• Notes

  Benjamin Brewster married "Ann Darte the last Daye of febeare : 1659-1660 " (Brewster Book and Norwich, Conn., T. Rec), who "may have been the widow of Ambrose Dart of Boston who married 'Anne Adis daughter of William Addis of Cape Ann 24th- 4th month 1653." "Ann Brewster Departed this life - the wife of Benjamin Brewster May the 9 1709." " The above Named Benjamin Brewster Died in Norwich ye 14th of Sept: 1710 & was Buried on Brewster Plain." "Benjamin Brewster settled upon the homstead of his father at Brewster's Neck, which he acquired from his father and brother- in-law, John Picket. This farm was originally in the town of New London, but by the alteration of boundaries and the formation of new towns was afterwards successively included in the towns of Norwich, Preston, Groton, and Ledyard. He was a man of promi-nence, serving as deputy to the General Court of the Colony of Connecticut, 1668, '89, '90, '92, '93, '94, 95, '96, '97, lieutenant of the New London Troop, 1673, and captain of the military company of Norwich, 1693. " The Brewster Book . . . undoubtedly had been in his custody from the death of his father to his own decease . . . and his son Daniel, . . . it is supposed, succeeded him as custodian of the Book."- N. E. Reg., liii. 283-4. (The Brewster Genealogy, p.37)
