commemorate the arrival of
the Mayflower and the writing and adoption in its cabin, by the Pil-
grim Fathers, of the immortal compact of civil government. Doubt-
less, it will stand for centuries, a great historic landmark and an
object lesson to thousands of incoming immigrants of .the cost and
value of political liberty and freedom of conscience.
The ■ monument will be of the Italian Eenaissance order, two
hundred and fifty feet in height, and visible for more than thirty
miles at sea. Congress has made an appropriation of $40,000, the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts $25,000, the town of Provincetown
$5,000, and the remainder of $100,000 (the cost of the monument),
has been given by private subscription. Also, each of the state socie-
ties of Mayflower Descendants has contributed a stone having an
appropriate inscription.
The corner-stone of this national monument was laid August
20, 1907, with the solemn ritual of the Masonic order, by the Grand
Lodge of Masons of Massachusetts. Honorable Curtis Guild, Jr.,

Governor of Massachusetts, spoke briefly in historic vein and intro-
duced Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, the orator
of the day. The President delivered a striking eulogy of the Pilgrims
and of Puritan character, and spoke with his customary vigor and
directness upon present day matters of national importance. Besides,
there were addresses by the British Ambassador, James Bryce, United
States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge and Congressman William C.
Lovering of Massachusetts. There was a naval reception, and salvos
of artillery greeted the day, the occasion and the officials, and thus an
imposing tribute was offered to the memory of the little band, who
once anchored their storm-tossed barque in this harbor and made
themselves immortal.
It is expected that the monument will be completed and dedi-
cated in the summer of 1909.
FIRST SETTLEMENT IN NEW ENGLAND*
In the address delivered Dec. 22, 1820, by Daniel Webster, at Ply-
mouth, Mass., in commemoration of this event, in speaking of the
manner in which the Pilgrims left England for Holland, in a stormy
night, from an unfrequented barren heath on the shores of Lincoln-
shire, a part of the little band being taken into custody, while
embarking, by mounted armed men, and the rest who had escaped, in
danger of shipwreck, he exclaims : " What are their crimes, that
they hide themselves in darkness? To what punishment are they
exposed that, to avoid it, men, and women, and children, thus en-
counter the surf of the North Sea, and the terrors of a night storm?
What induces this armed pursuit, and this arrest of fugitives, of
all ages and both sexes? This was not the flight of guilt, but of
virtue. It Avas an humble and peaceful Religion, flying from causeless
oppression. It was Conscience, attempting to escape from the arbi-
trary rule of the Stewarts. It was Robinson and Brewster, leading
off their little band from their native soil, at first to find shelter on
the shore of the neighboring Continent, but ultimately to come
hither; and, having surmounted all difficulties and braved a thou-
sand dangers, to find here a place of refuge and of rest. Thanks
be to God, that this spot was honoured as the Asylum of Religious
liberty ! May its standard, reared here, remain here for ever ! May
it rise up as high as Heaven till its Banner shall fan the air of both
Continents, and wave as a glorious Ensign of peace and security
to the Nations."
The following are extracts from Daniel Webster's speech at the
Pilgrim Festival, New York City, in 1850 (published 1853) :
Gentlemen: There was, in ancient times, a ship that carried
Jason to the acquisition of the Golden Fleece. There was a flag-
ship at the battle of Actium which made Augustus Cresar master of
the world. In modern times there have been flagships which have
carried Hawke, and Howe, and Nelson of the other continent, and
Hall, and Decatur, and Stewart of this, to triumph. What are
they all, in the chance of remembrance among men, to that little

bark, the Mayflower, which reached these shores in 1620? Yes,
brethren, that Mayflower was a flower destined to be of perpetual
bloom ! Its verdure will stand the sultry blasts of summer and the
chilling winds of autumn. It will defy winter. It will defy all
climate and all time, and will continue to spread its petals to the
world, and to exhale an everlasting odor and fragrance to the last
syllable of recorded time. . . .
Gentlemen, brethren of New England! whom I have come some
hundreds of miles to meet this night, let me present to you one of
the most distinguished of those personages who came hither on the
deck of the Mayflower. Let me fancy that I now see Elder William
Brewster entering the door at the further end of this hall; a tall
erect figure, of plain dress, with a respectful bow, mild and cheerful,
but of no merriment that reaches beyond a smile. Let me suppose
that his image stood now before us, or that it was looking in upon
this assembly. ' Are ye/ he would say, with a voice of exultation,
and yet softened with melancholy, 'are ye our children? Does this
scene of refinement, of elegance, of riches, of luxury, does all this
come from our labors? Is this magnificent city, the like of which
we never saw nor heard of on either continent, is this but an offshoot
from Plymouth Eock?
" Quis jam locus ....
Quae regio in terris nostri non plena laboris? "
Is this one part of the great reward for which my brethren and
myself endured lives of toil and of hardship? We had faith and
hope. God granted us the spirit to look forward, and we did look
forward. But this scene we never anticipated. Our hopes were on
another life. Of earthly gratifications we tasted little; for human
honors we had little expectation. Our bones lie on the hill in Ply-
mouth churchyard, obscure, unmarked, secreted, to preserve our
graves from the knowledge of savage foes. No stone tells where we
lie. And yet, let me say to you who are our descendants, who possess
this glorious country and all it contains, who enjoy this hour of
prosperity and the thousand blessings showered upon it by the God
of your fathers, we envy you not, we reproach you not. Be rich, be
prosperous, be enlightened. Live in pleasure, if such be your allot-
ment on earth; but live, also, always to God and to duty. Spread
yourselves and your children over the continent, accomplish the whole
of your great destiny, and if it be that through the whole you carry
Puritan hearts with you, if you still cherish an undying love of civil
and religious liberty, and mean to enjoy them yourselves, and are

willing to shed your heart's blood to transmit them to your posterity,
then will you be worthy descendants of Allerton and Bradford, and
the rest of those who landed from stormy seas on the Eock of
Plymouth.
WILLIAM BREWSTER
HIS TKUE POSITION IN" OUR COLONIAL HISTORY
By Hon. Lyman Denison Brewster *
The story of the Mayflower and Plymouth Rock is the story of the
formation of a little Separatist or Congregational Church at Scrooby,
England, its escape to Holland, its migration from thence to Ply-
mouth, and its establishment there as the first embodiment in America
of freedom in the Church and equality in the State.
William Brewster cradled the church at Scrooby, in his own home.
He devoted his means to the support of its ministers and the succor
of its members. After suffering fine and imprisonment and risking
his life for this heresy, he helped the little flock to Holland, where
his duty as elder intrusted him especially with the discipline and
building up of the Church and the preservation therein of soundness
of doctrine. This duty he successfully performed with great gentle-
ness and equal firmness. While in Leyden his arrest was sought
for publishing Protestant books for circulation in England and
Scotland.
He was in every respect the co-equal and colleague with Robinson
in all the measures for preparing the voyage to America, and shares
with Carver and Cushman the honor of procuring the requisite London
assistance.
That he drafted the Compact of November 21, 1620, in the cabin
of the Mayflower seems almost certain. That he was the moral,
religious and spiritual leader of the Colony during its first years
of peril and struggle and its chief civil adviser and trusted guide
until the time of his death is quite certain. But for his ecclesiastical
position he would have been Governor of the Colony.
So that, while it was perhaps unfortunate, as a matter of good
* An Address Delivered before the Massachusetts Society of Mayflower
Descendants, 13 February, 1902, at Boston.
The late Judge Lyman D.s Brewster (Daniel?, Daniels, john5, DanieU,
Benjamin*, Jonathan*, William^) was deeply interested in the work on
this genealogy and had expressed a wish that he might select the writer
of a biographical sketch of Elder William Brewster for this book, but as
his illness followed by death prevented the carrying out of his wish, the
paper written by Judge Brewster himself, and published in The Mayflower
Descendant, vol. iv. pp. 100-109, is reprinted in memory of him.

