[edit] No references to verify decendents connection or notability

Removed Robert E. Brewster, Sarah Cochrane, John P. Brewster, and Robert C. Brewster from list of notable decendents. Names were added by anonymous users 216.37.64.100 (talk) and 24.118.29.1 (talk). No references supplied to verify that these people are decendents, or their notablity. --KeithB 18:46, 18 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Anon edit by 76.187.167.50 (talk)

Can anyone verify or refute this change? It's a curious change. And this is the sole contribution for this editor. --KeithB 16:26, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Birth date confusion

The text gives c. 1566 in the first paragraph; in the next it is said that he was baptized in 1560; the birth category is 1567. LC authority file gives 1566 or 1567; what is the source of the 1560 baptismal date? should it be changed? It sounds like 1566/1567 is probably correct. --FeanorStar7 11:36, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

There appears to be a jester playing games. Several other references in the article are showing signs of a prankster. The date of his birth should be 1566/67. digitalbeachbum 11:27, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removed Prankster Entries

There was an entry for William Brewster that said he was baptised and the date give was before his birthday in question. There also was a entry of gibberish for the location where he had been baptised also. Neither entry could be verified. digitalbeachbum 11:26, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mary, Wife of William Brewster

FYI : In my research I have found that his wife "Mary" was not known very well. There appears to be some conflict among researchers on which "Mary" this was; there apparently were (3) "Mary's" from which he could have married after arriving on the shores on North America. digitalbeachbum 11:32, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
