"Brewsters Notebook", By Milton Terry, pgs. 2,3,7,8. Estate Settlement of William Brewster of PlymouthIn [Shurtleff 12:115-117], a long agreement between Love Brewster and Jonathan Brewster is recorded (Plymouth Deeds). It reads, in part: "Whereas William Brewster late of Plym gent deceased left onely two sonnes surviveing viz. Jonathan the eldest and Love the yeonger And whereas the said William died intestate for ought can to this day appeare. The said Jonathan and Love his sonnes when they returned from the buriall of their father ..." agreed how to divide up the estate "wth an entire half part of the estate of the said Willm was given to the said Love and Sarah his wyfe upon a Covenant of Contract of marryage to be due at the death of the said Willm Brester now deceased. All wch was offerred to be prooved legally if neede require by solemne pmise though not in writing." Dated 20 Aug 1645.
Death: The exact date of his death is not known, but it is certainly between the date of his will (dated 11 Oct 1650) and the date his will was probated (10 Feb 1651). Given the way pilgrims did things, his death almost certainly occurred a few days before 10 Feb 1651, or at the earliest, in late january. Birth: From Robert M. Bartlett, "The Faith of the Pilgrims: An American Heritage", United Church Press, NY & Philadelphia, 1978, p. 159.

The executioner was Mr. John Holmes, the Messenger of the court, and in his account he claimed as due him �1 for ten weeks boarding of Granger, and �2/10 for executing Granger and eight beasts. Bradford described Granger as about sixteen or seventeen years of age. Someone saw him in the act with the mare, and he was examined and confessed. The animals were individually killed before his face, according to Leviticus 20:15, and were buried in a pit, no use being made of them. Bradford relates that on examination of both Granger and someone else who had made a sodomitical attempt on another, they were asked where they learned such practices, and one confessed he "had long used it in ENG," while Granger said he had been taught it by another, and had heard of such things when he was in ENG.21 [p.200] 2967.
