Susanna Colston

Charles married Rebecca Travers on 1 May 1713 in , Richmond, Virginia, USA. Rebecca (daughter of Samuel Travers and Frances Allerton) was born on 15 Oct 1692 in , Richmond, Virginia, USA; died on 29 Dec 1726 in Farnham, Richmond, Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Colston was her 2nd husband: Her first husband, John Taverner, died so young and, apparently, not long after they were married. There is no explanation, or an exact date, but she would have remarried quickly. Her marriage to Charles Colston is dated 1713, only about 18 months after her marriage to John Taverner. Women could not own property and had no one to take care of them unless they had adult children to do that. Males who lost a spouse and had children also needed to remarry quickly. It was not uncommon to remarry within weeks after losing a spouse.

1a. Rawleigh TRAVIS (Rev) married Hannah BALL (sister of Mary BALL mother of
George Washington
2a. Mary Travis/Travers married Nicholas Haile in 1649. Mary died about 1671
Nicholas was born about 1628 and died in 1676

Hannah Ball who married Rawleigh Travers Jr. (son of Rawleigh Travers Sr.) was born ca 1683. That is gonna make it a tad difficult for her to be the mother of Mary who married Nicholas Hale as the children of Nicholas Hale I were all born prior to 1660. Nicholas Hale I was dead by 1670. Mary his wife was dead by March 1671/2.Rawleigh Travers Sr. married Elizabeth (surname not known) who had married 1 Thomas Stephens. "On 17 Nov 1654 in Lancaster Co., Virginia, Thomas Stephens, late of this colony died intestate and Elizabeth Stephens, his relict, was granted administration of his estate by the Governor." That means that ALL the children of Rawleigh Travers Sr. and Elizabeth were born AFTER 1654. Soooo, once again, it would very difficult for Rawleigh & Elizabeth to have a daughter Mary (who is never mentioned in any of the Travers records) who could marry and have children born BEFORE 1660.

How is Hannah TRAVERS related?

Hannah TRAVERS was born about 1690 in Virginia. Hannah married John CRUMP about 1715 in Virginia. John CRUMP left his will 23 Jun 1746 in Hamilton Parish,

How is Hannah TRAVERS who married John CRUMP?
Ancestors of Jim Burgess

I have been following the TRAVERS and related families for some time with interest. Linda Lawhan has done considerable research on the TRAVERS family and provided me with the following as I asked the same question:

Notes to follow provided by Linda Lawhan: (Travers Researcher)
The Hannah who married John Crump is claimed to be the daughter of John
Travers -- oldest son of Rawleigh Travers Sr.

Concerning William Travers--there was William who married Rebecca ___ who m2 John Rice. Elizabeth, wife of Rawleigh names this William as "cosin" in a document giving him POA. So far, the relationship between Rawleigh and William has not been established. We do not think they were brothers -- but they could have been cousins -- or uncle and nephew-or William might have been a son by a first wife but in that case I think Elizabeth would have called him something other than cosin (probably son in law).

John CRUMP and Hannah TRAVERS

1a. John CRUMP was born about 1690 in Virginia. John married Hannah TRAVERS
about 1715 in Virginia. His will is found in Hamilton Parish, Prince William
County, Virginia dated 23 Jun 1746.

Children of John CRUMP and Hannah TRAVERS

2a. Elizabeth CRUMP was born 19 OCT 1717 in St Stephens Parish, Northumberland County,
Virginia. Elizabeth married William BLACKWELL (Capt) about 1734. Elizabeth died about
25 Apr 1801 in Fauquier County, Virginia.
2b. Mary CRUMP was born about 1719 in St Stephens Parish, Northumberland County, Virginia.
Mary married a Mr Middleton about 1739 in Virginia.
2c. John CRUMP II was born 21 Aug 1720 in St Stephens Parish, Northumberland County, Virginia.
John married Elizabeth "Betty" TRIPLETT about 1740 probably in Prince William County,
Virginia.
2d. Hannah CRUMP was born 11 Jul 1723 in St Stephens Parish, Northumberland County, Virginia.
Hannah married Thomas TRIPLETT about 1740.
2e. Susannah CRUMP was born 11 July 1723 in St Stephens Parish, Northumberland County, Virginia.
Susannah married James HEWITT about 1744 probably in Prince William County, Virginia.
2f. Benjamin CRUMP was born about 1726 probably in Northumberland County, Virginia.
Benjamin married Mary Burgess PRICE 12 Apr 1756 in Orange County, Virginia.
2g. George Crump was born about 1726 probably in Northumberland County, Virginia
2h. Joseph CRUMP was born about 1731 probably in Northumberland County, Virginia.

