- Nathaniel Brewster, was the son of Love Brewster and Sarah Collier.[1]
He was named in his father's 1650 will. "and land at Duxburrow for her bringing up of her and my Children the time of her life and after her decease I doe give the aforsaid lands to my eldest sonn and heire apparent Nathaniell Brewster and in Case god should take him away out of this life without Issew I give and bequeath the said lands at Duxburrow to my second sonn Willam Brewster."[1]
He lived in Duxbury and died there in 1676. His nuncupative (oral) will was made in the presence of Benjamin Barlett, and proved Nov. 2, 1676. Bartlett encouraged Nathaniel "to settle matters relateing to his worldly estate." Nathaniel "said that if it should please God to take mee away after my debts be payed, I will Give all that I have to my wife; this land heer is none of mine, to dispose off; Butt there is some att the falls that shee shall have"[1]
This statement indicates that he had a wife, but no issue of his own, since without issue the land he lived on would revert to his brother, William, on his demise.[1]
Robert Vixen, was appointed administrator of the estate and a Robert Hickson married a Sarah Brewster Sept 26, 1679. Sarah may have been Nathaniel's wife.[1]
