William Brewster
Early Life
William was the son of William Brewster, postmaster at Scrooby, Nottinghamshire. William (Jr.) was educated at Cambridge University, but never completed a degree. He entered the service of Secretary of State William Davison, under whom he first traveled to the Netherlands. After Davison's tenure ended, William returned to Scrooby and took over as postmaster. There he helped establish a small Separatist church with Richard Cyfton. He and the others were eventually forced out, and he and his family fled to Amsterdam in 1608 and Leiden in 1609.[1]
Leiden
In Leiden, Brewster worked as a printer, publishing religious books that were illegally imported into England. His colleague Thomas Brewer was eventually arrested for those activities, but Brewster avoided the authorities.
Brewster was the highest ranking church official in the Leiden Pilgrim's church, and agreed to accompany the Pilgrims when their pastor John Robinson declined to go.[2]

We have new search functionality! Search on a variety of fields, sort by best-match (the default), by title, or by date last modified. Pages are indexed within an hour or two of being edited. Also, adding person, family, or source pages now gives you a chance to see if a matching page already exists in the wiki before creating a new page.