First -- Giles was the son of Rawleigh Travers and wife Elizabeth. Elizabeth (maiden name NOT known) was first married to Thomas Stephens. She did not marry Rawleigh until "after" Nov 1654 at which time there was this: "On 17 Nov 1654 in Lancaster Co., Virginia: Thomas Stephens, late of this colony died intestate and Elizabeth Stephens, his relict, was granted administration of his estate by the Governor."It is my estimate that Giles was probably born no earlier than 1658 -- and I think more likely around 1662. He was not the oldest son. Giles' daughter, Elizabeth, the supposed mother of said child born ca 1655, was probably born close to 1700. She was married and had one child when her father wrote his will in 1717. After John Cave died -- Elizabeth married Lewis Elzey -- who was born ca 1702. They had three children; William b. ca 1722 m.

I also have Downman in my lines. My direct lines are Wilson, Chinn, Travers, Tarpley, Sydnor, Allerton. I am in the process of certifying my Mayflower lineage. I have two marriages to certify and I'm done.
In reading your papers, I had Mary Glascock, d/o Thomas and Ann Nicholas, married to Unknown Hipkins. So it appears that we are connected. Janean
Jim, I descend from Travers Tarpley and Elizabeth Sydnor (s/o John Tarpley and Elizabeth Travers) of John Tarpley and Elizabeth Glasscock) I also descend from Alice Smoot and John Chynne (Chinn) d/o William Smute (Smoot) and Grace Wood.

I am also interested in this Goodridge name. My John Wilson and Elizabeth Chinn (d/o Rawleigh Chinn) had a child with the middle name of Dodridge. I cannot account for that name in either family, of course I have no information on the earlier Wilson's. I have seen Goodridge in many of my research on these associated family names and am now wondering if Dodridge is in fact Goodridge. You know how transcribing can be misread.

In the will of Rawleigh Chinn there is this
One interesting and unexplained bequest was to an Elizabeth Nichols who received "use of land" conditioned on her remaining unmarried, and her daughter Cilla Nichols who received livestock and household goods
I would be interested in what you have on the Chinns. My brick wall is John Wilson h/o Elizabeth Travers Chinn. I believe based on the naming order they used back then that his father is William. I recently received an abstract stating that John Wilson and wife Elizabeth "Betsy" sold land in 1816 near Hopewell. I am awaiting a copy of the deed. It is noteworthy, that in 1815 Elizabeth's father, Rawleigh willed her 65 acres of land, and then in 1816 we find a deed of John Wilson and Elizabeth selling land. I also found an old posting where someone listed several names, I believe Smoot and Ball were in there, as well as Wilson, so I inquired. Her Mary Wilson married John Bruin 1789. My John Wilson m. Elizabeth Chinn 1796. Mary Wilson and John Bruin lived near Hopewell. One interesting thing, she knows nothing of Mary's parents but if, she and John Bruin followed the same naming order, then her father would also be William Wilson. I find this interesting. I would be interested in in the Goodridge name associated with these families or if you have anything on Wilson. There is also a middle name of Porter I cannot account for. All of the children of John Wilson and Elizabeth Chinn I can account for but Jacob Dodridge Wilson (Goodridge) ???? and Samuel Porter Wilson. I cannot account for the name Jacob either but in a letter written by mom, Betsey, she mentions "your uncle j....." and it was unreadable. I'm betting on Jacob Wilson as a brother of father John's.

Peter Daniel (1706-1777) moved to Stafford County from Middlesex as a young man, and married Sarah Travers (171?-1788) of Crow’s Nest the daughter of Rawleigh Travers of Stafford. Peter Daniel became on of Stafford’s leading citizens, serving as senior president justice of the count and a member of the Committee of Safety. Long an advocate for freedom from England, he was the first to sign a protest against the Stamp Act.
Peter and Sarah had three children, Hannah Ball Daniel (1737-1829), Travers Daniel (1741-1824), and Elizabeth Travers Daniel who died as an infant. Like his father, Travers was very prominent in county affairs and he was the official county surveyor from 1763 to 1794. Travers was also a Justice for Stafford County and succeeded his father as Presiding Justice. He married Frances Moncure, daughter of the Reverend Mr John Moncure of Clermont, by whom he had eleven children.

