Henry Brewster1 (M)
#3344
Pedigree

     Henry Brewster was the son of William Brewster and Maude Man.1
     Henry Brewster was appointed in 1598 at Sutton-cum-Lound, England, Henry Brewster had been the vicar at Sutton-cum-Lound since 1565. In 1584 a James Brewster became master of the Hospital [poor farm and old folk's home] at Bawtry, a mile above Scrooby, and in 1598 succeeded Henry Brewster as the vicar at Sutton-cum-Lound. Though previous researchers failed to find any connection between the various Brewsters in and around Scrooby, Walter H. Burgess, "John Robinson, Pastor of the Pilgrim Fathers"; London, 1920, is convinced that all were related, suggesting that James Brewster was a brother to our Elder William. If so, it is curious that the pilgrims' ruling elder never once alluded to the vicars of the neighboring hamlet. Further research should be completed before accepting this data as fact.1

     Edmund Freeman was born on 5 October 1655 in Sandwich, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.1,2
     As of 5 October 1655, Edmund was also known as Edmon Freeman (Spelling on Birth Record).3

     Research Note:  Another entry [orig. pg. 171] appears which reads: "Edmond Freeman the son of Edmond Freeman Ju was borne". This entry is not in the same hand as the three preceding entries, and was left unfinished, probably because the clerk noted that the birth of Edmund had already been recorded in the middle of the page. "Oct. 5, 1658" has been added in a modern hand, apparently by Mr. Ellis (Town Clerk), in 1869. A comparison of his "copy" [Sandwich Book 3 "Births 1803-1842, Intentions of Marriage and Marriages 1813-1827" Pgs. 496-510] with the original records makes it evident that he intended to complete the original entry from the one above, but made an error in the year. [Source: Sandwich VR 1:x, xi, 12 (footnote)].
He was the son of Edmund Freeman , Jr. and Margaret Perry.1
     On 4 March 1696/97, Edmund Freeman recieved a love and affection Indenture from Edmund Freeman , Jr. who deeded "all that messuage or Tenniment on which the sd. Edmond Freeman Sr. now dwelleth with all the upland meadow Ground marsh and all other lands of what sort or kinds soever which he hath . . . in the township of Sandwich… with his dwelling House barne and orchards." 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." Margaret Freeman did not quitclaim on the deed.
     At a later date, Edmund Freeman, Sr. required clarification of his action and "was informed that he had given away to his son all that he had, leaving nothing to dispose to his daughters," nor for his own use. After his death, his brother John Freeman, Esq. gave testimony about looking into the matter. John also related that Edmund Sr. had complained about a loan of six pounds made to his son Edmund which the son refused to repay on demand. When questioned, the son acknowledged the loan but maintained the money had been repaid [Tag 40:103-110].4
     Edmund Freeman died on 11 February 1718 in Eastham, Barnstable Co., MA, New England,, at the age of 62 years, 4 months and 6 days (ts record - see photo). He was buried after 11 February 1718 at Cove Cemetery, Eastham, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.5

Rachel Freeman1 (F)
b. 4 Sep 165[*], #3356
Pedigree

     Her married name was Rachel Landers.
     Rachel married John Landers, son of Thomas Landers and Jane Kirby. She was born 4 Sep 165[*] in Sandwich, Barnstable Co., MA, New England, The last figure in the birth year of Rachel has been marked over and is now practically illegible. Savage's Genealogical Dictionary, in 1860, and Freeman's History of Cape Cod both give the year as 1659, and it seems unlikely that Rachel was born only eleven months after her sister Margaret, as the date in the Ellis copy, "1653" would have it.1,2 She was the daughter of Edmund Freeman , Jr. and Margaret Perry.1
     As of circa 1659, Rachel was also known as Rachell ffreemand (spelling from birth record).2

The parents of George Cosford are unknown. Although the will of a John Cosford of the nearby parish of Ashby St. Ledgers mentions a son named George, [Sherman, supra note 1 pp. 159-60] that will was made in 1533; if the son George is father-in-law of the Pilgrim Thomas Rogers, he is considerably older than one might have anticipated.
