4.  MARY⁴ LOVE (EDWARD³, ELIZABETH² GOLDWELL, JOHN¹)¹ was born 1569 in Turnbridge, County Kent, England¹, and died 27 Apr 1627 in Plymouth, Plymouth County, Massachusetts¹.  She married WILLIAM BREWSTER¹ Abt. 1583 in England¹, son of WILLIAM BREWSTER and MARY SMYTHE.  He was born Bet. 1566 - 1567 in probably Scrooby, County Nottingham, England¹, and died 10 Apr 1644 in Plymouth, Plymouth County, Massachusetts¹.

NOTE ON WILLIAM BREWSTER'S WIFE:

The maiden name of William Brewster's wife has not been proven.  The claim it was Mary Wentworth rests solely on the fact that Mary Wentworth happened to live somewhat close to William Brewster in Scrooby, Nottingham.  That is very shaky evidence to say the least.  Further, it has been proposed that William Brewster may have married Mary Wyrall, but the evidence is just as flimsy for that marriage.  There are no fewer than seven marriages from 1590-1610 that have been located in parish registers showing a William Brewster marrying a Mary.  All, however, have been satisfactorily eliminated as probable candidates for the William and Mary (Brewster) who came to America on the Mayflower.  So at present, there is no evidence to document who William Brewster's wife Mary actually was.

William Brewster of the Mayflower married 1st wife name presently unknown and had a son who died 20 June 1609 in Holland?
The town of Brewster, Barnstable County, Massachusetts was named in honor of Elder William Brewster. Bradford's Hist. of Plymouth says - Elder William Brewster bore arms with the rest. He partook with them of labor, hunger and watching. His bible and arms being equally familiar to him. Always ready for duty or suffering to which he was called. The good Elder fights as he prays. He was chosen Elder of the church while Pilgrims were in Lyden, Holland.

William Bradford, born 1589, a hopeless orphan was befriended and virtually adopted as son of the Brewster household.

ANCESTRAL SUMMARY:

(1) William Brewster, taxed 1524, Bently cum Arksey, York, England; m. Maude Man bef. 1558; children: William and Henry.

(2) William Brewster II, b. c1535, d. 1590, living in Scrooby, York, England in 1564; m. Mary (Smythe) Simkinson, dau. of William Smythe of Stainforth, Hatfield, England, widow of John Simkinson of Doncaster, York, England.

(3) William Brewster of the Mayflower

On 12 June 1609, a Leyden record shows that William Brewster and Ann Peck gave power of attorney to Thomas Simkinson, merchant of Hull.  Presumably Thomas Simkinson has some relation to Brewster's mother's first husband John Simkinson.

BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY:
William Brewster was the Reverend Elder of the Pilgrim's church at Plymouth, since their pastor John Robinson remained behind in Leyden, South Holland, Netherlands with the majority of the congregation which planned to come to America at a later time.  Brewster was a fugitive from the King of England, because he had published a number of religious pamphlets while in Leyden which were critical or opposed the tenets of the Church of England.  He had been a member of the Separatist church movement from its very beginning, and was the oldest Mayflower passenger to have participated at the First Thanksgiving, in his early fifties.

William Bradford wrote a lot about William Brewster in Of Plymouth Plantation, some of which follows:

After he had attained some learning, viz. the knowledge of Latin tongue, and some insight in the Greek, and spent some small time at Cambridge, and then being first seasoned with the seeds of grace and virtue, he went to the court, and served that religious and godly gentleman, Mr. Davison, divers years, when he was Secretary of State; who found him so discreet and faithful as he trusted him above all other that were about him, and only employed him in all matters of greatest trust and secrecy . . . he attended his mr. when he was sent in ambassage by the Queen into the Low Countries . . . And, at his return, the States honored him with a gold chain, and his master committed it to him, and commanded him to wear it when they arrived in England, as they rid through the country, till they came to the court . . . Afterwards he went and lived in the country, in good esteem amongst his friends and the gentlemen of those parts, especially the Godly and religious.  He did much good in the country where he lived, in promoting and furthering religion not only by his practise and example, and provocating and encouraging of others, but by procuring of good preachers to the places thereabouts, and drawing on of others to assist and help forward in such work; he himself most commonly deepest in the charge, and sometimes above his ability. . . . They ordinarily met at this house on the Lord's day, (which was a manor of the bishops) and with great love he entertained them when they came, making provision for them to his great charge.  He was the chief of those that were taken at Boston, and suffered the greatest loss; and of the seven that were kept longest in prison, and after bound over . . . After he came into Holland he suffered much hardship, after he had spent the most of his means, having a great charge, and many children; and, in regard of his former breeding and course of life, not so fit for many employments as others were, especially as were toilsome and laborious.  But yet he ever bore his condition with much cheerfulness and contention.  Towards the later part of those 12 years spent in Holland, his outward condition was mended, and he lived well and plentifully; for he fell into a way to teach many students, who had a desire to learn the English tongue, to teach them English; . . . He also had means to set up printing, by the help of some friends . . . and by reason of many books which would not be allowed to be printed in England, they might have had more then they could do. . . . And besides that, he would labor with his hands in the fields as long as he was able; yet when the church had no other minister, he taught twice every Sabbath . . . For his personal abilities, he was qualified above many; he was wise and discreet and well spoken, having a grave and deliberate utterance, of a very cheerful spirit, very sociable and pleasant amongst his friends, of an humble and modest mind, of a peaceable disposition, undervaluing himself and his own abilities . . . inoffensive and innocent in his life and conversation . . . he was tender-hearted, and compassionate of such as were in misery, but especially of such as had been of good estate and rank, and were fallen into want and poverty, either for goodness and religions sake, or by the injury and oppression of others; . . .
