Jonathan, eldest son of Elder William
Brewster, was born at Scrooby in the county of
Notts, on the read to Doncaster in Yorkshire, from
which it is only twelve or thirteen miles distant, in
a manor belonging to the Archbishop of York,
under which his grandfather was tenant under a
long lease. His education was obtained only from
his father, either in England or in the twelve years'
residence in Holland, where he was left by his
father to take care of two sisters with his own
family. He came to Plymouth. Massachusetts, in
1621, without his sisters. In June, 1636, he had
command of the Plymouth trading house on the
Connecticut river, and gave notice to John Win-
throp. governor of the fort at Saybrook, of the
evil designs of the Pequots. He removed to Dux-
bury, which in 1639 he represented in the general
court, the earliest assembly of deputies in that colony.
From Duxbury he removed to New London,
Connecticut, before 1649, where he was selectman.
In 1656 he formed the design of returning with his
family to England, but remained in New London,
where he died before September, 1659. By his wife
Lucretia he had William. Mary, Jonathan, Benjamin,
Grace, Ruth, Hannah, and perhaps Elizabeth. (
III) Mary, second child and eldest daughter of
Jonathan and Lucretia Brewster, was born probably
in Holland. She married, November 12, 1645, John
Turner, of Scituate. (See Turner II).
