  • Notes 
    • Jonathan Brewster married December 18, 1690, Judith Stevens, of Norwich, Conn., "shee being then 20 yeres of age wanting 7 dayes " (Brewster Book), probably a daughter of James and Sarah (Smith) Stevens, of Hingham, who was baptized there, December 23, 1670. The inscription on his gravestone in the Brewster Cemetery at Brewster's Neck reads: "Hear liest the body of Mr Jonathan Brewster who Dyed Nov the 20*th 1704 Aged 40." His widow, Judith, married October 1706, Christopher Huntington, of Norwich. "Jonathan settled upon the homestead of his father, who, in 1699, deeded to him 810 acres with "my dwelling house and other buildings" as his portion of the father's estate. This was done with the understanding that Benjamin and his wife should be cared for in their old age. They both, however, survived their son." - N. E. Reg., liii. 286. (The Brewster Genealogy p.46)