taste, that Rev. Ashbel Steele entitled his valuable biography " Chief
of the Pilgrims: or The Life and Time of William Brewster" —
unfortunate, since the modest Elder of Plymouth was the last man
in the world to institute comparisons with his brethren, it is never-
theless true as a matter of history that he was indeed in the fullest
sense " The Chief of the Pilgrims." And it is also true that having
the rare felicity to be both the founder of the first free Church in
America and also the founder of the first free colony in America, he
was in a sense in which no other man, not even Roger Williams (as
I shall show) can claim the honor — the first Apostle of both civil
and religious liberty on this continent.
In the light of recent research he stands out more clearly than
ever, the leading figure of the Mayflower and of Plymouth: In
the prime of his intellectual vigor, in the 54th year of his age, the
only reason why the Elder was not chosen the first Governor of the
Plymouth Colony, says Hutchinson in his History, was that " He
was their ruling elder, which seems to have been the bar to his being
their Governor — civil and ecclesiastical office, in the same person,
being then deemed incompatible." Perhaps an equally cogent reason
was that an outlawed exile would hardly be " persona grata " to the
officers of the Crown.
Some subsequent historians, not realizing that, as Judge Baylies
says, " the power of the church was then superior to the civil power,"
or the true reason of the apparent but not real subordination of the
Elder to the Governors (Carver and Bradford), have failed to give
to the heroic Elder the supremacy he deserves over each and all,
as the heart, brain and soul of the new Plymouth enterprise, without
whom it could hardly have been attempted, with whom it became the
most memorable and successful pioneer colonization on the American
continent after its discovery by Columbus.
Let me mention some of the admirable qualities of his leadership.
Not intending in the least to suggest a word in derogation or depre-
ciation of the good qualities, nay the grand qualities of those superb
fellow Pilgrims, Bradford, Winslow, Carver and Standish, I will
state briefly what he was, what he accomplished.
Of gentle birth, educated at Cambridge, a courtier before he was
twenty years of age, in high esteem with Her Majesty's Secretary of
State, treated by him more like a son than a servant, soon a member
of the English Embassy to Holland, after loyally and faithfully
serving his patron Davison who was deposed from his high position
WILLIAM BREWSTER li
by the perfidy of the Queen, he, after suffering years of persecution
in building up the Mayflower church at Scrooby, left his native land,
his position and his fortune, to be an exile in Holland and a pilgrim
in America.
A word each on his scholarship, his statesmanship, his saintliness
and his standing among the Founders of States.
First, as to his scholarship and ability as a lay preacher. It was
always known that he was a trained scholar of the greatest of English
Universities, but it remained for the late Dr. Dexter to show the
depth and breadth, the fullness and ripeness of his learning and
wisdom. Dr. Dexter wrote to me that he regarded him as the ablest
man of the first generation of New England colonists, and no man
was better qualified to give that judgment. While a persecuted
refugee in Leyden he published and in some instances himself printed
and edited both popular and erudite theological treatises in Latin
and English. While living in his log house in Plymouth, built by
his own hands, he yearly received supplies of newly published books
in Latin and English, and his library was inventoried at his death
in 1644 at four hundred volumes.
Dr. Dexter took the brief headings of the inventory deciphered
by Mr. Winsor and tracing out the books through the leading libraries
of England and Europe, restored the full titles. Sixty-two were in
Latin and ninety-eight commentaries on or translations of the Bible.
Dr. Dexter sa}7s:
" It is my strong impression that it is very doubtful whether, for
its first quarter-century, New England anywhere else had so rich a
collection of exegetical literature as this."
With such a scholar to explain the Scriptures, which was the
chief function of the pulpit in those days, it is no wonder that when
a minister who came over in 1629 was chosen to be the Plymouth
pastor, the people " finding him to be a man of low gifts and parts,
they, as providence gave opportunity, improved others as his as-
sistants." And this scholar worked with his own hands to build
his house in Plymouth, and afterwards in Duxbury, and up to the
age of nearly eighty helped to cultivate his own farm. And there
is nothing to show, says one biographer, in the records that he ever
asked for or received any salary.
But the crowning glory of this wealth of learning and knowledge
was this. For thirty years it was devoted constantly, utterly and
superbly to the people with whom he had cast his hazardous lot.
All he could learn he freely imparted to those he taught.
Hi BEEWSTER GENEALOGY
He was a scholar and preacher from the people, with the people,
for the people and to the people, and in their close companionship
of toil and danger the people did indeed hear him gladly. Of their
place of worship and order of assembling De Easiere, a wise observer
from Holland in 1627 gives this often repeated but always interesting
sketch :
He says : " Upon the hill they had a large square house, with
a flat roof, made of thick sawn planks, stayed with oak beams, upon
the top of which they have six cannons, which shoot iron balls
of four and five pounds, and command the surrounding country.
The lower part they use for their church, where they preach on
Sundays, and the usual holidays. They assemble by beat of drum,
each with his musket or firelock, in front of the captain's door; they
have their cloaks on, and place themselves in order, three abreast,
and are led by a sergeant without beat of drum. Behind comes
the Governor, in a long robe; beside him on the right hand comes
the preacher with his cloak on, and on the left hand the captain with
his side-arms and cloak on, and with a small cane in his hand; and
so they march in good order, and each sets his arms down near
him. Thus they enter their place of worship, constantly on their
guard night and day."
How much Governor Bradford, the excellent governor of the
colony for over thirty years, owed not only to the guidance, but to
the training, teaching and companionship of his old neighbor, com-
rade and life-long friend, his grateful words bear full witness. He
says of Brewster that " he was foremost in our adventure in England
and in Holland and here." John Brown of Bedford calls him " The
Great Heart of their pilgrimage." Dr. Griffis says " from the first
Brewster was the soul of the Plymouth colony."
The devout Elder was regarded with the utmost veneration and
reverence in his later years by the colonists of the eight towns into
which the little settlement of 1620 had grown. Hence I think the
popular impression of the old patriarch pictures him with the austere
severity and rigid narrowness of an old iron-sides, rather than with
the " sweetness and light " of Hampden and Milton. Nothing could
be further from the truth. Humblest and gentlest of men, his
flock almost worshipped him because they loved him and had reason
to love him, while that love was returned in full measure, and the
chronicle says of his death in which he " so sweetly departed this
life unto a better " : " We did all grievously mourn his loss as that
of a dear and loving friend."
WILLIAM BREWSTER liii
Of his personal qualities Bradford says : " He was wise and dis-
creet and well spoken, having a grave and deliberate utterance, of
a very cheerful spirit, very sociable and pleasant amongst his friends,
of an humble and modest mind, of a peaceable disposition, under-
valuing himself and his own abilities, and sometimes overvaluing
others; inoffensive and innocent in his life and conversation, which
gained him the love of those without, as well as those within. .
He was tender-hearted and compassionate of such as were in misery,
but especially of such as had been of good estate and rank, and
were fallen unto want and poverty, either for goodness and religion's
sake, or by the injury and oppression of others. ... In teach-
ing, he was moving and stirring of affections, also very plain and
distinct in what he taught . . . He had a singular good gift in
prayer, both public and private. . . . He always thought it were
better for ministers to pray oftener, and divide their prayers, than
be long and tedious in the same."
" He taught twice every Sabbath, and that both powerfully and
profitably, to the great contentment of his hearers, and their com-
fortable edification ; yea, many were brought to God by his ministrie.
He did more in this behalf in a year, than many that have their hun-
dreds a year do in all their lives." Bradford's whole eulogy of his
beloved friend and pastor is the most pathetic and beautiful passage
in his History of New Plymouth so lately restored to the State of
Massachusetts.
Next as a statesman. If the acorn is judged by the oak it produces,
he had no superior in that age of great statesmen. How far-reaching
the policy that foresaw that the refugees must leave Holland, if
they would preserve their English morals with their English freedom !
How tersely in the short Social Compact which we believe he penned,
impromptu apparently, in the cabin of the May-flower is the whole
genius of " Liberty, Equality and Fraternity " put in a few lines !
Well has it been called the " germ of all our American Constitutions
and Declarations of Eight " — " Magna Charta reinforced by the
spirit of the Dutch Commonwealth."
Professor Goldwin Smith in his brilliant little book called " The
United States Political History 1492-1871 "tells us that the. recital,
in the Compact signed on the Mayflower, of the colonists' allegiance
and fealty to King James was a great and serious mistake and
" created a relation false from the beginning," that in it " lay the
fatal seeds of misunderstanding," etc. On the contrary the mistake
is all on the side of the Professor. Not to have acknowledged that
Hv BREWSTER GENEALOGY
fealty and allegiance would have been false, and if interpreted as
seriously intended would have been suicidal. It was because they
intended to be English colonists and English freemen that they left
Holland. In all the business of procuring their charter that fealty
is assumed and this allegiance and fealty is reiterated and reaffirmed
in the Plymouth Code of 1636, of whose drafters the Elder was one.
How superior the wise, peaceful, just and courageous policy of
the Plymouth Colony in its treatment of the Indians and its fellow
colonies! And the man who always had the last word in these im-
portant matters — the Joshua and Nestor of the plantation was Elder
William Brewster. Here again see the crowning glory of his success
as a political philosopher. He put his glorious theory of Equality
and Fraternity into practice, and Liberty could not help being the
result. The first Plymouth town meeting of equal citizens with equal
rights had it in the seeds of Yorktown and Gettysburg. It was the
first clear prophecy of the Eepublic which was to extend from ocean
to ocean.
Dr. Gregory of Edinburgh in his recent work on Puritanism, cool
and judicial Scotchman as he is, sums up the consensus of historians
when he say3 " It is not too much to say that in a very real and
profound sense the Mayflower carried with her the destinies of the
world. Her crew (evidently the doctor means her passengers) were
not only the pioneers of civil and religious liberty, they were the
heralds of a faith which tested by the heroic men it has formed
and heroic actions it has produced may indeed challenge comparison
with any faith by which men have been moulded and inspired. The
struggle they were called upon to wage was a struggle for liberty
not only in the New World but in the old, and but for the planting
of Puritanism in New England the victory of Puritanism in the
Mother Country would have been short-lived, and shorn of its most
characteristic features and products." And in spite of all criticism
Bancroft states but a fact when he says that " in the cabin of the
May-flower humanity recovered its rights and instituted government
on the basis of equal laws for the general good."
Dr. Gregory in summing up the influence of the Mayflower and
Plymouth Bock, wisely and justly, it seems to me, merges and blends
the Pilgrim Separatist and the Massachusetts colony Puritans as
exerting essentially the same influence after 1630 on subsequent his-
tory, since all the Puritans of New England soon became Separatists.
Better than all, he was a saint in a church where saint worship
was abolished. Of his own sincere, devout, spiritual, religious faith
WILLIAM BREWSTER lv
and practice every day of his exiled life bore witness. But what
especially distinguished him as a religious leader in those days was
his breadth, toleration and charity. When that sturdy and heroic
heretic Roger Williams in Plymouth denounced the Mother Church
in England as Anti-Christ, pronouncing it sinful to attend its wor-
ship or to fellowship with it, the more charitable Leader of the
Pilgrims refused to go with him or to hold to any such nonsense.
In fact the spiritual descendants of William Brewster and John
Robinson were not more Jonathan Edwards and the New England
Calvinists than Phillips Brooks, Horace Bushnell, Henry Ward
Beecher and Charles Briggs. " The Pilgrims were neither Puritans
nor Persecutors " was the motto I saw some years ago written over
the spot across the street from which Elder William built his house.
But in reality the Tilgrim was, as Dr. Dexter says, " The Puritan
in the superlative degree."
John Robinson and Roger Williams are justly praised as the
fathers and apostles of religious toleration in their age. But William
Brewster was more catholic and tolerant than either, at an earlier
date.
" Paget " according to Powicke in his recent Life of Henry Bar-
rows " says that Robinson had ' tolerated ' his fellow elder < for
this long time ' in this practice " and " this practice " was the custom
of hearing ministers of the Church of England, and it is a touching
evidence of the Elder's influence on the life and belief of his beloved
pastor that there was found in the study of John Robinson after his de-
cease a treatise on " The Lawfulness of Hearing of the Ministers of the
Church of England." We have already seen how on this very point
the Elder of Plymouth was more tolerant than Roger Williams in
the new colony. The sturdy leader who surpassed both John Rob-
inson and Roger Williams in true catholicity and toleration before
1620 may well stand for the Pioneer of Religious Liberty in New
England and America.
The claim that the Elder was in the slightest degree blameworthy
in advising the Plymouth Church to accept Roger Williams' petition
for a dismissal from that church to the church in Salem will hardly
pass muster with any student of history thoroughly conversant with
the " chip on the shoulder " characteristics of the great Founder
of Rhode Island, or who has thoughtfully read Bradford's words of
tender regret at the parting — words which undoubtedly echoed the
sentiments of the Elder.
It seems to me that Dr. Gregory's criticism of the unstinted lauda-
lvi BEEWSTER GENEALOGY
tion of the intrepid Baptist by Mr. Strauss when he puts him on a
level with Luther and Cromwell is fully justified. There seems to
be a lack of historical perspective.
Easily first among the Pilgrims (for Robinson the master mind
of all was not a Pilgrim as he stayed on the other side of the seas
and is out of the comparison), how does the scholar, teacher and
sainted father of the first colony of New England stand among the
founders of States? Lord Bacon puts the founders of States in the
first rank of the Great Men of the world. It seems to me that de-
pends on the motive, and method of their achievements. Where con-
quest and greed are the motives, and treachery and bloodshed the
methods, I see nothing to admire or respect. But what colony was
ever founded on loftier aims, with more devoted sacrifice and by
more honorable methods than that which was started in position
at Plymouth two hundred and eighty two years ago. Its free spirit
has taken possession of the continent. The man whose thought
originated, whose spirit pervaded, whose presence stimulated, whose
counsels preserved that colony in its infancy can well bear comparison
with any of the famous colonizers of the continent.
It was no accident that made William Brewster the planter of a
great church, and pioneer of a great state. The long schooling in Hol-
land after the sharp persecution in England seems to have educated the
Pilgrims and their great leader to a more gracious spirit, a more
Christian sense of the relations of man to man than was possessed
by the subsequent New England colonists. There was less bigotry,
no persecution and little of the superstition and narrowness that
darkened the history of most of the other New England colonies.
The bond that kept together that immortal band through flood and
famine, pestilence and peril, was not commercial or primarily po-
litical. It was religious and spiritual. It was faith in God and
the Gospel of the Christ. And their spiritual leader full of that
faith himself, inspired his flock with his own zeal and moulded the
colony not only during his own life but for a whole generation after.
The very symmetry and perfection of William Brewster's character,
have in a sense prevented a full and just recognition of his services
to church and state.
But to my mind the entire sanity, moderation, self-restraint, the
grand common-sense of the founder of Plymouth constitutes one of
his most attractive characteristics. Too often, alas, have the re-
formers of the world, the founders of states and systems, had the one-
WILLIAM BREWSTER lvii
sided vehemence of a John the Baptist instead of sharing something
in the serene dignity and repose of the Master. Patience, humility,
indomitable fortitude, unquenchable hope, purity of life and purpose,
kindliness of heart, sympathy for the weak and poor, fidelity to the
death for all that is right, absolute abhorrence for all that is wrong,
are they not worthy human qualities although their possessors for-
sooth be termed Puritans? But these Pilgrims although Puritans
of the Puritans in their moral steadfastness, were also free in a
large degree from the narrowness, intolerance and vulgarity that have
elsewhere sometimes characterized those who held the name. How
much of this freedom must we fairly attribute to their leader and
teacher? See the effectiveness as well as the quality of his work!
In England he not only made of his home a meeting house, but he
provided its pastors and devoted his means and his life to his brethren
who sought to reform what he and they believed the unscriptural
practices of the Church established by law. When the little flock
had gathered again after their hazardous flight to Holland, not only
did his printing press at Leyden furnish to Scotland and England
exactly the English Protestant literature which the Eeformation most
needed, but his wise eldership contributed no less than the genius
of Robinson to preserve and shape a church worthy of being the
pioneer church of New England.
In Plymouth — elder, advisor, Nestor of the little band, Dr. Dexter
tells us there is every reason to believe the English books of his library
were openly accessible to all and formed in reality the first Public
Library of New England. A preacher who never had been a priest,
a pastor who had never been an ordained clergyman, he was the
fitting leader of a band of Independents who were to found a Church
without a Bishop as well as a State without a King. Opposed to
all ritualism and formalism, to any ceremonials not in their opinion
plainly enjoined by the word of God, the Plymouth Colony, under
the Elder's wise and able guidance preserved a moderation, sanity
and freedom from extravagance and superstition not always prevalent
in the other Puritan Colonies.
There have been many saints in Old England and in New Eng-
land well beloved we may believe of God and man, but how many
of his energy and of such influence on the future, who were so
free from asceticism, fanaticism, ignorance and supersition? How
many unembittered by such persecution, unnarrowed by such isola-
tion ? This " Chief of the Pilgrims " was a Puritan of the Puritans
in all that makes puritanism a power for good, for purity, for piety,
lviii
BREWSTER GENEALOGY
for valor, and a terror to evil doers, but in nothing else. The sour-
ness, the barrenness, the vulgarities of puritanism seemed left out
of Elder Brewster's composition.
And it is a pleasant thought, I am sure, for every member of our
society to realize that the more the records are searched, the more
clearly it appears that the spiritual leader of our Pilgrim Ancestors
— the transplanter of the first New England Meeting House, the
suggester of the first New England town meeting, was in everything
throughout his life, in everything we know of his thought and action,
a noble Christian gentleman.
MILITARY SERVICES OF ELDER
BREWSTER *
The first formal military organization, distinct from the civil
government, was formed February 27, (17 0. S.), 1621, Myles
Standish being chosen captain, with full authority as commandant.
(Prince's Annals, February, 1621; Palfrey's History of New Eng-
land, i. p. 176; Goodwin's Pilgrim Republic, p. 115.)
This organization included " all those able to bear arms." Elder
Brewster wa3 a vigorous man of 54 years at the time of the Landing.
He was not only a member of this military organization but he
must have acted also as its chaplain.
Elder Brewster " was in no way unwilling to take his part and
bear his burden with the rest." (Bradford's History of Plymouth
Plantation, p. 413, ed. of 1856.)
" He partook with them of labor, hunger, and watching ; his bible
and arms being equally familiar to him; and he was always ready
for any duty or suffering to which he was called." (Thatcher's
History of Plymouth, p. 293.)
" He was able to use his armor as well as his bible." (Steele's
Life of Brewster, p. 234.)
After one-half of the colonists had died in the " first sickness,"
in 1621, " Standish had under him twenty men. Imagine them
drawn up in two ranks. In the first rank are seen Governor Brad-
ford and Elder Brewster. The good Elder fights as he prays, and,
though he would far rather convert an enemy than hurt him, he would
not dream of allowing him the first fire." (Goodwin's Pilgrim
Republic, p. 189.)
" If Elder Brewster prayed for protection against enemies, he
took good care that his gun was ready and his sword sharp, so
that he might do his part toward securing the blessing asked."
(Goodwin's Pilgrim Republic, p. 110.)
Elder Brewster's two swords, his pistol, dagger and armor — head
piece and corselet, " Costlett " — are mentioned in the inventory taken
after his death. One of his swords was presented to the Massachu-

