Can you tell me if Elizabeth Brewster Adell is Ebenezer Brewster III mother or not, If so how could it be that she is Comfort Brewster 1174 wife, when she is Comfort Brewster 2367 wife? Thanks .George Brewster.
Thanks for your help. Cheryl
I descend from Ebenezer Brewster, b 1703, grandfather of this Ebenezer III.
As far as I know, there is no GSMD official lineage including Ebenezer b. 1703. There are many problems with documentation, including the fact that he abandoned his wife Elizabeth DeWolf Brewster in 1729 and she divorced him in 1739 when he was presumed dead. I descend from Charles, Ebenezer and Elizabeth's son, so my line is less problematic.
In terms of y-DNA, I am a descendant of Elder William Brewster. My y-67 test matches many descendants of William Brewster's sons Jonathan and Love. Recently, I was allowed to join the Mayflower DNA Project because of my y-67 test and willingness to upgrade to the highest-level test called BIGY-700. In this test, I match two men who are GSMD members and the three of us together created the standard for all male Brewsters with Elder William's DNA.
So, while we have proven with genetics that Ebenezer's (b 1703) line is 100% descended from Elder William Brewster, each generation-step of the way from there needs to be approved with birth, marriage, and death records for the male Brewster and his spouse. We cannot do this even with Ebenezer as no death record exists. My line goes for 3 more generations in Vermont that I can find records for, but then I hit the "no documents" problem in Lower Canada and New York State from 1799-1860. So, I cannot join GSMD based on paper.
