"Francis Brewster did not complete his apprenticeship until 1622, and as Nathaniel was his son, he must have married almost immediately, for Nathaniel was hardly born later than 1624. His birth has usually been placed earlier than that, but we have found no record statement of his age. Many of the graduates of the early classes at Harvard were boys of 17 and 18, hence for Nathaniel, graduated in 1642, it is not necessary to postulate an earlier date of birth than 1624." [at 13:19]