setts Historical Society in 1798. The Elder left no will. In the set-
tlement of his estate, " Jonathan, as the first born, was given his
father's arms." (Pilgrim Republic, pp. 431-32.) [See Elder Brews-
ter's Inventory and the Settlement of his Estate.]
The General Eegister of the Society of Colonial Wars, 1899-1902,
p. 576, states that Elder Brewster was " member and chaplain of the
first military company under Captain Myles Standish and served
against the Indians."
ELDER WILLIAM BREWSTER'S INVEN-
TORY AND THE SETTLEMENT OF
HIS ESTATE*

having made a will, and on 5 June, 1644, his " onely two sonnes
surviveing," Jonathan and Love, were appointed administrators of

[Plymouth Colony Deeds, I: 198]
Bradford Gov1"
Whereas William Brewster late of Plym gent deceased left onely
two sonnes surviveing viz4 Jonathan the Eldest and Love the yeonger
And whereas the said William dyed intestate for ought can to this
day appeare The said Jonathan and Love his sonnes when they
returned from the buriall of their father to the house of Mr Willm
Bradford of Plymouth in the prsence of mr Eaph Partrich Pastor of
Dux borrow mr John Eeynor Teacher of the Church at Plymouth and
mr Edward Buckley Pastor of the Church at Ma(rsh) feild and many
others being exhorted to honor their Eevrend father wth a peaceable
pceeding about the division of his estate between them. The said
Jonathan first answered for his part that although hee were the elder
yet was willing to devide lands and goods equally betweene himself
and brother. And if in case any differrence should arrise betweene
them that it might be soone suppressed said he heere are four of my
fathers deere and auncient f rends viz* mr Willm Bradford then
Govrnor of Plymouth mr Edward Winslow of Marshfeild mr Thomas
Prence of Plymouth aforesaid and Captaine Miles Standish of Dux-
borrow. And if my brother please to accept my motion whereinsoevr
we shall differ we will stand to their award wch shalbe as firme
as if it had beene done by our father &c To all wch the said
Love Brewster condiscended to the greate satisfaccion of the whole
Assembly the said freinds of his father being there also prsent
who willingly engaged themselves therein to the utmost of their
power And whereas afterward differrence arose betweene the said
brethren Jonathan and Love in divers prticulers about the late
dwelling house of their said father at Duxborrow wherein the said
Love dwelt and had donn from his marriage to that instant also
about certain accompt wherein Jonathan was made debtor to the
estate in a large sume &c Hereupon according to prmise they
lxxiv BREWSTER GENEALOGY
referring themselves to the said speciall and most intimate frends
of their said father the said Edward Winslow afterwards Govrnor
of Plymouth mr Willm Bradford mr Thomas Prence and Captaine
Miles Standish aforesaid haveing heard divers thinges alleadged
on Loves behalf to prove that the said House and half the Lands
of the said Willm belonging thereunto aswell as any other the
lands of the said Willm devided or to be devided wth an entire half
part of the estate of the said Willm was given to the said Love
and Sarah his wyfe upon a Covenant of Contract of marryage to be
due at the death of the said Willm Brewster now deceased. All wch
was offerred to be prooved legally if neede require by solemne prmise
though not in writing The said Jonath(an) also off erring to take
off upon oath the greatest prt of the said debts also &c The said
Edwa(rd) Winslow Willm Bradford Thomas Prence & Captaine
Miles Standish being well acquainted wth their said case aswell by
divers thinges heard from their revrend father in his life as by the
evedence now offerred to be prduced on both sides determyned as
followeth And first of all for the said debts wch were alleadged against
the said Jonathan the elder brother by the said Love the yonger as
aforesaid we conceive that if their father had not acquitted them
before his death yet hee would nevr have charged his Eldest sonn
wth them in regard of his greate charge of children and so beleeveing
it was donn actually or intentively or both we discharged Jonathan
of all the said debt his brother made him debtor to the estate afore-
said except foure pounds sterling wch wee award him to pay his
brother Love in consideracon of the wintering of some cattell wch
the said Jonathan had the sommering upon the division and for
the dyett of Isaack Allerton a grandchild of the said Willm w°h
he had placed wth his sonn Love to table And because hee was
the first borne of his father we gave him his fathers Armes and
also a two yeare old heiffer over and above his part of the devideables
of the said estate. And for the Dwelling house aforesaid of the
said Willm wherein the said Love Brewster resided we were so well
acquainted wth the purpose of the sd Willm now deceased and the
evidence offerred for proofe seemed to us so strong as we beleeveing
the said Willm had actually or intentively or both given the said
house to his sonn Love and Sarah his wyfe and their heires &c Wee
the Edward William Thomas and Myles awarded the said dwelling
house to the said Love and Sarah his wyfe and their heires &c to-
gether wth half the said Estate of Lands goods and cattells except
before excepted and aswell such other lands as are not yet divided

And whereas some differrence might have arrisen about the division
of the said Lands at Duxborrow mr Willm Vassell being requested
to survey the said Lands he made a division of y1 in two parts being
an hundred & eleaven acrees of upland or there abouts viz1 to Jona-
than Brewster an sixtie eight acrees or there abouts wch lay entire
together next a dwelling house wch the said Jonathan had built on
the said land by the leave of his said father and all the meddow on
that side a creeke (wch divided the greatest part of the said land)
below a Bridg on the way betweene (the) houses of Jonathan and
Love his brother And to Love Brewster fourty three acrees of upland
or there abouts adjoyneing to his dwelling house whereof thir(ty
acr)ees was cleered land and almost all in tillage the other thirteene
being woodland as it was devided in the said Plott drawne by the
said Surveighor and (mark)ed out and allowed by us except a
prcell of land about three quarters (of an acr)ee prte in the garden
of the said Jonathan and prt in a Swamp adjoyneing wherein onely
the [p. 199] said Jonathan had Water to his house as it was marked
and staked by us Also we gave unto Love Brewster all the meddow on
that side the Creek adjoyne(ing) to his land where he liveth and
also that smale prcell wch lyeth above the Bridg betweene. their two
houses before expressed And the reason wherefore we gave Love the
lesse quantitie was and is because the quallity of Loves land in good-
nes is equall to the quantitie of Jonathans as we judg And that
this is the full determinacon of us the said Edward Willm Thomas
and Myles upon the referrence aforesaid of the said Jonathan and
Love as wee are prswaded in our consciences to be equall and just
haveing to our best abillities faythfully discharged our duties towards

we have put to our hands and ordered it to be put upon the Records

THE BREWSTER BOOK
" The Brewster Book " is a very old manuscript containing records
relating to Elder William Brewster, his wife Mary, son Jonathan, his
wife Lucretia, the children of the latter and many of Jonathan2
Brewster's descendants of the early generations. The book' is now
at the rooms of the Massachusetts Society of Mayflower Descendants
at Boston.
The following are extracts from a description of the book in The
Mayflower Descendant, vol. i. pp. 1-8 :
" The first sixty pages contain copies of a commission to Capt.
John Mason, and of a license to Thomas Weston; an abstract of
the patent of November, 1620 ; directions for transporting passengers
to New England; lists of articles necessary for fitting out a fishing
vessel, with the cost of the various items; and extracts from letters
sent from New England and from Jamestown, Ya. One of these
letters was sent back in the Fortune in Dec, 1621, and the fact that
all are said to be ' from ' New England and Virginia is evidence that
the copies were made while the book was still in England. Con-
sequently it could not have come in the Mayflower. None of the
handwriting has been identified as that of Elder William Brewster,
but there are entries which seem to prove that at the time of his
death the book was a part of his estate. On the fifth of June, 1644,
the General Court appointed Jonathan and Love Brewster adminis-
trators of their father's estate, and on the eighteenth of the same
month Jonathan sold to John Bemon a number of books Which had
been a part of the Elder's library. This and other sales are recorded
in the handwriting of Jonathan on pages 61, 62 and 63, immediately
following the entries of the original owner. As these sales are the
earliest entries made by Jonathan, it is probable that the book had
come into his possession at his father's death.
"Near the end of the book, on pages 217 to 237, both inclusive,
is an extract from Campanella's De Monarchia Hispanica Discursus,
the handwriting closely resembling that of the entries on the first
sixty pages. After the marriage of his daughter Mary to John
Turner, Senior, the importance of a record of his family seems to
have occurred to Jonathan Brewster ; and he took the book, turned it
upside down, and began such a record on page 216, opposite the
extract from Campanella."

FIRST GENERATION
FIRST GENERATION
1 ELDEE WILLIAM1 BEEWSTEE. " Early Generations of the
Brewster Family/' by Mrs. Lucy Hall Greenlaw of Boston, Mass.,
in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, vol. liii.
pp. 109-10, contains the following summary of what is now known
of the principal events in the life of Elder William Brewster:
" Elder William Brewster . . . was born during the last half
of the year 1566 or the first half of 1567. The date of his birth is
determined by an affidavit made at Leyden, June 25, 1609, in which
he, his wife Mary and son Jonathan declare their ages to be respec-
tively 42, 40 and 16 years. (N. E. Register, xviii, 18-20). Bradford
says that he was ' nere fourskore years of age (if not all out) when
he dyed/ This statement agrees with the affidavit. The place of his
birth is not known, but is supposed to have been Scrooby in Not-
tinghamshire, England. His father, William Brewster, was ap-
pointed by Archbishop Sandys, in January, 1575-76, receiver of
Scrooby and bailiff of the manor house in that place belonging to the
Archbishop, to have life tenure of both offices. The parish registers
of Scrooby do not begin until 1695, and no record of Brewster's
birth, baptism, or marriage was discovered by William Paver, a
distinguished local antiquary, who held a commission for nearly a
quarter of a century to report all items that he found relating to
the Pilgrims.
" William Brewster matriculated at Peterhouse,* Cambridge, De-
cember 3, 1580, but it does not appear that he remained there long
enough to take his degree. (Brown's Pilgrim Fathers of New Eng-
land'.. 55). He is next found as a ' discreete and faithfull ' assistant
of William Davison, Secretary of State to Queen Elizabeth, accom-
panying that gentleman on his embassy to the Netherlands in Au-
gust, 1585, and serving him at court after his return, until his
downfall in 1587. After the retirement of Davison, Brewster
returned to Scrooby, where he lived ' in good esteeme amongst his

