- A merchant, he came to New Haven, Connecticut by 1641 with a household of nine persons. He was a man of large estate and was dignified by the prefix, "Mr." He was probably a large owner of the ill-fated Great Ship (Capt. Lamberton) in which he was lost in 1646. His wife Lucy was tried and fined for offensive remarks in 1646, and referred to her Pastor in England and a neighbor, Mrs. Bennett, cast out of the church there. She evidently lived at Massachusetts Bay before coming to New Haven. Edward Parker said Mrs. Brewster "had a noteable pate." Bamfield Bell was called a kinsman of Mr. Brewster.1