The Mayflower Compact was the first governing document of Plymouth Colony. It was written by the Separatists, also known as the "Saints", fleeing from religious persecution by King James of Great Britain. They traveled aboard the Mayflower in 1620 along with adventurers, tradesmen, and servants, most of whom were referred to as "Strangers".

The Mayflower Compact was signed aboard ship on November 11, 1620 by most adult men (but not by most crew and adult male servants). The Pilgrims used the Julian Calendar, also known as Old Style dates, which, at that time, was ten days behind the Gregorian Calendar. Signing the covenant were 41 of the ship's 101 passengers, while the Mayflower was anchored in what is now Provincetown Harbor within the hook at the northern tip of Cape Cod.

Reasons for the Compact

The Mayflower was originally bound for the Colony of Virginia, financed by the Company of Merchant Adventurers of London. Storms forced the landing to be at the hook of Cape Cod in what is now Massachusetts. This inspired some of the passengers to proclaim that since the settlement would not be made in the agreed upon Virginia territory, they "would use their own liberty; for none had power to command them....". To prevent this, many of the other colonists chose to establish a government. The Mayflower Compact was based simultaneously upon a majoritarian model (even though the signers were not in the majority) and the settlers' allegiance to the king. It was in essence a social contract in which the settlers consented to follow the compact's rules and regulations for the sake of survival.

In November 1620, the Mayflower landed at Plymouth, named after the major port city in Devon, England from which she sailed. The settlers named their settlement "Plimoth" or "Plimouth", using the Early Modern English spellings of the early 17th century.

Although the original document has been lost, three versions exist from the 17th century: printed in Mourt's Relation (1622), which was reprinted in Purchas his Pilgrimes (1625), hand written by William Bradford in his journal Of Plimoth Plantation (1646), and printed by Bradford's nephew Nathaniel Morton in New-Englands Memorial (1669). The three versions differ slightly in wording and significantly in spelling, capitalization and punctuation. William Bradford wrote the first part of Mourt's Relation, including its version of the compact, so he wrote two of the three versions. The wording of those two versions is indeed quite similar, unlike that of Morton. Bradford's handwritten manuscript is kept in a vault at the State Library of Massachusetts.

Modern version:
In the name of God, Amen. We, whose names are underwritten, the loyal subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord King James, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, King, defender of the Faith, etc.
Having undertaken, for the Glory of God, and advancements of the Christian faith and honor of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the Northern parts of Virginia, do by these presents, solemnly and mutually, in the presence of God, and one another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil body politic; for our better ordering, and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute, and frame, such just and equal laws, ordinances, acts, constitutions, and offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the colony; unto which we promise all due submission and obedience.
In witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names at Cape Cod the 11th of November, in the year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord King James, of England, France, and Ireland, the eighteenth, and of Scotland the fifty-fourth, 1620.

The 'dread sovereign' referred to in the document used the archaic definition of dread—meaning awe and reverence (for the King), not fear. Also, the document was signed under the Old Style Julian calendar, since England did not adopt the Gregorian calendar until 1752. The Gregorian date would be November 21.

Signers

A list of 41 male passengers who signed the document was supplied by Bradford's nephew Nathaniel Morton in his 1669 New England's Memorial. Thomas Prince first numbered the names in his 1736 A Chronological History of New-England in the form of Annals. Because the original document has been lost, Morton (1669) is our sole source for the signers. Although he probably had access to the original document, he could not have known simply by inspecting it the actual order that it was signed. Morton's arrangement of names is probably not the arrangement of names on the original document, and the names may not have been arranged in any orderly fashion. Prince's numbers are based solely on Morton (1669) as he himself stated. His numbers are unfortunate because he could not have known the order that the original document was signed.

