Description
Excerpt from The Brewster Genealogy, 1566-1907, Vol. 1: A Record of the Descendants of William Brewster of the "Mayflower," Ruling Elder of the Pilgrim Church Which Founded Plymouth Colony in 1620
The greater part Of the introductory material in the first volume is given in response to many inquiries and requests received from correspondents. This material and the biographical notes in the two volumes are presented as records and not as a literary effort.
Some time after beginning this Brewster genealogy the com piler learned that Mrs. Lucy Hall Greenlaw, of Boston, was pre paring Early Generations Of the Brewster Family, which was printed later in the New England Historical and Genealogical Reg ister, volume liii. The compiler acknowledges her indebtedness to this valuable genealogical record of the first Six generations in the male line, for information, supplementing her own material, for which due credit has been given in the Reference to Authorities in the following pages.
The late Reverend Ashbel Steele, A. M., in a footnote to page 402 Of his admirable biographic history - Chief of the Pilgrims, or Life and Time of William Brewster, published in 1857, declared his intention of publishing a genealogy of Elder Brewster's descendants. This genealogy, however, was never printed. In answer to inquiries the compiler regrets her inability to give any information as to its scope or completeness, as she has never seen the Rev. Mr. Steele's manuscript, which, she is informed, has been lost for many years.
