Dorothy married Thomas Burge , Sr. before 1639 at Prob. England. As of before 1639, her married name was Dorothy Burge. Her married name was Dorothy Burges.
Dorothy (?) died on 27 February 1687.1
She was buried after 27 February 1687 at Old Town Cemetery, Sandwich, Barnstable Co., MA, New England. Click the icon to see the headstone of Dorothy located at the Old Town Cemtery, Sandwich, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.
Research Note: Katherine Hiam, in her 1997 "Burgess Genealogy", Pg. 2, writes that she is "not certain that "Waynes" was actually Dorothy Burgess' maiden name." She references a submission by Benjamin F. Wilbour of Little Compton, Rhode Island, to "Notes" in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register [NEHGR 118:323 (1964)] which read thus: 'The following record from Paver's Marriage Licenses' (in Yorkshire Archeological Journal, Vol. 20, pg. 74, 1909) may pertain to him [Thomas1 Burgess] and suggest the place of his birth: Thomas Burgess and Dorothy Waynes [married at] Tanfield [co. York, England] in 1628.'
She goes on to say: "In spite of the fact that this couple's identity cannot be proved, I have opted to believe that they were "our" Thomas and Dorothy," and further references TAG 61:69 (1985).
To date, I am unaware of any new evidences to support this theory. The General Society of Mayflower Descendants merely lists her as "Dorothy." Although the time frames are correct, further research is required before accepting this information as fact.

He reserved for himself the right of use of the dwelling house, barn and old orchard during his natural life and "one halfe part of all the profits and gains whatsoever which shall yearly be made . . . and agreed to pay half of the taxes on the property."

Elder William Brewster was born circa 1566 in prob. Doncaster, Yorkshire, England.1,2,3,4,5 He was the son of William Brewster and Mary Smythe. On 3 December 1580, he enrolled at Peterhouse, Cambridge University at England however, he did not graduate.6,7 William was employed between 1584 and 1587 at England and Holland as an assistant to Sir William Davison, who in 1585 went to the Low Countries (Holland, etc.).8,9 William was employed between 1590 and 1607 at Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, England, as "Post" or postmaster, responsible for the relays of horses on the post road.10,11
William married Mary (?) circa 1593 in Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, England, [Date based on birth of first child].12
Research Note: The name of Mary Wentworth has been proposed for the wife of Wiliam Brewster. Articles published in TAG 41:1-5, 63; MQ 36:55-57, and NEHGR 124:250-254, confirm that additional research must be done before accepting this surname as a fact. In addition, a privately published pamphlet by John G. Hunt, "Of Mary Brewster, Wife of Wiliam Brewster of the Mayflower, from Plymouth, England to New Plymouth, New England" (1985), suggests that William Brewsters wife was named Mary Wyrall of Loversall, near Doncaster. This has yet to be proved. [Source: MFIP-Brewster:5 (Note a)]
He and Mary (?) emigrated in 1608 from Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, England, Leydon, Holland, where "he became elder and teacher of their church at Leydon."13
Between 1608 and 1620, William was employed or working as a teaching English and from 1616-1619, was a partner of the printer, Thomas Brewer. They secretly printed, for sale in England, books which were banned by the English Government at Leydon, Holland.8,14 William made an affidavit on 25 June 1609 at Leydon, Holland, of declaration before the magistrates of Leydon, Holland, in which "William Brewster of St. Ursualsteeg, Englishman, aged 42 years, Mary Brewster, his wife, aged 40 years, and their son Jonathan Brewster, aged 16 years" acknowledged reciept of cloths from Bernard Rosse of Amsterdam, Englishman - thus establishing their approximate dates of birth.15 He and Mary (?) emigrated in 1620 from Leydon, Holland, to Plymouth, New England on the ship Mayflower, and founded Plymouth Plantation.13,16,17 He lived at Plymouth, Plymouth Co., MA, New England, between 1620 and 1632.18 He lived at Duxbury, Plymouth Co., MA, New England, between 1632 and 1637.19
Elder William Brewster was on a list of freemen dated 1633 in Plymouth Colony, Plymouth, MA, New England.20
Elder William Brewster was appointed in 1636 at Plymouth, Plymouth Co., MA, New England, as Deputy to the General Court.21
Elder William Brewster died on 10 April 1644 in Duxbury, Plymouth Co., MA, New England,, [BFH states Place of Death as Duxbury; Col.

On 5 June 1644 in Plymouth, Plymouth Co., MA, New England, In the settlement of the estate by the "onely two sonnes surviveing," [Plymouth Colony Deeds I:198 (Jonathan and Love Brewster)] the estate was divided in half between Jonathan and Love Brewster and jonathan was directed to pay Love "for the dyett of Isaack Allerton, a grandchild of the said William, which he had placed with his sonn Love to table..."24
Research Note: He was the ruling "elder" on the Mayflower and at Plymouth in New England.25,26
William married Mary (?) circa 1593 in Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, England, [Date based on birth of first child].12
Research Note: The name of Mary Wentworth has been proposed for the wife of Wiliam Brewster. Articles published in TAG 41:1-5, 63; MQ 36:55-57, and NEHGR 124:250-254, confirm that additional research must be done before accepting this surname as a fact. In addition, a privately published pamphlet by John G. Hunt, "Of Mary Brewster, Wife of Wiliam Brewster of the Mayflower, from Plymouth, England to New Plymouth, New England" (1985), suggests that William Brewsters wife was named Mary Wyrall of Loversall, near Doncaster. This has yet to be proved. [Source: MFIP-Brewster:5 (Note a)]