Morton's list of names was unnumbered and untitled in all editions although their order changed with successive editions. In his original 1669 edition, the columns were placed on two successive pages (15–16) forming six short columns, three columns of seven names each (headed Carver, Samuel Fuller, and Edward Tilley) on the first page and three columns of seven, seven, and six names each (headed Turner, Priest, and Clarke) on the next page.[6] In the second (1721) and third (1772) editions, the six short columns were joined into three long columns of 14, 14, and 13 names each on a single page (20). The first and fourth short columns were joined into the first long column (headed Carver with Turner halfway down), the second and fifth short columns were joined into the second long column (headed Samuel Fuller with Priest halfway down), and the third and sixth short columns were joined into the third long column (headed Edward Tilley with Clarke halfway down), changing their order. In the fifth (1826) and sixth (1855) editions, the names were also in three long columns of 14, 14, and 13 names each on one page (1826: 38, 1855: 26), but now they were placed in their original 1669 order. The first and second short columns formed the first long column (headed Carver with Samuel Fuller halfway down), the third and fourth short columns formed the second long column (headed Edward Tilley with Turner halfway down), and the fifth and sixth short columns formed the third long column (headed Priest with Clarke halfway down). Both long column orders appear in modern lists of unnumbered signers.

Prince numbered the names in their original 1669 Morton order (the same as the 1826/55 Morton order) on successive pages (85–86), two columns of eight names each on one page (headed 1 Carver and 9 Martin) and two columns of 13 and 12 names each on the next page (headed 17 Cooke and 30 Williams). The third (1852) edition placed these numbered names in two columns (the first column headed 1 Carver with 8 Samuel Fuller and 15 Edward Tilley below, and the second column headed 22 Turner with 29 Priest and 36 Clarke below) on a single page (172). He added titles (Mr. or Capt.) to eleven names given those titles by William Bradford in the list of passengers at the end of his manuscript.[1][10] He attributed the lack of Mr. Bradford to Bradford's modesty. Prince's numbered order of signers is now used to identify ancestors in genealogical charts.[6]

The following list of signers is organized into the six short columns of Morton (1669) with the numbers and titles of Prince. The names are given their modern spelling according to Morison (1966).[14]

Fear Allerton née Brewster (c. 1606 - before December 12, 1634) was a woman in Colonial America. She was the third daughter of Mayflower Pilgrim William Brewster and his wife Mary, born in Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, England. She was named Fear because at the time of her birth, the Puritans were holding secret meetings and were under constant threat of arrest. Her early years, and indeed her whole life, were full of unrest. In 1608 she moved, along with the other pilgrims, to Amsterdam (and later Leiden).

Fear was only 14 when her parents and two younger brothers, Love and Wrestling, left for America on the Mayflower. She was left in the care of her older siblings, Jonathan (born in 1593) and Patience (born in 1600). Jonathan joined the pilgrims in 1621 on board the Fortune. Fear arrived in America with Patience on board the Anne in July 1623.

Fear married Isaac Allerton, another Mayflower pilgrim, around 1626. He was 20 years her senior. They had a son, Isaac Allerton Jr., born about 1627. There is speculation that they had a daughter, Sarah Allerton, who was baptised on August 13, 1633 and probably died in infancy.

Fear died young, but the exact date is unknown. She died sometime before her sister Patience's death December 12, 1634.

Thomas Glascock
Born: 1611, Essex County, England
Marriage: Jane "Just" Juet in London, England
Died: 1677, VA at age 66
General Notes:
English: habitational name from Glascote near Tamworth in Staffordshire, named from Old English glæs 'glass' + cot 'hut', 'shelter'; it was probably once a site inhabited by a glass blower.
Welsh: habitational name from Glascoed in Monmouthshire (Gwent), named from Welsh glas 'gray', 'green' + coed 'wood'. This name is also found in Ireland and may also have been brought to the U.S. from there.

THOMAS GLASCOCK (1620-1663) Just what forces combined to cause Thomas to leave England are unknown. We do know that England was in those days a very distraught country, for the Great Rebellion--the bitter struggle between King Charles I and Parliament for control of the country--was in process. England's Civil War began in 1642 and the battle between the Royalist Cavaliers, who supported the reigning Stuart king, and the Roundheads, who supported Parliament and Oliver Cromwell for political and religious control of the country soon split the nation into two armed camps. 1643 was a bloody year in England and, as in all wars, many people suffered great hardships. Some of them left the country and emigrated to America--and among these emigrants was Thomas Glascock. Perhaps he was a disillusioned Cavalier.