In 1590 he was appointed administrator of the estate of his father
who died in the summer of that year, leaving a widow, Prudence.*
His father was ' Post ' at Scrooby at the time of his death, and it
is said that the Elder's grandfather held the same office. (Arber's
Story of the Pilgrim Fathers, 50 ; Brown's Pilgrim Fathers of N. E.,
54). Sir John Stanhope, who became Postmaster General in June,
1590, appointed one Samuel Bevercotes to succeed the deceased
Brewster. Through the influence of Davison, however, the old
post master's son, William, was soon appointed to the office, which
he held until September 30, 1607 (O. S.).t His residence at
Scrooby was the old manor house. (Hunter's Founders of New
Plymouth, 1854, 17-18; Eaine's History of the Parish of Blyth,
129-30). In this house the members of the Pilgrim Church were
accustomed to meet on the Lord's day, where Brewster ' with great
loue entertained them when they came, making prouission for them
to his great charge.'
" The Pilgrims, attempting to remove to Holland in the latter
part of 1607, were imprisoned at Boston through the treachery of
* " His father's name was William and his mother's Prudence, and no
other child of theirs was living in 1590. His father appears to have lived
in Scrooby when this son was about five, for a William Brewster was
assessed to the subsidy of 1571, in the township of Scrooby-cum-Ranskill,
on goods valued at three pounds. Four or five years later, . . . this
William Brewster, Sr., became the Archbishop of York's receiver and
bailiff, which evidently involved residence in the manor house. We lack
proof of his origin, and the search is especially difficult because it
runs back of existing parish registers. Clearly there was in the neigh-
borhood a family of his name, and of a station making his connection
with it not improbable." — The England and Holland of the Pilgrims, 253-4.
t The office was then a court appointment. Brewster was styled the
" Post " of Scrooby, and was master of the court mails. The mails
were then only accessible to those connected with the court. Not until
1644 were they thrown open to the public. See Goodwin's Pilgrim Re-
public, 17, and Steele's Life of Brewster, 115-6.
" Some time in or, possibly, before 1588, William Brewster, Sr., the
archbishop's legal representative at the manor hous«, was appointed to
the additional office of postmaster under the Cro^n. . . . When
Brewster, the father, died, in 1590, his son took his place as post. Such
a postmaster, however, was not what the name now suggests. Letters
then sent by post usually, if not always, were government missives,
passed from messenger to messenger at each station ; personal corre-
spondence, so far as it existed, being left to go by private hand." — The
England and Holland of the Pilgrims, 237, 320.
FIRST GENERATION 5
the master of the ship that was engaged to transport them. Brad-
ford says that Brewster ' was ye cheefe of those that were taken at
Boston, and suffered ye greatest loss; and of ye seuen that were kept
longst in prison, and after bound ouer to ye assises.' Through Brad-
ford also, we learn that Brewster, after he reached Holland, suf-
fered many hardships* and spent most of his means in providing for
his ' many children.' He was not so well fitted as the other Pilgrims
for the hard labor which became their common lot, yet he bore his
condition cheerfully. During the latter part of the twelve years
spent in Holland, he increased his income very much by teaching and
by the profits from a printing press which he by the help of some
friends, set up at Leyden. At the end of that time, ' for sundrie
weightie and solid reasons/ which are duly set forth in Bradford's
History, among which f(and which was not least)' was a true mis-
sionary spirit, the Church at Leyden resolved to emigrate to Virginia.
Brewster, the Elder of the Church, who had been chosen to that
office during the Pilgrims' stay at Leyden, was ' desired ' by those
chosen to go first, ' to goe with them,' while John Eobinson, the
pastor, stayed with the majority who should follow later. Thus it
happened that we find Elder Brewster, his wife Mary and two
young sons among the passengers of that now famous vessel, the
Mayflower, which dropped anchor in Plymouth harbor, December
16, 1620 (0. S.). At Plymouth Brewster bore an important part in
establishing the Pilgrim republic, not shrinking from even the se-
verest manual labor, and ' when the church had no other minister,
he taught twise euery saboth, and ye both powerfully and profitably,
to ye great contentment of ye hearers.'
" His wife, Mary, whose maiden name has not been discovered,
' dyed at Plymouth in new England the 17th of Aprill, 1627.' (Brew-
ster Boole)* Bradford says that, though she died 'long before'
her husband, ' yet she dyed aged,' but by her affidavit of 1609 she
was less than sixty years of age and it is probable that her ' great &
continuall labours, with others crosses, and sorrows, hastened it (i. e.
old age) before ye time.' Elder Brewster survived his wife many
years and ' dyed at Plymouth in New England the 10th of Aprill,
1644.' (Brewster Booh).* . . . August 20, 1645, a final divi-
sion of the Elder's estate was made by Bradford, Winslow, Prence,
and Standish, between ' Jonathan and Loue his onely children
remayneing.' " f

* " Bradford speaks of Brewster's ' many children,' yet only six have
been discovered. If there were others, it is probable that they died
young. The Robert Brewster who matriculated at Leyden University,
May 12, 1619, se. 20, may have been related to the Elder, but no evidence
has been found that he was his son. Rev. Nathaniel Brewster, who
was graduated at Harvard College in 1642, and later was of Brookhaven,
L. I., was living at the time of the settlement of Elder Brewster's estate,
when Bradford, Winslow, Prence, and Standish declare that ' William
Brewster late of Plym gent deceased left onely two sonnes surviueing
vizt Jonathan the Eldest and Loue the yeonger.' [See Elder William
Brewster's Inventory, etc.] Edward Brewster, who appears in the list
of members of the Virginia Company as ' son of William,' was probably
the son of that William who died in Virginia in 1607. If he were a son
of Elder William, he would have been younger than Jonathan, who is
called ' eldest son ' and ' first borne,' and consequently too young to be
a member of the Virginia Company and to serve as captain of Lord
De La Warr's bodyguard in Virginia in 1610. Elizabeth, wife of Rev.
Samuel Fuller of Middleboro', is said to have been a Brewster. She
died November 4, 1713, ' very aged.' She was not a daughter of Jona-
than or of Love, and she does not appear in the division of Elder Brew-
ster's estate. If she were a daughter of Elder Brewster, the absence of
her name in the settlement might be explained by the fact that, at that
period, daughters were not heirs to intestate estates when there were
sons living. It will be noticed, however, that the name of Elizabeth
Brewster does not appear in the division of cattle, May 22, 1627 (a
month after the death of the Elder's wife), when even the very youngest
children were counted ; and also that Bradford states in 1650 that the
Elder's ' daughters which came oner after him are dead.' " — N. E. Reg.,
liii. 111.

2 JONATHAN2 BREWSTER (William1), came in the ship For-
tune in November, 1621. He " marryed Lucretia Oldham, of Darby,
the 10th Aprill. 1624." (See illustration of facsimile of pages in the
Brewster Boole.) " She was probably a sister of John Oldham, who
came to Plymouth on his ' perticular,' about 1623, and who was
called ' brother ' by Jonathan."* Jonathan Brewster died in Con-
necticut, August 7, 1659, and was buried in the Brewster Ceme-
tery at Brewster's Neck, Preston. His wife, Lucretia, died March
4, 1678-9.
Mr. Morton Dexter's recent publication, The England and Hol-
land of the Pilgrims, pages 514-15, referring to an entry made in
1610, in the Leyden (Holland) archives (Reg. van Overledenen Per-
sonen, iii. 50), says: "On Nov. 27 there was buried in St. Peter's
• a child of Jonathan William's son, living on the church street.'
If we knew that Jonathan Brewster had been married, the natural
interpretation of this entry would refer it to a death in his family,
which lived on that street ; and if the name were Jonathan William's
son Brewster, as it is on his admission to citizenship in 1617, it
would be clear that he is referred to. Jonathan was not a Dutch
name, and appears only once or twice during many years in con-
nection with Englishmen in Leyden, and with no one else likely to
have been referred to at this time. In view of the common Dutch
custom of designating a man merely as his father's son, omitting the
last name in each case, there seems no doubt that Jonathan Brewster
is meant; although no record of his marriage ever has appeared,
and at this time he cannot have been much over seventeen years old,
which renders his having been married long enough to have a child
improbable, although not impossible. On the other hand, he cer-
tainly buried his wife on May 10, 1619. (Reg. Ov. 4, 73 vers.)
He may have had an early attachment in England, and expediency
and convenience may have led to marriage, even at his early age.
Such marriages were not unknown. Dorothy May was only sixteen
when she became Mrs. William Bradford. On the whole, therefore,
* Goodwin's Pilgrim Republic, p. 274, in a footnote speaks of Jonathan
Brewster calling John Oldham "brother."
11
12 BREWSTER GENEALOGY
it seems quite certain that Jonathan Brewster had been married
and that this was his child." On page 606 Mr. Dexter states that,
while at Leyden, Jonathan lived at Pieterskerkhof, and that he was
a ribbonmaker.
" About 1630 Jonathan removed his family to Duxbury, from
which place he was deputy to the General Court, Plymouth Colony,
1639, '41, '42, '43 and '44. Thence he removed to New London,
Conn., about 1649 (admitted inhabitant February 25, 1649-50), set-
tling in that part later established as Norwich, his farm lying in
both towns. Here he was deputy to the General Court of the Colony
of Connecticut, 1650, '55, '56, '5> and '58. According to a letter *
dated Sept. 1, 1656, written by Jonathan* to his sister-in-law, Sarah,
widow of Love Brewster, he and -Mis whole family ' resolved for old
England ' the following year. It is possible that two of his sons,
William and Jonathan, did settle in England, but the remainder
of the family continued here." — N. E. Reg. liii. 112.
Winsor's History of Duxbury, Mass., p. 235, referring to Jona-
than Brewster, says : " He was frequently the town's deputy, and one
of the principal men in the formation of its settlement, and in the
establishment of its church; he sometimes practised before the Court
as an attorney, and is also styled gentleman."
The following are extracts from Miss Caulkins' History of New
London, Conn., pp. 65-6, 276 :
" Jonathan Brewster settled first in Duxbury and was several
times representative from that place. Subsequently he engaged in
the coasting trade, and was master and probably owner of a small
vessel plying from Plymouth along the coast of Virginia. In this
way he became acquainted with Pequot Harbor, and entered the
river to trade with the natives. . . . He was ' Clarke of the
Towne of Pequitt ' in Sept., 1649.
" The first town f grants to Brewster were in September, '49.
He established a trading-house with the Mogegans, at a point on
the east side of the river opposite to their principal settlement. At
this place, which is still called by his name, Brewster's Neck, he
laid out for himself a large farm. The deed of the land was given
him by Uncas, in substance as follows :
" 'April 25, 1650. I, Unquas, Sachem of Mauhekon, doe give
freely unto Jonathan Brewster of Pequett, a tract of land, being

a plaine of arable land, bounded on the south side with a great
Coave called Poccatannocke, on the north with the old Poccatuck
path that goes to the Trading Coave, &c. For, and in con-
sideration thereof, the said J. B. binds himself and his heirs
to keep a house for trading goods with the Indians.'
" (Signed by the Sachem and witnessed by William Baker
and John Fossiker).
" This deed was confirmed by the town, Nov. 30th, 1652, and its
bounds determined. It comprised the whole neck on which the trad-
ing-house stood, ' 450 acres laid out by the measurers.' Actually
600 or 700.
" No probate papers relating to his estate have been found, but
bills of sale are recorded, dated in 1658, conveying all his property
in the town plot, and his house and land at Poquetannuck, with his
movables, cattle and swine — ' to wit 4 oxen, 12 cows, 8 yearlings and
20 swine,' to his son, Benjamin Brewster, and his son-in-law, John
Picket. Feb. 14th, 1661-2, Mr. Picket relinquishes his interest in
the assignment to his brother-in-law, stipulating only ' That my
mother-in-law, Mrs. Brewster, the late wife of my father, Mr. Jona-
than Brewster, shall have a full and competent means out of his
estate during her life, from the said B. B. at her own dispose freely
and fully to command at her own pleasure.' . . .
" Mrs. Lucretia Brewster, the wife of Jonathan, was evidently a
woman of note and respectability among her compeers. She has
alwajrs the prefix of honor (Mrs. or Mistress) and is usually pre-
sented to view in some useful capa ;ty — an attendant upon the sick
and dying as nurse, doctress, or midwife — or a witness to wills and
other important transactions."
In 1637 Jonathan Brewster was a military commissioner in the
Pequot War (Winsor's Hist. Duxbury, p. 90; Peirce's Col. Lists
p. 84, and Genl. Beg. Soc. Col. Wars, 1899-1902, p. 576) ; a member
of the Duxbury Committee to raise forces in the Narragansett Alarm
of 1642 (Winsor's Duxbury p. 90), and a member of Captain Myles
Standish's Duxbury Company in the military enrollment of 1643.
(Peirce's Col. Lists, p. 75, and Genl. Reg. Soc. Col. Wars, p. 576.)
The descendants erected in the Brewster Cemetery, in 1855, a
plain granite shaft about eight feet high, to the memory of Jona-
than Brewster and his wife, Lucretia. A part of the inscription on
the monument, referring to Jonathan Brewster, says : " History
speaks of his acts," and to Lucretia Brewster there is the following:
14 BREWSTER GENEALOGY
" A noble specimen of an enlightened, heroic Christian gentlewoman."
The footstone that marked the grave of Jonathan Brewster is still
in existence and it now leans against the modern monument. It
is a small red sandstone and the inscription on it is " Mr Jona-
than Brewster/' with a well executed figure of a harp over the letter-
ing, the workmanship being superior to that found on gravestones
erected several hundred years ago. It has been said that " it may
have come from the prolific and skillful chisel of Matthew Griswold,
the first settler of Lyme, who wrought the celebrated Lady Fenwick
monument." The headstone that was erected at the grave of Jona-
than Brewster, was broken into fragments and they disappeared many
years ago.
The Brewster Cemetery is at Brewster's Neck, between Po-
quetanuck Cove and the Thames Eiver, in Connecticut. It con-
tains about one square acre and is surrounded by a substantial stone
wall, which was rebuilt in 1903, and it is now in good condition.
Many of Jonathan Brewster's descendants are buried there.

