William Brewster (Mayflower passenger)
William Brewster (c. 1566–10 April 1644) was an English official and ''Mayflower'' passenger in 1620. In Plymouth Colony, by virtue of his education and existing stature with those immigrating from the Netherlands, Brewster, a separatist, became a regular preacher and the leader of the community.
==Life in England ==
William Brewster was born ca. 1566,〔Stratton, Eugene Aubrey (1986). ''Plymouth Colony: Its History and People, 1620–1691,'' p. 251, Salt Lake City, UT, USA: Ancestry Publishing.〕 most probably in Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, England. He was the son of William Brewster and Mary (Smythe; Simkinson) and he had a number of half-siblings. His paternal grandparents were William Brewster (1510–1558), and Maud Mann (1513–1558). His maternal grandfather was William Smythe (1505–1560).〔Merrick, Barbara Lambert (Comp. ) (2000). ''William Brewster of the Mayflower and His Descendants for Four Generations,'' 3rd Rev. Edn., pp. 1–5, 30-35, Plymouth, MA, USA: General Society of Mayflower Descendants.〕〔''A genealogical profile of William Brewster,'' (a collaboration between Plymouth Plantation and New England Historic Genealogical Society)()〕
He studied briefly at Peterhouse, Cambridge, before entering the service of William Davison in 1584. Brewster was the only Pilgrim with political and diplomatic experience. With his mentor in prison, Brewster had returned home to Scrooby for a time, where he took up his father’s former position as postmaster.〔 Cambridge was a centre of thought concerning religious reformism, but Brewster had spent time in the Netherlands in connection with Davison's work, giving him opportunity to hear and see more of reformed religion. While, earlier in the 16th century, reformers had hoped to amend the Anglican church, by the end of it, many were looking toward splitting from it.〔Philbrick, pp. 13 and 16–17.〕 (See Brownist.)
Restrictions and pressures applied by the authorities convinced the congregation of a need to immigrate to the more sympathetic atmosphere of Holland, but leaving England without permission was illegal at the time, so that departure was a complex matter. On its first attempt, in 1607, the group was arrested at Scotia Creek, but in 1608, Brewster and others were successful in leaving from The Humber. In 1609, he was selected as ruling elder of the congregation.〔
