"ELDER WILLIAM BREWSTER, the progenitor of the Allerton family in America , was born during the last of 1566 or the first half of 1567. The date o f his birth is determined by an affidavit made in Leyden, Holland, June 2 5, 1609, in which he, wife Mary, and son Jonathan, declare ages to be res pectively 42, 40, 16. Bradford says: (N. E. H. & G. Reg. Vol. 18,pp. 18 t o 20.) He was 'nere foreskore years of age (if not all out) when he dyed. ' The statement agrees with the affidavit. He was born in Scrooby, North amptonshire, England. "His father, William Brewster, was appointed b y Archbishop Sandys, Bishop of York, in January, 1575-6, receiver of Scro oby and bailiff of the Manor House in that place, belonging to the Archbi shop, and to have a life term of both offices. The Manor House was the s ame in which Cardinal Woolsey had made his last stop, Before reaching hom e, on his final journey, on compulsory retirement from Court, after banis hment by King Henry VII, thirty years earlier. "The parish register o f Scrooby does not begin until 1695, and record of William Brewster's bir th, baptism or marriage has been found. He matriculated at Peterhouse, C ambridge, December 3, 1580, But it does not appear that he remained lon g enough to take his degree. He is next found as a 'discreete and faithf ull' assistant of William Davison, Secretary of State to Queen Elizabeth- -accompanying that gentleman on his embassy to the Netherlands, in August , 1585, and serving him at Court, after his return, until hes downfall i n 1587. "After the retirement of Davison, Brewster returned to Scroob y where he lived 'in good esteeme amongst his friends and ye gentlemen o f those parts, espetially the godly and religious, doing much good in pro moting and furthering religion.' In 1590, He was appointed to administe r the estate of his father, who died in the summer of that year, leavin g a widow, Prudence. "His father was postmaster of Scrooby at the tim e of his death, and it is said, that his grandfather held the same office . "Sir John Stanhope, who became Postmaster General in June, 1593, appoin ted one Samuel Bevercote to succeed the deceased Brewster. Through the in fluence of Davison, however, the Postmaster's son William was soon appoin ted to the office, which he held until September 30, 1607. (o.s.) "Hi s residence at Scrooby was the old Manor House. There the members of th e Pilgrim church were accustomed to meet on the Lord's day, when Brewste r 'with great love, entertained them when they came, making provission fo r them, to his great charge.' "The Pilgrims attempting to move to Holl and, in the latter part of 1607, were imprisoned at Boston, through the t reachery of the Master of the ship that was engaged to transport them . "Bradford says that Brewster 'was ye cheefe of those that were take n at Boston, and suffered ye greatest loss, and of ye seven that were kep t longest in prison, and after bound over to ye assises.' "Through Br adfoed also, we learn that Brewster, after he reached Holland, suffered m any hardships, and spent most of his means in providing for his 'many chi ldren.' "He was not so well fitted as the other Pilgrims for the har d labor which became their common lot, yet he bore his condition cheerful ly. "During the latter part of the twelve years spent in Holland he i ncreased his income very much by teaching, and by the profits from a prin ting press, which he--by the help of some friends--set up at Leyden. A t the end of that time, 'for sundrie, weightee and solid reasons,' whic h are duly set forth in Bradford's history, among which 'and which was no t least,' was a true missionary spirit, the church at Leyden resolved t o emigrate to Virginia. Brewster, the Elder of the Church, who had been c hosen to that office during the Pilgrim stay at Leyden, was 'desired' b y those chosen to go first, 'to goe with them,' while John Robinson, th e Pastor, stayed with the majority, who should follow later. Thus it hap pens that we find Elder Brewster, His wife Mary, his two younger sons, th e wife of his son Jonathan, and her son William, among the passengers o f that , now famous vessel -- the Mayflower -- which dropped anchor at Pl ymouth Harbor, December 11, 1620, (o.s.). "At Plymouth, Brewster too k an important part in establishing the Pilgrim Republic, not shrinking f rom even the most severe manual labor, and 'when the church had no othe r minister, he taught twise every Saboth, and yt at both powerfully and p rofitably to ye great contentment of ye hearers.' "His wife Mary, Whose m aiden name has not been discovered, 'dyed at Plymouth, in New England, th e 17th of April 1627.' (From the 'Brewster Book,' a very old manuscript , containing a record of the Brewster family, and now (1899) in possessio n of george Ernest Brown, Esq., of Boston, Secretary Genearl, Society o f Mayflower Descendants). Bradford says: that though she dyed 'long befor e her husband, yet she dyed aged,' but by her affidavit of 1609, she wa s less than sixty years of age, and it is probable that her 'great and co ntinual labours, with other crosses and sorrows, hastened it (i. e. old a ge) before ye time' "Elder Brewster survived his wife Many years, an d 'dyed at Plymouth, in New England, the 10th of April, 1644.' (This rec ord is from the 'Brewster Book,' in which the entry was made by the eldes t son, Jonathan, probably in the year 1644, and certainly before 1651, an d it is doubtless correct). "He left a library of about 400 volumes , valued at 42 pounds 19s 11d. 'August 20, 1645, a final division of th e Elders's estate was made by Bradford, Winslow, Prence and Standish, bet ween Jonathan and Love his onely children remayneing.' "Governor Brad ford pays tribute to the character of his 'dear and loving friend,' Elde r William Brewster, in the following words:-- 'He was wise and discreet e and well spoken, having a grave and deliberate utterance, of a very che erful spirite, very sociable and pleasante amongst his freinds, of and hu mble and modest mind of a peaceable disposition, under vallewing him sel f and his owne abilities, and sometimes over valweing others. Inoffenciv e and innocent in his life and converstion.' * * * 'tender harted and com passionate of such as were in miserie,' * * * 'In teaching he was very mo ving and starting of affections, also very plaine and distincte in what h e taught, by whichmeans he became ye more profitabel to ye hearers. ' * * * 'for the government of ye church * * * 'he was carful to preserv e good order in ye same,' * * * 'and accordingly God gave good success t o his endeavers here , in all his days, and he saw ye fruite of his labou rs in that behalfe."
