Background
Biography
Not much is currently known about Mary, wife of Elder William Brewster. She filed an affidavit at Leydon on 25 Jun 1609 stating she was then aged about 40, so she was born circa 1569. It is likely she was from either the Scrooby, Nottinghamshire area (where Elder Brewster was from) or the Doncaster, Yorkshire area. She is believed to be the only wife of Elder Brewster, and the mother of all of his children. She died 17 Apr 1627 which was shortly before the 1627 Division of Land.
