Encyclopedia
Elder William Brewster was a Mayflower
passenger and a Pilgrim colonist leader and preacher.
, Yorkshire
, England
, circa 1566/1567, although no birth records have been found, and died at Plymouth, Massachusetts on April 10, 1644 around 9- or 10pm. He was the son of William Brewster and Mary (Smythe) (Simkinson) and he had a number of half-siblings. His paternal grandparents were William Brewster and Maud Mann. His maternal grandfather was Thomas Smythe.
Brewster was raised in Scrooby
, north Nottinghamshire
. In the seventeenth century Scrooby Manor was in the possession of the Archbishops of York. Brewster's father, William senior, had been the estate bailiff for the archbishop for thirty-one years from around 1580. With this post went that of postmaster
, which was a more important one than it might have been in a village not situated on the Great North Road, as Scrooby was then.

before entering the service of William Davison in 1584. In 1585, Davison went to the Netherlands
to negotiate an alliance with the States-General. In 1586, Davison was appointed assistant to Queen Elizabeth's
Secretary of State Francis Walsingham
, but in 1587 Davison lost the favour of Elizabeth, after the beheading of her cousin (once removed) Mary, Queen of Scots.
, whose maiden name and parentage have not yet been proven; it has been speculated that it could be either Wyrall or Wentworth, but there is no compelling evidence for either assumption. She was probably born in England circa 1568-1569. She 'dyed at Plymouth, Massachusetts on April 17, 1627.' (Brewster Book).* 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 (t. a. old age) before y* time.'

.)
On Davison's disgrace, Brewster returned to Scrooby. There, from 1590 to 1607, he held the position of postmaster. As such he was responsible for the provision of stage horses for the mails, having previously, for a short time, assisted his father in that office. By the 1590s, Brewster's brother, James, was a rather rebellious Anglican priest, vicar of the parish of Sutton cum Lound, in Nottinghamshire. From 1594, it fell to James to appoint curates to Scrooby church so that Brewster, James and leading members of the Scrooby congregation
were brought before the ecclesiastical court for their dissent. They were set on a path of separation from the Anglican Church. From about 1602, Scrooby Manor, Brewster's home, became a meeting place for the dissenting Puritans. In 1606, they formed the Separatist Church of Scrooby.
without permission was illegal at the time, so that departure was a complex matter. On its first attempt, in 1607, the group was arrested at Scotia Creek
, but in 1608 Brewster and others were successful in leaving from The Humber
. In 1609, he was selected as ruling elder of the congregation.
Initially, the Pilgrims settled in Amsterdam and worshiped with the Ancient Church of Francis Johnson
and Henry Ainsworth
. Offput by the bickering between the two, which ultimately resulted in a division of the Church, the Pilgrims left Amsterdam and moved to Leiden after only a year.
In Leiden, the group managed to make a living. Brewster taught English and later, in 1616-1619, as the partner of one Thomas Brewer, printed and published religious books for sale in England, though they were proscribed there. In 1619, the printing type was seized by the authorities under pressure from the English ambassador, Sir Dudley Carleton, and Brewster's partner was arrested. Brewster escaped and, with the help of Robert Cushman and Sir Edwin Sandys, obtained a land patent from the London Virginia Company on behalf of himself and his colleagues.
In 1620 Brewster joined the first group of Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower on the voyage to North America
. Brewster was accompanied by his wife, Mary Brewster, and his sons: Love Brewster and Wrestling Brewster. Travelling with the family were two children: Richard More
and his sister Mary. Until relatively recently the children were thought to be orphans or foundlings adopted by the separatists, but, in the 1990's, it was conclusively shown that they were sent to America because they were illegitimate, and the source of great controversy in England. It is not known whether Brewster knew anything about the children's background.
When the colonists landed at Plymouth
, Brewster became the senior elder of the colony, serving as its religious leader and as an adviser to Governor William Bradford
. Brewster's son Jonathan joined the family in November 1621, arriving at Plymouth on the ship Fortune, and daughters Patience and Fear arrived in July 1623 aboard the Anne.
As the only university educated member of the colony, Brewster took the part of the colony's religious leader until a pastor, Ralph Smith, arrived in 1629. Thereafter, he continued to preach irregularly until his death in April 1644.
Brewster was granted land amongst the islands of Boston Harbor
, and four of the outer islands (Great Brewster
, Little Brewster
, Middle Brewster
and Outer Brewster
) now bear his name. In 1632, Brewster received lands in nearby Duxbury and removed from Plymouth to create a farm there.
Brewster died in 1644 and was likely buried in Plymouth, possibly upon Burial Hill
; however his place of burial is unknown.

Dissent
Cambridge was a centre of thought concerning religious reformism, but Brewster's time in the Netherlands, in connection with Davison's work, gave him opportunity to hear and see more of reformed religion. While, earlier in the 16th century, reformers had hoped to amend the Anglican church, by the end of it, many were looking toward splitting from it. (See BrownistBrownist
