The discovery of what is called the Brewster Book adds to the confusion already existing concerning the date of the death of Elder Brewster. The entry there made by his son Jonathan makes it April 10, 1644. Bradford says he died, as has been usually quoted, about April 18, 1643, but the photographic copy of Bradford suggests that April 16th has been miscalled April 18th. The church records say April 16, 1644, and this must be considered the true date.

    Benjamin Brewster (Jonathan 2, William 1), 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 homestead 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 prominence, serving as deputy to the General Court of the Colony of Connecticut, 1668, '89, '90, '92 - '97, lieutenant of the New London Troop, 1673, and captain of the military company of Norwich, 1693.