During the war a considerable number of these Royalists came to Virginia because it held steadfast to the Crown and the old reign of Charles I under the rule of Sir William Berkely. Berkely, a rich young Royalist, had been commissioned governor of Virginia by Charles and arrived in 1642, about a year ahead of Thomas. Perhaps he left for religious reasons for believers of the established Church of England were at the threats of Puritans and reformers, and vice versa during these dare days. Or perhaps he was just an adventurous younger son who wanted to try his luck as a Virginia planter. One of Thomas' 1643 patents was for 130 acres in Warwick River County "parallel to his own and land of John Leyden and adjacent to land of Thomas Davis" for transporting three persons to Virginia from England. John Leyden's patents, issued in 1636, are for land on the "Old" Poquoson River, the "New" Poquosin River, and the James River. Thus it appears that Thomas' 1643 patent was for land on the lower part of the peninsula between the James and the York Rivers and situated near the James River somewhat between Newport News, Hampton and Yorktown, now mostly a heavily populated city area. On August 30, 1643, Thomas also patented 200 acres "a mile and a half upon the South side of Peankatanke River, adj Christopher Royce" for transporting 4 persons to Virginia. Two of the four were himself and his wife Jane. We are sure that he lived on this patent, for in 1652 he was appointed Justice of the Peace for the Peankatanke area by the Burgesses, sitting at Jamestown. The Peankatanke River is north of his other patent, in York County on the peninsula between the York and Rappahannock Rivers, and it flows into the Chesapeake Bay just a few miles below the mouth of the Rappahannock. The first patent on the Peankatanke was granted in 1642 and only four others were granted before Thomas', so we know that he was one of the first settlers in the area. Settlement started around Jamestown, moved up and down the James River, and then spread further north and south along the Tidewater coast as Indians were driven back and more settlers arrived. John Leydon (or Laydon) is listed in the records as an "Ancient Planter"...one who arrived in Virginia before 1616. In fact, he arrived with John Smith and the first settlers, at age 27, on the "Susan Constant" in 1607. He married a maid who came in 1608, and the wedding was the first one solemnized in English America.

He survived the massacre of 1622 and by the time of the muster of 1624/1625 only one other man is listed as a survivor of the first settlement of 1607--so he was apparently the oldest and the last of the original settlers. If Thomas did live next to him in 1643, the 63 year old Leyden and his wife must have had some interesting tales to tell of the suffering and trials of the first 36 years of the colony! Thomas' other neighbor, Thomas Davis, was the son of James Davis, also an "Ancient Planter" who had died before 1633. We can only speculate about what contact the Glascocks had with these earliest settlers at the Jamestown settlement, but it is interesting to learn that Glascock's patent was apparently between the patents of these revered "Ancient Planters." On June 28, 1652, Thomas Glascock patented 600 acres in Lancaster County, 200 acres of which were granted upon his surrendering "200 acres on Peankatanke River formerly granted." This transaction proves that the Glascocks arrived in Lancaster County in 1652. Here the Glascocks set about the task of building a home and clearing land for tobacco.

The typical Virginia dwelling of that day was a frame one and a half story building, with brick underpinning and high chimneys at either end. Nails were so hard to get that settlers often burned their homes when moving in order to get nails to start a new house. After the house was built, the forests had to be cleared. After the trees were cut, the stumps had to be dug up and the soil broken up with hoes before the tobacco could be planted. Probably Thomas had some of his headrights or indentured servants help his sons and him with this hard labor. So their tobacco plantation began to grow and Thomas established a way of life as a Rappahannock River planter that was to continue for generations in the Glascock family. Little else is known about the lives of Thomas and Jane.

It is probable that Thomas died before June 3, 1667, for on that date his son, Gregory, was in possession of the Morattico Creek land which had been granted to him in 1662. No record of his or his wife's death; Thomas Glascock's will is presumably in lost will book (1692-1709) of Richmond County. Commissioner, Warwick County, 1652. (Virginia Colonial Abstracts Volume 26, York County, 1648-1657 by Fleet, page 43).

