If you are researching this family there is considerable info in John Broddie's book Historical Southern Families Volume VII. All of it is not correct but, most of it is. Ted Smith

I am searching for any and all information you might have on JAMES BREWSTER (Bruster) born approximately 1755 married Mildred (Milly) DOWNS. I am descended from their daughter, Jane Brewster b. 1795<?> in SC. She married Rhodam Doyle in 1807. Thank you, Nancy J. tsalagi@train.missouri.org

I know that the sun has been shining, and it looks like Spring is on its way! However, I also know that there are many of you who are subscribed to this list who have not posted your queries and/or BREWSTER ancestry. What are you waiting for? We'd love to help!!

For those of you researching this line, here is another resource. Although I do not know where a copy can be found, Louise Howe LDHowe@aol.com posted this information 10-FEB-1997: "From "The Maxwell History and Genealogy" by Florence Wilson Houston, Laura Cowan Blaine, and Ella Dunn Mallette, published in 1916. "James Brewster [sometimes Bruster, in early documents], of Augusta and Rockingham Counties, Virginia, was born in County Derry, 1720, and came to this country when eighteen years of age. He settled in the Valley of Virginia, not far from where the old stone church of Fort Defiance, today [1916?] stands, Cobb Creek being one of the boundaries of his land. He married Elinor Williamson, and had eight children, six daughters -- Margaret, Elinor, Sarah, Janet, Agnes and Mary -- and two sons, James and Henry." James Brewster eventually migrated to Jessamine County, KY; his children settled elsewhere in KY, but apparently none in Grayson Co. Janet Brewster married her cousin, Samuel Irvin; she and two of her sisters are buried in the Dunn Family Cemetery on what is now the campus of Indiana University in Bloomington.

I am trying to trace parentage of Susan Brewster, called Susannah Bruster in her 1853 wedding announcement in Cornwallis, NS. It has been suggested that she descended from Samuel Brewster(Samuel, William, Benjamin,Jonathan, William) - called Samuel Bruster in his 1760 land grant at Cornwallis - though his son Alexander who died before his father. Alexander may have migrated to New Brunswick. Joanne Hunt Litchfield, NH

The wife of William Brewster was not Mary Wentworth. Mary Wentworth was disproved as wife of William Brewster in articles published in The American Genealogist, Mayflower Quarterly and New England Historical Genealogical Register. Try TAG: 41:1-5, 63; MQ 36:55-7 and NEHGR 124 250-4. This is also discussed in Mayflower Families in Progress: William Brewster of the Mayflower and His Descendants for Four generations, complied by Barbara Merrick (Second Edition), published by the General Society of Mayflower Descendants, 1996. You could contact the Society at: 4 Winslow Street, Plymouth, MA 02360. Price was $8.00 plus $3.00 shipping last I checked. The wife of William Brewster should simply be shown us Mary ______. Best of luck, Henry Sutliff

I was examining the different family lines of William BREWSTER and came upon the following: William Brewster (1565-1643) and Mary Jonathan Brewster (1593-1659) and Lucretia Oldham Benjamin Brewster (1633-1710) and Ann Darte Benjamin Brewster (1673-1755) and Mary Smith Comfort Brewster (1711-1771) and Deborah Smith in Lebanon, CT. Comfort Brewster (1745- Has this Comfort (1745-) been ruled out as the Comfort Brewster of Wythe County, Virginia? He could fit in because Thomas Brewster, the son of Comfort of Wythe County, was born in 1767/68 which would make Comfort 22 years old. Any thoughts? Dennis