4 FEAE2 BEEWSTEE (William1), came in the ship Ann, in
July, 1623. She married before May 22, 1627, as second wife, ISAAC
ALLEETON, who died at New Haven, Conn., between February
1st and 12th, 1658-9. She died at Plymouth, December 12, 1634.
Isaac Allerton was of the Allerton family of Suffolk, England, and
was born in 1585 or 1586, " as we learn from a deposition made
September 26, 1639, in which he is described as ' Isaacke Allerton,
of New Plimmouth in New England, Merchant, aged about 53 years.' "
He came in the Mayflower, in 1620, accompanied by his first wife,
Mary Norris, and children Bartholomew, Eemember, and Mary.f
" He is named in the Leyden Eecords as being ' of London.' . . .
He was admitted to citizenship in Leyden, February 7, 1614. He
was one of the four signers of the letter from the Leyden Church
to Carver and Cushman, June 1, 1620. ... He was reputed
to have been at one time the richest man of the colony, and was
from the outset active in its affairs. When Bradford was chosen
governor, after Carver's death in the spring of 1621, Allerton was

made assistant, or deputy governor, an office which he held alone
until 1624, when the number of assistants was increased to five, and
in 1633 to seven, of whom he was one. He was one of the ' Un-
dertakers ' in 1627, and ' made five voyages to England as agent
for the colony. ... In 1632-33 he had a trading-post at Ma-
chias, which was pillaged by the French. In 1635 his fishing station
at Marblehead was burned/ "
" Isaac Allerton was the only one of the Pilgram Fathers who
became a resident of New York. . . . He was actively en-
gaged in business in the Massachusetts colonies from 1631 until
1637 or 1638. The New Amsterdam Eecords show that he was
there in February, 1639, and he probably became a resident in the
fall of 1638, thus being one of the first English settlers, . . . and
from that time for twenty years Isaac Allerton played a prominent
and honorable part in the political and business life of the Dutch
colony. During the earlier years of his life there he was associated
in business with Govert Loockermans, one of the leading and most
interesting figures in the history of those times, and it is quite possible
that he lived at Loockerman's house on the Hoogh Straet (the pres-
ent Stone Street) when at Amsterdam. He was then a widower,
the first known mention of his third wife, Joanna, being in
1644. ... In April, 1647, Isaac Allerton purchased from one
Philip de Truy the land lying between the Highway, now Pearl
Street, and the shore line of the East Eiver, which was then west
of the present location of Water Street. This strip, which was
probably not more than a few feet in width, extended from the pres-
ent location of Peck Slip southerly, nearly if not quite, to where
Fulton Street now is. At the upper end of this property, where it
appears to have been the widest and where a small bay or cove ran
into the land just north of it, he increased the width by filling in
and building a wharf, and on this he erected a large building for a
warehouse, with a smaller one adjoining it on the west for a resi-
dence, and from that time on until long after his death ' Allerton's
Buildings ' were a prominent landmark in the Dutch city. . . . All
the available evidence tends to prove that Allerton's buildings and
wharf covered nearly the site now occupied by Nos. 6, 8, 10 and 12
Peck Slip.
" Although Isaac Allerton became a resident of New Haven at
about the same time when he purchased the lands of de Truy, seats
in the Meeting House there being assigned to him and his wife
on March 10, 1646, and where he built himself ' a grand House
26 BREWSTEK GENEALOGY
on the Creek with four Porches/ the site of which, on the corner of
State and Fair Streets, has been marked with a tablet and inscrip-
tion by the New Haven Colony Historical Society, the New Amster-
dam Records show that he maintained his business and residence
there until his death, the court records showing him to have been
present in court in July, 1658. . . . Isaac Allerton continued to
have intimate and friendly relations with the Massachusetts colonies
after leaving Plymouth, a large share of the trade between them and
the Dutch passing through his hands, and he was always active in
assisting natives of New England, or even giving his personal guar-
antee for the purpose of avoiding quarrels between his countrymen
and the people of New Amsterdam.
" Great interest attaches to Isaac Allerton's connection with Vir-
ginia. For many years he had been trading there, carrying them
grain, flour, and other products of the northern colonies, and bring-
ing back the tobacco which formed almost their only crop, and in
1650 he established a plantation for himself in what is now West-
moreland County, upon the Machoatick River, now called the
Machodoc, a small tributary to the Potomac.
" He was the last survivor of those who are generally counted
the leaders of the Pilgrims. ..."
A tablet was erected to the memory of Isaac Allerton June 1,
1904, at No. 8 Peck Slip, New York City, by the Society of May-
flower Descendants in the State of New York.

Merchant Adventurers of London and the Plymouth Colony, Nov. 15, 1626.
He came to New England in 1633; was elected an assistant councillor
SECOND GENEKATION 27
Elder Brewster's family, he says : " his son Love lived till this year.
1650. and dyed, . . ." His will is dated October 6, 1650 (0. S.).
(Plymouth Colony Probate Rec, vol. i. folio 89.)* His widow,
Sarah, married after September 1, 1656, Eichard Parke of Cam-
bridge, Mass., who died there, in 1665. " The Plymouth Colony
Records show that Sarah returned to Duxbury and was living there
2/12 March, 1679/80," and the following entry is recorded in the
First Book of the Plymouth First Church Records, part iii. p. 22,
dated 1691, under the heading " members dyed "■': " mris Sarah
Parke, widow, April 26 : in her 76th yeare." She died at Plymouth
{Mayf. Des., ii. 115, iii. 192, iv. 128).
Love Brewster was admitted a freeman of the Plymouth Colony
March 2, 1635-36; early removed from Plymouth to Duxbury and
" devoted himself to the cultivation of the paternal acres in Dux-
bury, forming there with his father a family home, . . . where,
in due time, a portion of the estate became his own and his chil-
dren's inheritance." Elder Brewster's house was included in the
" portion of the estate," in which house Love and his family lived.
In 1637 Love Brewster's name appears among those who volun-
teered to serve in the Pequot War from the Colony of New Ply-
mouth (Winsor's Hist. Duxbury, p. 90, and Peirce's Col. Lists, p.
84), and he was a member of Captain Myles Standish's Duxbury
Company in the military enrollment of 1643 (Winsor's Duxbury
93; Peirce's Col. Lists, 75, and Genl. Reg. Soc. Col. Wars, 1899-
1902, p. 576).
He was grand juryman from Duxbury in 1643 (Peirce's Col. Lists,
53), and in 1645 he was one of the proprietors of the extension to
Duxbury, afterwards known as Bridgewater (Winsor's Duxbury,
348).
to the Governor of Plymouth Colony, 1634, and re-elected to the same
office every year until 1666, except 1653, and was one of two commis-
sioners appointed by the Plymouth Colony to form a confederation of
the New England Colonies, 1643. " He appears to have been the wealth-
iest man in Duxbury, being rated the highest on the tax list." " He was
a distinguished early settler and a great benefactor to the Colony."
* The date of Love Brewster's will, Octlober 6, 1650, old style, becomes
October 16, 1650, in new style. The inventory of his estate was taken
January 31, 1650, old style, which is equivalent to February 10, 1651,
new style, as the legal year then did not begin until March 25. His
death probably occurred only a few days before the taking of the in-
ventory. See Love Brewster's Will and Inventory, which follows, and

makes the date of Love Brewster's will Oct. 11, new style, instead of
Oct. 16). Also see notes, Old Style and New Style Dating, in this book.

In his will, dated Jany. 16, 1723-4, and proved March 25, 1724,
he calls himself " Willoughby Allerton, Gent of the County of West-

children Elizabeth and Isaac. He also bequeaths to his son Isaac
his " scarlett cloak with the horse furniture " and requires that his
sword be sent to England and a new blade put in, also a scab-
bard and a false scabbard be made for his son Isaac. As Hannah
Keene's first husband, John Bushrod, died Feb. 6, 1719, it is not
possible that she was the mother of Willoughby Allerton's two chil-
dren mentioned in his will.

31 Deacon WRESTLING4 BREWSTER {Wrestling*, Love2,
William1), married July 12, 1722, HANNAH, daughter of James
and Mary (Tilden)t THOMAS, of Duxbury, Mass. She died at
Kingston, Mass., August 20, 1788, "Aged 90 Years wanting 21
days " (g. s.). The inscription on his gravestone at Kingston reads:
" In Memory Of Deacn Wrestling Brewster | Who Decd Jan17 ye lEt
1767 | Aged 72 year8 4 Months & 28 days."
Deacon Wrestling Brewster lived at Pembroke, Mass., from 1722
to 1741, when he became the owner, through an exchange with
Ephraim Holmes (son of Lieutenant Holmes), of the homestead, now
called "Woodside," at Kingston, which was built about 1696, by
Major William Bradford (son of Governor William Bradford, of the
Mayflower) , for his daughter, who married Lieutenant Holmes. Dea-

FOURTH GENERATION 65
con Brewster built an addition to the little Holmes house and, when
it passed into the possession of his son, Thomas5 Brewster, he again
enlarged it by building a T. This homestead passed to Thomas' son
Elisha, and it is now occupied by the family of Elisha0 Brewster.
In 1780 a farm-hand, employed at this homestead, conceived the
idea of attaching curved pieces of wood to the legs of a common
high-back chair for the comfort of the invalid lady of the house —
the widow of Deacon Wrestling Brewster. This, the first and now
celebrated rocking-chair, is still preserved at " Woodside."
Wrestling Brewster was a farmer and cordwainer, and he served

of Hanover, Mass., born at Seituate, April 23, 1717; died at Leba-

July 27, 1797, aged 87 years, and he and his wife were buried in
Exeter Cemetery, Lebanon.
Extracts from Lot E. Brewster's MS., written in 1845 :
" At the time of, or soon after the marriage of Ichabod Brewster,
he and his wife resided at Pembroke, Mass., where they continued
until May, 1743, when they removed to Lebanon, Conn., with their
children Bathsheba, Lydia and William. This removal was con-
sidered an arduous undertaking and a hazardous enterprise, for
Lebanon was then only about a day's journey from the Indian fron-
tier of hostile tribes. The removal proved to be fortunate for
Ichabod, as he prospered in his new location. His first purchase
in Lebanon was a new farm with a small portion already cultivated,
and on which a dwelling-house had been built. To this farm he

FIFTH GENEKATION 87
later added to his possessions by other purchases of land, not only
in Lebanon but in the adjoining townships of Colchester and Hebron,
until his domain became greatly enlarged. The house he and his
family entered upon their arrival in Lebanon and in which he and
his wife lived and died, was built several years previous to 1743;
is a two-story frame building of nine or ten rooms; is in good
condition, and stands fronting the East, on gently elevated ground,
with a fine view of the meadows and cultivated fields surrounding it.
The writer has dwelt longer upon this than may be interesting, but
the reader may excuse him when informed that in that dwelling-
house he drew the first breath of life and there spent the happy days
of his childhood and youth, and this ancient homestead is endeared
to him by the fondest recollections.
" Ichabod Brewster sustained a character of integrity and all
the moral virtues that should adorn the Christian man. The benevo-
lence of his heart was exemplified in his kindness toward his parents,
who, until about 1760, resided at the ancient home of the Brewsters
at Duxbury, Mass. All the children of "William and Hopestill (Wads-
worth) Brewster had removed to distant parts of the country and
they were left alone. Old age with its infirmities had advanced
upon them and there was not a child near at hand to lean upon
for aid, when the benevolent and filial spirit of their son Ichabod
caused him to remove his parents to his home at Lebanon, where
he appropriated for their use the best rooms therein and where they
continued in comfort until their decease. This filial act ought of
itself to cause his name and character to be held in high esteem and
perpetually remembered by his descendants.
" A silver table spoon is now (1845) in the possession of Lot
Edward Brewster, which belonged to his great grandmother, Lydia
(Eandall) Barstow. The initials of her maiden name — L. E. — are
engraved on the handle of the spoon. It probably belonged to a
set that was given to her by her father, Job Eandall, at the time
of her marriage as part of her dowry. The spoon came into the
possession of her daughter, Lydia Barstow, and by her given to
her son, Ichabod Brewster 2d, and by him given to his son, Lot
Edward Brewster."
Since the foregoing notes were written in 1845 there have been
many changes. The farm does not now include the amount of land
once owned and cultivated by Ichabod5 Brewster and the house, at
Exeter, Lebanon, is rapidly decaying, as shown in the accompanying
88 BREWSTER GENEALOGY
illustration, which is a copy from a recent photograph. This is one
of the oldest houses now standing in the State of Connecticut. It
has been the home of William4 Brewster and many of his descendants
and has been owned and occupied in succession by Ichabod5 Brewster,
Ichabod6 Brewster, William Wadsworth7 Brewster and William Wads-
worth8 Brewster.
A table and chair, which, traditionally, were brought in the May-
flower, in 1620, were removed from Duxbury to Lebanon, probably
at the time of William* Brewster's removal to the home of his son
Ichabod, and they remained in the homestead at Lebanon until
recently.