By signing his name Thomas shows he was of the Gentry class. Thomas had moved to VA with his family by 1643 because on 30 Aug 1643 he received two land patents. From the patents we know his wife's name was "Jane". The reason for moving might have been the 1642 Civil War in England instigated by a power struggle between King Charles I and the Parliment led by Oliver Cromwell.
One of the 1643 patents was for 130 acres in Warwick River Co. "parallel to his own and land of John Leyden and adjacent to land of Thomas Davis" possibly for transporting three persons to Virginia from England.

On 30 Aug 1643, Thomas also patented 200 acres "a mile and a half upon the south side of Peankatanke River, adjacent Christopher Boyce" for transporting 4 persons to Virginia, which included Thomas and his wife, Jane.
In 1652 he was appointed Justice of the Peace for the Peankatanke area by the Burgesses, sitting at Jamestown. The Peankatanke River was north of his other patent, between the York and the Rappahannock Rivers. It flows into the Chesapeak Bay just a few miles below the mouth of the Rappahannock. The first patent on the Rappahannock was granted in 1642, and only four others before Thomas'. The south shore of the Peankatanke was inhabited by the Chiskiake Indians. It is believe that the Glascocks lived in this are for about 9 years.
On 28 Jul 1652 Thomas was granted a patent for 600 acres about 30 miles north of his Peankatanke land, on Morattico Creek in Lancaster Co. of VA. Two hundred of these acres were received in exchange for the
surrender of his first patent for the land on the Peankatanke River and the remaining 400 acres were for
transporting eight more persons to the colony.
On 9 Jan 1662, Thomas received another patent for 280 acres adjoining the land he had at the head of the
Morattico Creek for transporting 6 more persons. It is most likely that he moved his family north onto the
Morattico Creek property during the early 1660s. Morattico Creek was named for the "Moraughtacund Indians".
"Thomas Glassocks's land, in Lancaster Co., is on a narrow seaboard peninsula of VA called the 'Northern Neck'
which is bounded on the east by Chesapeake Bay, on the north by the Potomac River (River of Swans), and on the south by the Rappahannock River (Quick Rising Waters). Only fifteen to twenty miles wide, it runs inland between the great rivers for about a hundred miles. The Glascock land is located on the point of land at the junction of the Morattico and the Lancaster (formerly also called the Morattico) Creeks where they flow into the Rappahannock River, and is thus surrounded on three sides by water. The land is situated uphill from the little fishing village of Simonson. The East Creek (Lancaster Creek) is the boundary between Richmond and Lancaster Counties... This area was one of the most densely inhabited parts of Powhaten's Empire, and the hardest fighting must have occurred along the Rappahannock near the 'Indian Banks' area."(Source: The Glas(s)cock--Glassco Saga, by Lawrence A.

William Brewster (c. 1566 – 10 April 1644) was an English official and Mayflower passenger in 1620. In Plymouth Colony he became a Separatists leader and preacher.[1]
Contents

William Brewster was most probably born in Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, England, about 1566, and died at Plymouth, Massachusetts on 10 April 1644. 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 (1510–1558), and Maud Mann (1513–1558). His maternal grandfather was William Smythe (1505–1560).[2][3]

He studied briefly at Peterhouse, Cambridge before entering the service of William Davison in 1584.[4] Brewster was the only Pilgrim with political and diplomatic experience. With his mentor in prison, Brewster had returned home to Scrooby for a time, where he took up his father’s former position as postmaster.[5] Cambridge was a centre of thought concerning religious reformism, but Brewster had spent time in the Netherlands in connection with Davison's work, giving 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.[6] (See Brownist.)

Restrictions and pressures applied by the authorities convinced the congregation of a need to emigrate to the more sympathetic atmosphere of Holland, but leaving England 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.[5]
Life in Holland[edit]
A rare 17th-century "Brewster Chair," named after the original owned by William Brewster[7]

William lived near Pieterskerk (St Peter’s church] with his wife and children. He taught English to Leiden University students and was also a printer of religious pamphlets. His son, Jonathan, was a ribbonweaver. William was chosen as assistant and later as an elder to Pastor John Robinson. He was still an elder when he travelled to Plymouth Colony in 1620.[3]

