• Notes

  Mayflower - Pilgrim SOURCE: Jones, Emma C. Brewster (The Brewster genealogy, 1566-1907) SOURCE: Robert Charles Anderson, (New England Historic Genealogical Soci e ty, Boston, MA). The English origins of Mrs. Mary Brewster are not known. A number of the o ries have been proposed over the years, including maiden names such a s We ntworth, Love, Wyrall, and others. However, no proof to support an y of th ese hypotheses has been found. We know that Mary was born about 1569 because she stated she was 40 yea r s old in an affidavit filed in Leiden, Holland on 25 June 1609. She wa s p resumably from the vicinity of Doncaster, Yorkshire or Scrooby, Notti ngha mshire, as she married William Brewster in that area about 1592 an d had t heir first son Jonathan in Scrooby a year later. She next had a d aughte r Patience, born about 1600 or somewhat earlier. About 1606, the c hurch c ongregation began more formally meeting at the Scrooby manor, whe re she a nd husband William resided. About this time, pressure from the E nglish au thorities was mounting, and the meetings became more and more s ecretive . She gave birth to another daughter at this time, which they na med Fear . The couple fled just over a year later for Holland with the ot her membe rs of the congregation, and in Leiden they buried an unnamed ch ild: presu mably one that had died in infancy. In 1611, she gave birth t o a son the y named Love, and two or three years later gave birth to thei r last son , whom they named Wrestling. Mary came to Plymouth on the Mayflower in 1620 with husband William, a n d her two youngest children Love and Wrestling. Mary was one of only fi v e adult women to survive the first winter, and one of only four wome n t o survive to the so-called "First Thanksgiving" in 1621. Son Jonatha n Bre wster joined the family in November 1621, arriving at Plymouth on t he shi p Fortune. Daughters Patience and Fear came on the ship Anne in 16 23. Mar y died in 1627 at Plymouth, having reached about the age of 60. H usband W illiam survived her, and would live another 17 years before he d ied.