FIFTH GENERATION 89
61 Captain ELISHA5 BEEWSTER (William*, William3, Love2,
William1), married September 30, 1742 (Chatham, Conn., Cong.
Chh. Rec), LUCY, daughter of Jonathan and Sibbel (Harris)
YEOMANS of Middletown, Conn., baptized September 15, 1722
(M. First Chh. Rec.) ; died at Middletown, August 15, 1775, in
the 53d year of her age (g. s.). He died at Middletown, March 26,
1789.
Elisha Brewster removed from Duxbury, Mass., to Middletown,
Conn., previous to 1742, and engaged extensively in mercantile busi-
ness in the latter place. A map of Middletown, made soon after
the Revolutionary War, represents his residence on the west side
of Main street, a little north of what is now Court street, and he
is mentioned as a tavern-keeper. His name appears as one of the
consignees of the cargo on the brig Polly from the West Indies and
bound for Middletown, which was captured by a British war vessel
in September, 1775, and taken to Boston as a prize. He was made
assistant commissioner December 17, 1776. It has not been ascer-
tained that Captain Elisha Brewster had any command in the Revo-
lutionary War, but he may have been a captain of a local train band
and received the appointment from the Colonial Legislature, which
was quite an honor in those days.

62 WILLIAM5 BREWSTER (Benjamin4, William3, Love2, Wil-
liam1), married first, at Preston, Conn., March 24, 1737, DAMARIS,
daughter of Joseph and Damaris (Rose) GATES of Norwich, Conn.,
born there, December 18, 1718 ; died at Canterbury, Conn., Sep-
tember 7, 1751; married second, at Canterbury, January 16, 1752,
ESTHER, daughter of Dr. John and Esther (Deming) SABIN of
Franklin, Conn., born at Pomfret, Conn., April 7, 1728; died at
Plainfield, Conn., February 7, 1787. "Died at Middlebury, Vt,
Mr. William Brewster, aged 88, formerly of this town." — Windham,
Conn., Herald, Nov. 12, 1801.
William Brewster removed from Preston to Canterbury after the
birth of his first child and lived there until after his second mar-
riage, which is recorded at Canterbury. He joined the church there
in 1751. He owned land in Preston, which he sold to his father
a few years after going to Canterbury. (See Freston Deeds, v. 349).
In 1752 he bought land in Windham and moved there that year.
From 1752 to 1786 there are many records of land transactions by
William Brewster, and from these records it appears that he lost
his property during the Revolutionary War. He was probably a
farmer, evidently energetic and successful until long after middle
life. He was an administrator of his father's estate. It is a tradi-
tion that after his second wife's death he lived with his daughters,
Mrs. Ely and Mrs. Stebbins, at West Springfield, Mass., and he died
while visiting in Vermont.

of Coventry, Conn., born there, May 3, 1732. She died September
8, 1786.

He served in the Eevolutionary War as captain in the 2d Eegiment
of Connecticut.
Money. . . . The Situation of these Heirs is such that we are not
able to make the Subdivision amongst them but find according to the will
and your Honour's order to be the sum of Twenty one Dollars and we
have set it out among all the Heirs of the said Mary Deceased," place
the first wife of Jonathan Strong as the daughter of Peter5 Brewster
of Coventry.
The statement that Jonathan Strong's first wife, Mary, was a daughter
of Samuel5 Brewster (brother of said Peter), of Lebanon, Conn., is an
error, as the Windham Probate Records, vi, 56, in 1798, refer to Samuel's
daughter as " Miss Mary Brewster late of Lebanon deed." See p. 75.
In addition to the researches of the compiler of this book she was
kindly assisted by Mrs. Lucy Hall Greenlaw of Boston, Mass., Mrs.
Charles C. Welch of Denver, Colo., and Mr. Frank Allaben of New York
City, in securing these records.

DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM3 BREWSTER
122 Elder TIMOTHY6 BREWSTER* (William*, Nathaniel4, Wil-
liam3, Love2, William1), married July 5, 1781, TEMPERANCE
ANDRITS, born at Pawlet, Vt., October 29, 1759; died at Ellisburg,
N. Y., December 17, 1831. He died at Ellisburg, June 28, 1848.
Timothy Brewster settled at Pawlet in 1784 and was licensed to
preach by the Baptists of that town in 1791. He removed to Ellis-
burg in 1813 and became the pastor of the Baptist Church in that
place. Later he joined the Disciples and continued preaching, and
was known as " Elder Timothy Brewster." He was also a farmer
and owned land in Ellisburg near that of his son Ephraim, who set-
tled there in 1816, and his sons Elisha and William settled on
adjoining farms, which gave the vicinity the name of " Brewster
Settlement." The cemetery there, in which he and his wife rest,
was presented by him to the community.
His son Ephraim narrated the following story regarding him.
In early youth, upon a Sabbath afternoon, Timothy Brewster and
a few ungodly friends were in an old sugar-house engaged in play-
ing cards, when suddenly the pasteboards disappeared and the most
careful search failed to find them. This was thought to be the work
of the devil and the young men were seized with consternation, re-
nounced their sinful lives and became good Christians, and Timothy
Brewster was eventually led to enter the ministry of the Blessed
Gospel.
He was a selectman of Pawlet in 1812-13, and served two short
terms as a private in the Revolutionary War.
Timothy Brewster owned a dictionary which, traditionally, had
belonged to his ancestors, William5 Brewster and Nathaniel4 Brew-
ster, and probably William3 Brewster and Love2 Brewster. See Love
Brewster's Inventory, p. 30, which includes three dictionaries.
The accompanying illustration is a facsimile of a page (the title
page has been lost), and the lining of cover of the book. The latter
has the autographs of four persons named William Brewster and
those of Nathaniel Brewster, Timothy Brewster and A. J. (W. A.

This dictionary was owned by Timothy Brewster's descendants in

then located on this land, in converting the timber into marketable
product, he was seized with a fever and died there. His family lived
at Pawlet at that time. Nathaniel Brewster became a Quaker late

OLIVER WETMORE, son of Judge Seth and Hannah (Edwards)
152 BREWSTER GENEALOGY
Wetmore of Middletown, born there, May 24, 1752, and died there,
December 1, 1798. She died July 5, 1827.
They lived in the Wetmore homestead at Middletown, which was
built by Oliver Wetmore's father in 1746. The " North Parlor "
stands as it was built — the same heavy beams are overhead in the
large, low room, the same tiny panes of window glass are used, the
curious inside shutters or blinds, the deep window seats, the buffet
in the corner beside the huge stone chimney, and the high mantel,
over which is painted on the wall a landscape, said to have been
the handiwork of a traveling artist at the time the house was built.
Doubtless, it was there that Sarah Brewster was welcomed when she
came as a bride into the Wetmore family. Many have come and
gone until the fifth generation of Sarah Brewster's descendants have
been sheltered under this hospitable roof, and may the fine old man-
sion on the hill-side continue long to make a home for worthy
descendants.
Oliver Wetmore " was a man of superior talents, intellectual at-
tainments, sound judgment, very dignified, yet accessible to all, and
unbounded benevolence was a prevailing trait." He was made deacon
of the First Congregational Society of Middletown, March 4, 1784,
and held the office until death. His wife, Sarah Brewster, " possessed
much of the generous high mindedness of her noble ancestor."

Providence, and subsequently enlisted in the land service and was
quartered at West Point. Having been captured in an engagement
with the enemy, he was confined in the prison ship Jersey, where he
suffered greatly from sickness and hard fare. [See footnote on page
245.] ... It was during the second struggle with Great Britain,
when the Duxbury coast was blockaded by the enemy's men-of-war,
that Captain Brewster and his son, Job Ellis Brewster, were captured
SIXTH GENERATION 171
while fishing beyond the beach in a pinkie. The captors stripped the
boat of all but one anchor and one sail, leaving the father to return
home as best he could and carried the son off to Dartmoor prison.
The wife and mother witnessed the capture from her attic window.
In his later years, Captain Joshua Brewster was well known as u
ship master and a rigger of vessels. He was greatly beloved and
respected."

there.
Seabury Brewster was a tanner and currier at Norwich. He served
as deacon of the church in that town.
" At the commencement of the Revolutionary War he was enrolled
as one of the i Minute Men ' of his country in the capacity of a
sergeant. The company to which he was attached, at one time suc-
cessfully resisted a hostile landing of the British fleet, the object
of which was the destruction of the property of a prominent
' rebel.' . . . He was twice taken prisoner at sea by the British,
and for a considerable time was detained on board one of the notorious
prison ships at the Wallabout near the Navy Yard on Long Island.
The sufferings of his imprisonment made so strong an impression
on his mind, that on losing his reason near the close of his life, he
seemed to imagine himself at times to be afflicted with some of
those horrors.
" Soon after the close of the war he migrated to this town [Nor-
wich] on foot, bringing his effects on his back in the true Pilgrim
style, and pitched his habitation where he remained the rest of his
days. For more than sixty years Mr. Brewster resided in this city,
and acquired for himself an enviable reputation for industry, hon-
esty, sobriety and those qualities of character which justly entitled
him to the esteem and confidence of the community in which he
lived."

Residence, Danbury. Lyman D. Brewster was fitted for
college at Williams Academy, Stockbridge, Mass.; entered
Yale University in 1851 and was graduated in 1855, being
the poet of his class. He traveled extensively abroad and
upon his return studied law under the direction of Roger
Averill of Danbury (who afterward became Lieutenant
Governor of Connecticut), and was admitted to the bar in
1858. " Mr. Brewster early attained prominence at the
bar. In 1868 he was judge of Probate and in 1870 the first
judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Fairfield County,
serving four years. In 1870, 1878 and 1879 he represented
Danbury in the lower house of the State Legislature, serv-
ing two years on the judiciary committee, also as chairman
of the committee on constitutional amendments, and as a
member of the committee on a reformed civil procedure,
whose work resulted in the drafting and adoption of the
present Practice Act. In 1880 and 1881 he was a member
of the State Senate and chairman of the judiciary com-
mittee. He confined himself closely to the practice of his
profession after 1880, and became very successful as a trial
lawyer. His most important case was the suit involving
the will of Samuel J. Tilden of New York. Appearing
for the heirs-at-law, he attacked the validity of the residuary
bequest creating the ' Tilden Trust.' The Court of Appeals
of New York, by a bare majority, held the bequest invalid,
the prevailing opinion indicating that the conclusion of the
court was based largely on Judge Brewster's brief, in the
preparation of which the best part of four years was spent.
Joseph H. Choate [ex-Ambassador to England] was asso-
ciated with him in this case. . . . Judge Brewster was
a charter member of the American Bar Association and

