Brewster Genealogy : Vol. 1

"The Brewster Genealogy, 1566-1907, Vol. 1" meticulously charts the lineage of William Brewster, a significant figure aboard the "Mayflower" and a ruling elder of the Pilgrim Church that established Plymouth Colony in 1620. Set against the backdrop of the broader historical significance of the Pilgrims' journey to America, this volume traces the familial connections, marriages, births, and achievements of the Brewster descendants over nearly three and a half centuries. The Pilgrim movement, emblematic of the search for religious freedom and the foundation of modern America, underscores the relevance of this genealogical record. Emma C. Brewster Jones employs a systematic approach, weaving together primary documents, family letters, and historical records to paint a comprehensive portrait of the Brewster lineage. Beyond its genealogical depth, the book sheds light on the socio-political shifts and events that the Brewster family witnessed or partook in, offering a multifaceted historical narrative. While primarily a historical and genealogical text, the book indirectly interacts with disciplines like sociology, understanding how familial lineages impact broader community structures. Conclusively, Emma C. Brewster Jones' endeavor serves as more than just a family record; it becomes a testament to the enduring legacy of the Pilgrims and their impact on the fabric of American society.
