My name is Michael Heintz. I have genealogical information on William Brewster's lineage. William Brewster is the person responsible for bringing the Pilgrims to America on the Mayflower. I have a family tree which has much information, names, and dates I would like to share with any relative.

Now a proud member of THE ELDER WILLIAM BREWSTER SOCIETY.

I have done some research into some other branches of the Brewster lineage. If you are a descendent and are interested in your ancestors I may be able to assist you at finding source material. Feel free to contact me or just to say Hi if you are a long lost cousin.
 

I purchased a book on the Brewster Genealogy from 1500-1900 (about $200.00). It has many facts in it about different family members. Some of you who have emailed me about lineage I have been able to help with documentation others I have not sorry to say. The Genealogy is 1400 pages about many of the Brewster families and descendants. Unfortunately some of the lines do end abruptly because information about that line was probably not available to the author. If you are interested in Genealogical references from New England and elsewhere click on HIGGINSON BOOK CO

For those of you who would like a biography on William Brewster I have found that a wonderful book on his life is still in print. "Pilgrim: A Biography of William Brewster" by Mary Sherwood can be ordered on Amazon.com, just click on the link here.  This is a great book about the life of William and the world events which helped shape this compassionate man.

Another book of interest is "Mayflower" by Nathaniel Philbrick.  This is an awesome read.  Our ancestors were not always the most peaceable people.  The story is about the trip to America and the relationship between the settlers and the native Americans.  It also goes greatly into the King Phillips War which is passed over in American history.  I highly recommend this book, much research was done for it.  The link will take you to Amazon where you can purchase the book.
 

 Family Search now is on line with their famous genealogical data click on the highlighted text.

Another source of interest is the Ellis Island Web Site.  I have spent hours looking at records from other relatives of mine.  Click on the highlighted text for a link to it.

Here is another link that has Brewster information that is helpful about Fear and Issac Allerton as well as William's parents etc.  http://xpda.com/family/default.htm?page=family-WilliamBrewsterAndMaudMann-fam558232018.htm

The Brewster Genealogy book is also available now on PDF for about $20.00 and it is an exact copy of the book by Emma C. Brewster Jones.  The company is GenealogyCDs.com and you can also find it on ebay sometimes.

I have created another web site on a different branch of my Family click to visit DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS (WETMORE) WHITMORE

Elder Timothy Brewster6 b. 12 September 1759, William5, Nathaniel4, William3, Love2, William1, Married 5 July 1781, Temperance Andrus, born at Pawlet, VT., 29 October 1759; died at Ellisburg, N.Y. 17 December 1831.  He died at Ellisburg, 28 June 1848.
 Timothy Brewster settled at Pawlet in 1784 and was licensed to preach by the Baptists of that town in 1791.  He removed to Ellisburg in 1813 and became the pastor of the Baptist Church in that place.  Later he joined the Disciples and continued preaching, and was known as “Elder Timothy Brewster.”  He was also a farmer and owned land in Ellisburg near that of his son Ephriam, who settled there in 1816, and his sons Elisha and William settled on adjoining farms, which gave the vicinity the name of “Brewster Settlement.”  The cemetery there, in which he and his wife rest, was presented by him to the community.
 His son Ephriam narrated the following story about regarding him.  “In early youth, upon a Sabbath afternoon, Timothy Brewster and a few ungodly friends were in an old sugar-house engaged in playing cards, when suddenly the pasteboards disappeared and the most careful search failed to find them.  This was thought to be the work of the devil and the young men were seized with consternation, renounced their sinful lives and became good Christians, and Timothy Brewster was eventually led to enter the ministry of the Blessed Gospel.”
 He was a selectman of Pawlet in 1812-1813, and served tow short terms as private in the Revolutionary war.
 Timothy Brewster owned a dictionary which, traditionally had belonged to his Ancestors, William5 Brewster, and Nathaniel4 Brewster, and probably William3 Brewster and love2 Brewster. (Love Brewsters inventory included 3 dictionaries)  The last known Brewster heir to have this dictionary was Morris William Brewster9  This dictionary has the autographs of  four persons named William Brewster, Nathaniel Brewster, Timothy Brewster and A.J. (W.A.J.) Brewster  The book is 8 inches high, 5 inches wide, and 2 ¾ inches thick.  The earliest date printed on it is A.C. 782 and the latest is A.C. 1591.  Morris resided in Milan WA in the late 1800s.