until his illness in 1903 had attended all of its meetings.
Since 1890 he had been chairman of the committee of the
Association on Uniform State Laws, from 1896 to 1901
was president of the National Conference of Commissioners,
on Uniformity of State Legislation, appointed by the Gov-
ernors of the various States. He particularly gave up the
last years of his life to this movement, and contributed
more than any other one man to its success. In 1901 he
wrote a series of exhaustive articles for the Yale Law
Journal and Harvard Law Review, in defense of the Nego-
tiable Instruments Act, which had been subjected to the
criticism of Dean Ames of the Harvard Law School. He
was an earnest advocate of reform in the business laws of
the country, and gave forcible expression to his views in a
paper on e A Commercial Code/ which he read before the
New York State Bar Association at Albany, in January,
1903."
There was one passage in the paper that summed up his
ideas of law reform so concisely that it is given here:
" It would be a bitter reproach to our profession if the
bar as a body failed to do their duty in this matter, failed
to do their share in making the law of the land intelligible
to the common people. Our Divine Master pronounced a
woe on the lawyers of his time, not because they were
lawyers. Far from it — Moses was the greatest of lawyers.
Law-givers and codifiers and the prophets delighted in
the law. His censure, with divine penetration to the heart
of things, was that the lawyers laid burdens on men
grievous to be borne, which they would not themselves touch
with one of their fingers, and the weight of that burden,"
he added, " was that while building the tombs of the
prophets their fathers had slain, they took away the key
of knowledge. Far be it from the lawyers of a Christian
civilization, favored more than those of any other country,
living among people where every man is a voter and a
possible law-maker, to be guilty of taking away or hiding
the key of knowledge from such a free people."
" Immediately after reading this paper, which he had
said would probably finish his work in behalf of uniformity,
he was stricken with paralysis.
230 BBEWSTEB GENEALOGY
" A loving Christian character shone all through his
life, and during his last year of rest and freedom from
activity his life became a benediction to all who came in
touch with him. He died in sleep at his home in Danbury.
" His short poems published at different times during
his lifetime show a true sense of humor and a great depth
of character. His poem ' Immortality ' was said to be his
favorite and was a representation of the true character of
the man."
Judge Brewster had long been identified with the Danbury
Relief Society, the Danbury Library, the Danbury Hospital
and other benevolent institutions, and for many years held
the office of school visitor. He was the governor of the Con-
necticut Society of Mayflower Descendants from 1900 to
1903 and was an assistant governor general of the General
Society of Mayflower Descendants.
During six years' correspondence with the compiler,
Judge Brewster repeatedly expressed his deep interest in
her Brewster Genealogy and rendered valuable assistance.
He had no issue,

Elisha Brewster served in the Revolutionary War ; " early en-
listed in a regiment of Light Dragoons, for and during the war and
served to its close as an officer. After its close he served as captain
of cavalry and brigade quartermaster. At the time of Shay's In-
surrection he volunteered his services to Genl. Shepard, at Spring-
field, and was appointed one of his aids on that memorable occasion.
Subsequently he was employed by the Government to take the oath
of the insurgents for their allegiance to the Commonwealth. While
in the army he experienced many hard fought battles, always charg-
ing into the very midst of the contest with an impetuosity and
courage which no prudence could restrain. He was a fine looking
officer, and in daring and horsemanship no one excelled him in the
army. As a civilian he retained that dignity and courtesy which so
often mark the officers of the army, and always bore with him, in
the intercourse with his fellow-men, that affability and gentlemanly
feeling which so eminently characterized his younger brother, Mr.
Jonah Brewster. He held various offices of trust in the town and
was chosen to represent its interests in the General Court in 1806."

SEVENTH GENERATION 237
They lived at " White Stone Lodge," Worthington.
" Soon after Jonathan Brewster's age had entitled him to take
a practical part in the business of the town he was chosen to fill the
most important offices in its gift. Having a good command of
language and being a sound reasoner he was often appointed by the
town to advocate its cause in differences with other towns. Before
the Board of County Commissioners he presented the interests of
the town seldom without success. In town meetings, as chairman,
he presided with confidence and dignity ; as a public speaker, though
impulsive and sometimes passionate, he was never listened to with-
out attention and respect. At seven different times he represented
the town in the General Court, where he was respected for his ability
and often honored by being appointed as chairman upon important
committees. He belonged to the Board of Selectmen a number of
years and held important town trusts till near the time of his
death. He was firm and unchangeable and of strong prejudices and
when once he had examined a subject and taken his position in
regard to it no motives could influence, no arguments persuade him
to relinquish it. He was loved by the poor for his kindness and
respected by the rich for his integrity."

Webb of Windham, born there, April 26, 1758 ; died at Perch Eiver,
Jefferson County, N. Y., April 6, 1824. She died at Perch Eiver,
April 2, 1810.
SEVENTH GENERATION 245
They removed from Windham, Conn., to New York State in 1789,
where William Webb was a sturdy pioneer, living successively at
Hoosick Falls, Floyd and Perch Eiver.
William Webb served in the Eevolutionary War, having enlisted
on the frigate Trumbull in 1777. He was taken prisoner by the
British and confined on the notorious prison ship Jersey * at the
Wallabout on Long Island in the winter of 1779-80, and suffered
indescribable horrors. When a ship, on which he was a captive, was
burning he assisted in removing sick prisoners, and while in the
hold searching for others every man and boat left and he was forced
to escape on a cake of floating ice. The Tories soon picked him up
and drove him back to the vessel with blows from their boat-hooks,
declaring they would " burn the rebel," and they never knew that
they had failed. The ship was now in full blaze, but on the opposite
side a man, in a skiff, took him off and conveyed him to another
ship, where he remained with the other prisoners until he was
exchanged.

* " The Jersey, . . . was placed in the Wallabout, and used as a
prison ship till the close of the war, when she was left to decay on the
spot where her victims had suffered. . . . The large number confined
in the Jersey, sometimes more than a thousand at a time, and the terrible
sufferings which occurred there, have made her name pre-eminent, and
her history a synonym for prison ships during the war." — Lossing's Field

252 BREWSTER GENEALOGY
died in Louisiana, August 18, 1852. He died at Washington, D. C,
July 9, 1850, and was buried near Louisville, Ky.
" In 1808 Zachary Taylor was appointed a lieutenant of infantry
and in 1810 promoted to captain. In 1812 he was appointed to the
command of Fort Harrison, near the present city of Terre Haute,
Ind., which he defended with his troops from the attack of a large
force of Indians, for which he was brevetted major. He served
in the Black Hawk War of 1832, and in 1837 was given full com-
mand in Florida, where he defeated the Indians in the battle of
Okechobee, thereby putting an end to the Indian War. In 1840 he
was given command in the Southwest. When Texas was annexed
he marched to Corpus Christi. In 1846 he was ordered to the Eio
Grande, the Mexican invasion having been already planned. He estab-
lished a camp opposite Matamoras. The Mexicans claimed that the
Nueces was the actual Texas boundary, and the Mexican commander
ordered Taylor to withdraw. Acting under orders from his govern-
ment, he refused. Fearing his base of supplies at Point Isabel would
be cut off, Taylor marched for that place. On the way he was at-
tacked, and won the two victories of Palo Alto and Eesaca de la
Palma, on two successive days. Having been ordered to send his
best troops to reinforce General Scott, he won the victory of Buena
Vista, nevertheless, in 1847, with a force much inferior to the
enemy's."
This victory created the greatest enthusiasm, and General Taylor,
popularly called " Old Eough and Eeady," was nominated in 1848,
by the Whig party for the presidency, and triumphantly elected the
twelfth President of the United States. He was inaugurated March
4, 1849, and died sixteen months later.

284 Doctor OLIVER7 BREWSTER* (Wadsworth*, Oliver6, Wil-

* The greater part of the records of descendants of Oliver? Brewster
was communicated by Dr. Oliver B. Taylor, Hartford, Conn.

Peru)., Mass., May 27, 1781, JERUSHA, daughter of Henry * and
Mary (Langdon) BADGER of Partridgefield, born there, September
9, 1759; died at Lenox, Mass., November 21, 1841. He died at
Becket, Mass., February 15, 1812.
Oliver Brewster was the first physician of Becket. He was a
surgeon in the Eevolutionary War in a regiment from Berkshire, and
was at Stone Arabia, N. Y., under Colonel John Brown of Pittsfield,
Mass., in 1780.
" His labors in his profession were indefatigably faithful and
successful. In most instances, particularly in acute diseases, his
practice was eminently successful. Beneficence was a well known
trait in his character. This was experienced by his patients to whom,
when poor, he was not only a physician but a father, relieving their
wants to the extent of his ability. His professional charges were
remarkably moderate and his collection of them from persons of
humble means — if collected at all— was in the most favorable way
possible. His worldly prosperity was due to his industry and econ-
omy of time. Decision and determination were indeed character-
istics of the man. In his family his fidelity as a Christian father
was remarkable and exemplary. He stood as a pillar in the church,
in which he was deacon."
The accompanying illustration was the home of Dr. Oliver Brew-
ster at Becket, probably built by him, and in 1787, as that year is
marked on the chimney. It is said to have been the finest house
in Becket in its day. It is still standing and in good condition.

In 1809 Elias Brewster settled at Mexico, Oswego Co., 1ST. Y.,
where he lived until his decease. " During most of that time he
held a public office, as town clerk, justice of the peace, supervisor,
county treasurer, county judge and member of the Assembly. All
of these offices he filled with ability, honesty and integrity. He was
an easy and gifted public speaker and could present his thoughts
with so much clearness, logic and pathos as to carry an audience
to the same concluding point where he arrived. . . . He united
with the First Presbyterian Church of Mexico in 1832 and soon after
was chosen a ruling elder, which office he held until death, per-
forming his duties in a faithful and satisfactory manner. . . .
He was a judicious, examplary and useful Christian man."

SEVENTH GENERATION 293
until 1811, when he and his wife removed to Rochester, N. Y., and
became early pioneers of that town. " Nothwithstanding the ex-
posures incident to a pioneer physician's life in swamps and forests
he continued in the practice, of his professional duties with unusual
activity during a period of fifty-three years and until within a few
months of his death. Of a retiring disposition he shrank from that
prominence in public life to which he might easily have risen, pre-
ferring the quiet and unostentatious practice of the profession he
loved and adorned. Still he was widely known and highly appre-
ciated, not merely for his professional character but also for those
qualities of mind and heart which endeared him to his intimate
friends."
He was a surgeon in the War of 1812, being in active duty at Fort
Erie, Lundy's Lane and other battles.

294 BREWSTER GENEALOGY
Lot E. Brewster was born in the old homestead at Lebanon, Conn.,
and lived there until manhood. He derived his first name from
his grandfather's brother, Dr. Lot Brewster, and was baptized " Lot
Edward " at Christ Episcopal Church, Hartford, Conn., May 7, 1812.
There is a tradition that he attended a New England college, but it
is possible that he was a pupil at Bacon Academy, Colchester, Conn.,
and later continued his studies. He was a scholarly man and spoke
the French language fluently. After teaching school for a short
time in the vicinity of Lebanon he was employed by his brother-in-
law, Nathan Morgan, a prominent merchant at Hartford, who was
engaged in the West India trade, and he remained with him for
several years. Previous to his marriage Mr. Brewster removed to
Brooklyn, N. Y., where he was a merchant until 1831, when he
with his wife and two children removed to Cincinnati, and was a
merchant there for many years. " Shortly after becoming a resident
he was identified with the interests of Cincinnati, and was highly
respected as an upright and useful citizen and an enterprising and
efficient business man. For many years he was a member of the
City Council and presided over that body [an honor in those days],
and the city is largely indebted to the measures he organized and
to the indefatigable and earnest spirit and energy with which he
habitually discharged his duties."
Mr. Brewster was one of the founders and the senior warden
of Grace Episcopal Church at Cincinnati. The meeting for its
organization and many of the services, previous to the erection of
the church edifice,* were held at his residence.
In 1845 Mr. Brewster was elected a member of the New England
Historic Genealogical Society at Boston, Mass. He was a charter
member of the New England Society of Cincinnati, " an institution
to which he, from its organization, devoted much of his zeal," and
served in various offices, being president at his decease.
" Lot E. Brewster was recognized as a worthy representative of his
noble and illustrious ancestor, Elder William Brewster." It was his
manuscript which led his granddaughter to compile this Brewster
Genealogy. See Preface.
The accompanying portrait is reproduced from a water color,
painted by Pariser, in New York City, May 1, 1816, and is the only
portrait extant of Lot Edward Brewster.

