What do we know about Pilgrim Elder William Brewster?

On Sunday April 12, 2015, the General Society of Mayflower Descendants (GSMD) invited author Barbara Lambert Merrick to present "What do we really know about Elder William Brewster?" at the Mayflower Society House in Plymouth, MA.

Merrick discussed new facts uncovered during research for The Descendants of Elder William Brewster, Part 1, Generations 1 through 4, volume 24 of the GSMD Silver Books Series.

She guided listeners through the thirty year journey that lead to the compilation of the new Brewster book, edited by Scott Andrew Bartley and published by GSMD. Editor Bartley also offered a few remarks. The presentation was followed by a question and answer session.

The book offers readers a comprehensive look at the first four generations of the family descending from Mayflower Pilgrim Elder William Brewster. The introduction to the book details major changes to approved Brewster lineages and the work is finished with an all-name index created by Jane Fletcher Fiske.
