I'm delighted to join a Brewster listserv. What fun! I don't know anything about the Brewsters of the South or of New Jersey, but might be able to help Caroline with the Connecticut/Massachusetts connection. Caroline, do you have the Mayflower database? I think you can get it off the Mayflower web page: http://members.aol.com/calebj/mayflower.html. If not, let me know. I can't remember how I got it. Love Brewster is certainly in the Mayflower database. The Mayflower Society has done extensive work on four generations down and is working on a fifth. I don't have time to poke around in it for you right now, but I will later. My problem is that the Brewster I'm stuck on is fifth or sixth generation down. Timothy Seymour Brewster was born in June 6, 1803. Blenheim, Schoharie County, NY, of the Connecticut Brewsters. His parents were from the Hartford area. His mother was Lydia Morgan (and I have her line quite a ways back), but nobody knows his father's name. His father apparently died when Timothy was an infant and his mother remarried a Daniel Belden, and they moved to Ohio. I've conversed with the town historian in Blenheim, but they are quite stuck, too. There are many Brewsters there, including a Brewster vault at the cemetary, but she can't find any records of who is buried there. She's looking for a record of Lydia selling the mill Timothy's dad ran before she moved to Ohio. Maybe it will have his name. Census records only show a John Brewster, who survived past the date Timothy's dad would have died. Don't know where to go from here. Family lore says we are descended from William Brewster of the Mayflower, but if I can't find this missing link, I can't get there. Have fun, folks. We all must be detectives at heart to be in this game. CAROL HOSLER, Holbrook, Arizona
