Biography

"Brewster ... his son Jonathan ... His daughter Hannah m. in 1656, John Thompson, and d. at Setauket, L. I., Oct. 4, 1687." Quote from The History of the Descendants of Elder John Strong, of Northampton, Mass by Benjamin Woodbridge Dwight, published 1871.

This statement is what has led to the confusion of Hannah Brewster's husbands. Hannah who is documented as Hannah Brewster (not Thompson) marrying Samuel Starr in 1664 cannot then have been the Hannah who married John Thompson. Therefore she is not the Hannah born 1641.

Editing Note 9/21/14: Removing John Thompson as husband.^[1]
