  • Notes 
    • The Mother of The Pilgrim Fathers.

      In 1564, Mary (Smythe) Simkinson, daughter of William Smythe of Stainforth, Hatfield, England, and widow of John Simkinson of Doncaster, Yorkshire, England, was married to a certain William Brewster of Scrooby.
      It is unclear as to where William and Mary went to live after their marriage, but it is generally thought that their first son, also called William was born in Scrooby in 1566/7.

      The young William was to grow up and become one of the most well known figures in history, as the elder churchman who sailed to America aboard the Mayflower and led The Pilgrim Fathers in their journey from Leyden in Holland to Plymouth in New England.

      William Brewster died 10 April 1644, in the colony he helped to build in Plymouth.
