FORTUNE of London, Thomas Barton, Master. She left London about
August and arrive at Cape Cod November 9, 1621, with thirty-five
passengers, but only thirty-two are known by name. They all came
from London or its suburbs. The entire company settled at
Plymouth.

PLYMOUTH COLONY, page 1.
A canotaph to him and his wife has there been erected.
He came to Plymouth on the "Fortune" in November 1621. He had
lived for some time in Leyden where he had accepted citizenship.
He m. Plymouth 10 Apr 1624 Lucretia Oldham of Darby who d.
Preston CT 4 Mar 1678/9 and is buried with her husband. It is
conjectured that Jonathan had married in Leyden and had had a
child.
He moved from Plymouth to Duxbury about 1630 and served as
deputy to the General Court 1639, 1641, 1643/4; as a military
commissioner in the Pequot War of 1637; and a member of
Standish's Duxbury Company 1643. He was prominent in the
settlement of Duxbury and in the establishment of its church. He
practiced as an attorney and was the master and owner of a
coasting vessel plying as far south as Virginia. Sometime prior
to the death of his father, he had suffered several losses but
had received support from his father.
Sometime before Sept. 1649 he moved to Connecticut, being
appointed town clerk of Pequot (now New London) and obtaining a
grant of land from the Mohegan Sachem, Uncas in that town. By 30
Nov. 1652 a large tract, still known as Brewster's Neck, from
the Mohegan tribe was confirmed to him from which he opperated a
trading post with the Indians. He had started this operation
1650 without license of Colony permission. He served New London
as Deputy to the General Court of CT 1655-56.

MAYFLOWER AND His Descendants for Four Generations, compiled by

Mayflower Descendants, 1994.
Jonathan's name was recorded in Leyden records several times. He
became a Dutch citizen 30 June 1617. He was a witness to the
reading and signing of the will of Thomas Brewer and his wife
Anna, nee Offley, on 7 Dec 1617. He also was a witness to the
betrothal banns of John Reynolds entered 28 July 1617 and to the
betrothal banns of Edward Winslow entered 27 April 1618. Sytled
"Lintwercker" or ribbon maker, he lived in Pieterskerhof.
Jonathan arrived at Cape Cod on the FORTUNE 9 Nov 1621, and
Lucretia came over on the ANNE with her brother, John Oldham,
arriving about 10 July 1623. Jonathan was also one of the men
who undertook to discharge the debts of Plymouth Colony. A
Freeman in 1633, he was active in the settlement of Duxbury,
incorporated 7 June 1637. Records indicate that he served as a
surveyor, laid out highways, practiced as an attorney, and was
styled "gentleman". Jonathan served as a military commissioner
in the Pequot War in 1637, was on a committee to raise forces
during the Narragansett Alarm of 1642, and was a member of
Captain Myles Standish's Duxbury Company in 1643. He served
several terms as Deputy in General Court of Plymouth Colony in
1639, and 1741 through 1644.
In 1638 Jonathan Brewster established a ferry service to
transport men and cattle across the North River. In 1641, he
sold this to Messrs. Barker, Howell and others. Then, as the
master of a small trading vessel, he plied the coast from
Plymouth to Virginia. This was evidently unprofitable, according
to a letter written by Roger Williams to John Winthrop, Jr.
Removing to Connecticut, he settled on land granted to him as
follows: "25 April 1650, I Unquas, Sachem of Mauhekon, does give
freely unto Jonathan Brewster of Pequett, a tract of land, being
a plaine of arable land, bounded on the south side with a great
Coave called Pocctannocke, on the north with old Poccatuck path
that goes to the Trading Coave, &c. For, and in consideration
thereof, the said Jonathan Brewster binds himself and his heirs
to keep a house for trading goods with the Indians."
Because Jonathan set up a trading post without the authority of
the local government, he was censured, but the deed was
confirmed by the town on 30 November 1652. He was "clarke" of
the Town of Pequitt (New London) in September 1649, Deputy to
the General Court of the Colony of Connecticut, 1650, '55, '56,
'57 and '58, and served as Assistant to the Town in 1657.
On 1 Sept 1656, Jonathan "resolved for Old England" according to
a letter written to his sister-in-law, Sarah Brewster, widow of
Loved Brewster.
However, he did not return to England. He died intestate at New
London in 1659, having deeded all of his property to his son,
Benjamin, and his son-in-law, John Pickett, in 1658. John
Pickett relinquished his rights to the property on 14 Feb
1661/2, and provided that his "mother-in-law, Mrs.Brewster, the
late wife of his father, Mr. Jonathan Brewster, shall have a
full and competent means out of the estate during her life, from
the said Benjamin Brewster at her own dispose freely and fully
to command at her own pleasure."
Jonathan Brewster left an invaluable legacy to the Brewster
family known as THE BREWSTER BOOK, a record in his own
handwriting of the deaths of his mother and father, the birth
dates of each of his children, and the marriage dates of his
daughters, Mary and Ruth, and of his son, William, as well as
his own birth and marriage data. He apparently began the record
after the marriage in Plymouth of his daughter, Mary, to John
Turner in 1645, perhaps after he moved to Connecticut, leaving
Mary and his grandchildren behind in Plymouth Colony, but before
the date of his second set of entries, which follow the 1651
marriage of son William. All of the entries in this book wer
contemporary and made by three people, Jonathan, himself, his
son, Benjamin, and Benjamin's greatgrandson, Jabez Fitch, Jr.
This book has been of inestimable value to the Brewster family."