SEVENTH GENERATION 299
April of same year was called to the position of li-
brarian of the State of Connecticut, which he held until
his decease. His life work was done as State librarian
or in historical and legal studies connected with his
duties there, and in that capacity he served the State
for forty-five years, a longer time than any other official
of either the Colony or the State of Connecticut with the
exception of George Wyllys, who was the secretary of
the Colony and the State from 1734 to 1794. While
in his charge the State Library was made one of the
best collections of Law Eeports and Statute Law in the
land. He edited the New Haven Colony Records, 1638-
1665, and the Connecticut Colonial Records. The value
of these publications, sixteen large octavo volumes, is
beyond calculation, and the work has been so carefully
done that it is hardly possible that any part of it will
need to be done again. Some of his other publications
are Goodwins Genealogical Notes, edited in 1856, An-
nals of Christ Church, Hartford, to 1828, and communi-
cations addressed to the Courant and other journals.
The results of a large part of his investigations remain
unpublished." He was a member of many historical

371 EEBECCA7 BEEWSTEE (Simon6, Simon5, Benjamin11,
William3, Love2, William1), married at Preston, Conn., September
18, 1814, Deacon JOHN HUMPHEEY, son of James and Jean
(Fisher) Humphrey of Londonderry (now Derry), N. H., born there,
January 12, 1786, and died there, April 14, 1867. She died at
Derry, November 12, 1871, aged 92 years.
In 1815 John Humphrey purchased a farm along " The West
Eunning Brook " in Derry (which is a portion of the larger tract
called Londonderry), at the spot where, in 1719, the sixteen Scotch-
Irish pioneers spent the first winter in a " common house " and
planted a " common field " and then brought their families from
Newburyport, Mass. In 1818 he was chosen ruling elder in the First
Church of Derry and for more than fifty years he fulfilled the duties
of the office, a part of which time he was also Sabbath-school super-
intendent. He was a joiner and housebuilder by trade, and his
education was obtained at the schools in Derry and by his own
exertions. He was a great lover of books, always keeping in touch
with the standard works of the day, and enjoyed the reading of
physics, theological works and especially the Bible. He was a devoted
and exemplary Christian, and Sabbath desecrations and neglect of
the sanctuary he regarded as heinous sins. He was a man of great
weight of character, of perfect self command and of imposing pres-
ence, being over six feet in height. Because of his sound practical
judgment his opinion was repeatedly sought for deciding many im-
portant questions, and he was always accessible to the unfortunate,
giving his time and personal help.
Eebecca Brewster possessed great vitality, and of a nervous tem-
perament her life was one of high tension. Her sprightly sayings
and strong, sensible views of life gave her prominence in the com-
munity. The household furnishing was largely the product of her
own spinning and weaving for " she sought wool and flax and worked
willingly with her hands, looking well to the ways of her household
and eating not the bread of idleness." Married at thirty-five, within
six years four sons were born, two of whom she outfitted for college
340 BREWSTER GENEALOGY
and theological seminary. With scarce any outside help, she carried
on her household affairs to the age of ninety-two, and she led a class
of ladies in the Sabbath-school until she was eighty-five years of age.

i Henry Brewster8, b. Sept, 11, 1815; d. at Derry, Aug.

Southington, Conn., September 29, 1850.
They lived at Preston. Moses Hillard was a sea captain, an
adventurous, energetic man of no small fame in his day. He was
master of the ship that brought to America the first news of the
burning of Moscow.
" It is an interesting fact, . . . that when Napoleon, after his
overthrow at Waterloo, thought of flying to this country, friends of
his sought and were pledged the aid of Captain Hillard, then in
France, in carrying out the design. It was fully arranged between
him and them that the emperor should be concealed in a water cask
on his vessel's deck and so escape through the English fleet, but
for some reason he was not conveyed on board."

381 Honorable JAMES7 BEEWSTEE (Joseph6, Simon5, Benja-
min41, William5, Love2, William1), married at New Haven, Conn.,
September 18, 1810, MAEY HEQUEMBOUKG- of New Haven,
whose father was a French Eevolutionary soldier. She died at New
Haven, in 1867. He died at New Haven, November 22, 1866, and
he and his wife were buried there.
Soon after the death of his father James Brewster apprenticed
himself as a mechanic, and by his skill and high principle won the
esteem of his employer. In 1809 Mr. Brewster started for New York
to seek his fortune, but, while passing through New Haven, he
strolled into a carriage shop, accepted an engagement which was
offered him and thus, by an apparent accident, began a career which,
for more than a half century was identified with the progress of
the Elm City. He became, as was said at his death, " the pioneer
of the carriage business."
Although Mr. Brewster had no schooling in his youth, save that
of a common school, he was always deeply interested in educational
matters. He founded the Mechanics' Institute of New Haven, pro-
viding for courses of popular lectures on science, etc., by Professor
Benjamin Silliman and others of the faculty of Yale College. Thus
350 BREWSTER GENEALOGY
he anticipated the principles of modern " University Extension."
He also purchased and presented to Yale College a Miner alogical
Cabinet; built and endowed the New Haven Orphan Asylum, at
a cost of over $20,000, and, moreover, he made himself the personal
friend of all the children in the institution. When the Civil War
broke out he was an ardent supporter of the Union and fitted out,
at his own expense, a company of volunteers. Mr. Brewster furnished
most of the funds for publishing the book Chief of the Pilgrims, or
Life and Time of William Brewster. He was one of the first direc-
tors of the New Haven and Hartford Eailroad Company and for its
success he risked nearly his entire fortune. He served one term as
mayor of New Haven.
During the hours of the funeral services of Mr. Brewster places
of business were closed by common consent and citizens displayed
their flags at half-mast. The New Haven Palladium of November
26, 1866, at the close of a long article upon his funeral obsequies,
says : " Thus has gone to rest one of the best citizens New Haven
or any other city ever had. ' He, being dead, yet speaketh, his deeds
do follow him/ Hundreds about our city called him blessed, and
a hundred households are happier and better to-day for his having
lived. The public blessings, which he was instrumental in obtaining,
are lasting mementos to his worth — more enduring than tablets of
stone or graven memorials of ever-during brass."

Dows. Res. New York City and Cazenovia. In 1849 Mr.
Brewster went to California, where he engaged in mer-
cantile and other western enterprises for twenty-five years,
and amassed a fortune. In 1874 he returned East to reside
352 BREWSTEE GENEALOGY
permanently, making his home in New York City. Some
of the greatest financial movements were more or less the
work of his genius. He was prominently identified with
the building of the elevated railways of New York City
and was also a leader in many large railroad transactions,
one of the most important being the reorganization of the
Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha railroads. At
the time of his death he was vice president of the Chicago,
Eock Island and Pacific Eailway Company and a heavy
stockholder and director in the Chicago and Eastern Illinois
Eailway Company, the Delaware and Hudson Canal Com-
pany and other large enterprises. He was also a director
in the International Navigation Company — owner of the
American line of steamers. He was a member of the Metro-
politan, Union League and Eiding Clubs, the New England
Society, American Museum of Natural History and of the
American Geographical Society. Mr. Brewster inherited
many of the noblest traits of his ancestors and he illus-
trated by precept and example the virtues which have char-
acterized the best of the New England race, viz., integrity,
perseverance, benevolence, deep religious feeling, courage
of convictions, and love of letters, art and nature. In
1891 he erected a handsome summer residence at the foot
of Cazenovia Lake, N. Y., and named it " Scrooby," in
honor of the ancestral English manor house of Elder Wil-
liam Brewster. Clin., 4, 7 b. at Cazenovia, 5 New York, 6

415 OLIVE7 HOLMES (Thomas6 Holmes, Joseph5 Holmes,
Mary4" Brewster, Wrestling3, Love2, William1), married at Kingston,
Mass., March 27, 1822, UEIAH7 BAETLETT, Jr., son of Uriah0 *
and Susanna ( Cooke) f Bartlett of Kingston, born there, July 23,
1789 ; died at Buffalo, N. Y., August 2, 1883. She died at Kings-
ton, June 21, 1850.
In early days Uriah Bartlett, Jr., owned and sailed, with his
brother, Peleg Bartlett, a vessel called the Harmony. He was the
only one of his father's twelve children who resided in his native
town, Kingston. Here he lived until ninety-two years of age, when
failing strength induced him to make his home with his son, Dr.
Frederic W. Bartlett, at Buffalo, K. Y., at whose home he died, in
his ninety-fifth year.
Mr. Bartlett was the authority for the whole town of Kingston
on matters occurring during nearly a century, and the information
procured from him in practically every instance is verified by the
records. As a boy he had talked with the venerable Ebenezer Cobb
of that town, who was born in 1694 and died in 1801, aged one
hundred and seven years and eight months, and who told him that
in his own boyhood he had known Peregrine White, who was born
on the Mayflower, in 1620, and died in 1704.
The grave of Mr. Bartlett is decorated on Memorial Day by the
G-. A. E. Post at Kingston, as he was one of the military guard at
the Gurnet in Plymouth Harbor in the War of 1812, when the
Atlantic coast was blockaded by the British. In February, 1812,
he was returning from the South on a merchantship which, with
four other vessels, was captured by the British, but the prisoners
were given one vessel and released.

living at the time of his daughter Alethea's marriage.

dence Brooklyn.
Joseph K. Brick was a civil engineer. " He won a
lasting name for himself in connection with the inaugura-
tion of many public improvements, including the intro-
duction of gas and water. He also built the first gas works
used in Buffalo and Philadelphia, and constructed the
waterworks in Savannah, G-a., and long before his death
he became one of the leading men in the public life of
Brooklyn.
" Bereft in early life of her husband and sons, Mrs.
Brick had large responsibilities thrust upon her in the
conduct and final settlement of the interests which her
husband had built up, and in the disposition of the ample
fortune which fell to her management. That she man-
aged her trust wisely and beneficently many, if not most,
of the charitable institutions of Brooklyn can testify, to
whose current expenses and permanent endowment she
contributed with generous hand. She has written her
name indelibly in the life of the Brooklyn City Mission,
the Seney, the Memorial, the Maternity, and other hos-
pitals, the Diet Dispensary, the Home for Aged Colored
People, and many other beautiful charities. Her latest
and perhaps her greatest work was the founding of the
Joseph K. Brick Agricultural, Industrial and Normal
School for Colored Boys and Girls, near Enfield, 1ST. C.
To this institution she gave eleven hundred acres of land
and an outfit of substantial, commodious and well equipped
EIGHTH GENERATION 497
buildings, and during the last months of her life she was
engaged in erecting an additional dormitory for boys, and,
with the assistance of a sympathetic friend, a beautiful
chapel for the use of the institution.
" Mrs. Brick was for many years a faithful member
and liberal supporter of the Clinton Avenue Congrega-
tional Church, in whose missionary work she always took
an active and prominent part. A woman of rare sim-
plicity and common sense, indomitable courage, fine feel-
ing, unselfish spirit, she passed away full of years and
honor, leaving as the richest legacy of all an illustrious
example of faith, love and good works."

557 THERON DANIEL8 BREWSTER (Daniel7, Daniel6, John5,
Daniel*, Benjamin3, Jonathan2, William1), married first, at Peru,
111., January 25, 1844, PHEBE A. MANN, born in Pennsylvania,
and died at Peru, January 22, 1849; married second, at Peru, May
20, 1850, MARGARET, daughter of Henry and Arabella (New-
man) JONES of Pittsburg, Pa., born there, January 28, 1830. He
died at Peru, March 2, 1897.
Theron D. Brewster attended the academy at Westfield, Conn. In
1835 he located at Peru, 111., commenced trading in real estate, and
the same year he laid out " Ninawa Addition " to the city of Peru.
From 1843-46 he engaged in mercantile business, and "then began
EIGHTH GENERATION 503
dealing in grain, and built a large warehouse on the bank of the
Illinois River, where he carried on an extensive business. . . .
At the end of five years he rented his warehouse and engaged in
the dry-goods business for several years. In 1856 he sank the Peru
Goal shaft, which was owned by a stock company, of which Mr.
Brewster was president, and the shaft was worked about seventeen
years. He then became connected with the Peru Plow Company,
which he managed until 1882, when it was organized as a stock
company, and Mr. Brewster was one of the principal stockholders.
After the organization of this company he retired from active business.
." Mr. Brewster served as the first mayor of Peru, being elected in
1851, and was re-elected in 1852 and 1854. He was treasurer of
the School Board for eight years and in 1838 was town trustee. He
held the office of president of the old Peru Bank during its entire
existence — from 1853 to 1880. He was one of the first directors
of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad Company; was
a member of the executive committee and one of the principal men
in working up the enterprise."
In 1841 Mr. Brewster presented a stone church to the Presbyterian
congregation at Peru, which, in 1853, changed to Congregational, and
he was a liberal supporter of that church.
What is known as the " Ninawa Addition," upon which most of the
business part of Peru is now situated, was originally owned by
Lyman D.7 Brewster (uncle of Theron D.), Theron D. Brewster,
Pelatiah Brewster,* Calvin Brewster,* and four others.