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, Brewster and Edward Winslow published a religious tract critical of the English king and his bishops. James ordered Brewster’s arrest, and when the king’s agents in Holland came to seize the Pilgrim elder, Brewster was forced into hiding just as preparations to depart for America entered the most critical phase. The printing type was seized by the authorities 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.[8]

With Brewster in hiding, the Separatists looked to their deacon John Carver and to Robert Cushman to carry on negotiations with the appropriate officials in London.[9] In 1620 when it came time for the Mayflower departure, Elder Brewster returned to the Leiden congregation. He had been hiding out in Holland and perhaps even England for the last year. At the time of his return, Brewster was the highest-ranking layperson of the congregation and would be their designated spiritual leader in the New World.[10]

Brewster joined the first group of Separatists 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.[11]
Mayflower voyage[edit]

Among children boarding the Mayflower were four children from Shipton in Shropshire placed as indentured servants with senior Separatists with William Brewster, John Carver and Robert Cushman, on behalf of Samuel More, husband of the children’s mother Katherine More. The children were placed without their mother’s permission after four rancorous years between the More adults over charges of adultery against Katherine More with her longtime lover, the children’s alleged father. Two children were placed with William and Mary Brewster – Mary More, age four and Richard More, age five. Mary was to die in the winter of 1620 as did two other siblings. Only Richard survived and lived with them until approximately 1627. The event has become a bizarre 17th century historic incident. It is not known what Brewster knew about the More children.[12]
Signing the Mayflower Compact 1620, a painting by Jean Leon Gerome Ferris 1899

The Mayflower departed Plymouth, England on 6/16 September 1620. The small, 100-foot ship had 102 passengers and a crew of about 30–40 in extremely cramped conditions. By the second month out the ship was buffeted by strong westerly gales. The ship‘s timbers were badly shaken with caulking failing to keep out sea water. Passengers laid wet and ill even when in their berths. This, combined with a poor rations and unsanitary conditions for several months attributed to what would be fatal for many, especially the majority of women and children. On the journey there were two deaths, a crew member and a passenger. The worst was yet to come after arriving at their destination. In the space of several months almost half the passengers perished in the cold, harsh, unfamiliar New England winter.[13]

On 9/19 November 1620, after about 3 months at sea, including a month of delays in England, they spotted land, which was the Cape Cod Hook, now called Provincetown Harbor. After several days of trying to get south to their planned destination of the Colony of Virginia, strong winter seas forced them to return to the harbor at Cape Cod hook, where they anchored on 11/21 November. The Mayflower Compact was signed that day.[13][14]
Landing and life in the New World[edit]

When the colonists landed at Plymouth Colony, 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.[15]

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. “He was tenderhearted and compassionate of such as were in misery,” Bradford write, “but especially of such as had been of good estate and rank and fallen unto want and poverty.” [16]

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.[17]

In 1634, smallpox and influenza ravaged both the English and the Indians in the region. William Brewster, whose family had managed to survive the first terrible winter unscathed, lost two daughters, Fear and Patience, now married to Isaac Allerton and Thomas Prence, respectively.[18]

William Brewster died and was buried on 10 April 1644 at Burial Hill, Plymouth, Massachusetts. At present, a gravestone/memorial stone exists there for him. The memorial stone states that it is in honor of "Elder William Brewster Patriarch of the Pilgrims and their Ruling Elder 1609–1644". The burial place of his wife Mary "Mayflower", who died in 1627, is unknown."[19]

Sometime before 1593, in England, William Brewster married Mary "Mayflower" Wentworth, daughter of Thomas Wentworth, Esquire (1522–1574), and Grace Gascoigne (1532–1574).[20][21][22][23][24] She was born in Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, England in 1569. She 'dyed at Plymouth, Massachusetts on 17 April 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.'[25]

The children of William and Mary were:

Elder Jonathan Brewster (12 August 1593 – 7 August 1659) married Lucretia Oldham of Derby on 10 April 1624,[23][26][27][28][29] and were the parents of eight children.

Love Brewster was born in Leiden, Holland about 1611 and died between 6 October 1650 and 31 January 1650/1, at Duxbury, Massachusetts.[23][30][31] At the age of about 9, he travelled with his father, mother and brother, Wrestling, on the Mayflower to Plymouth, Massachusetts. He married Sarah Collier in Plymouth, Massachusetts on 15 May 1634. Love and Sarah were the parents of 4 children.
