I know I am descended from Thomas and Joseph Rogers Mayflower passengers. Connection finder suggests that I share lineage with Elder Brewster. Is there any way of knowing who other living relatives share my lineage?

By "share lineage" do you mean the Brewsters are ancestors, or WikiTree shows a "connection," which can include siblings and marriages; for example you have an ancestor who had a sibling who had a descendent who was married to a descendent of someone. WikiTree can tell you exactly what the connection is.

As for finding living descendants, profiles for living people are private by default, so it might be hard to get any kind of complete list.

William Brewster comes back as an ancestor thru his daughter Patience thru her daughter Hannah Prence thru her sister Mary Prence thru her  daughter Susanne Tracy thru her Son James Rogers thru his son Jonathan Rogers thru his son Timothy Rogers thru his son Albert Cobb Rogers thru his son Timothy Otis Rogers thru his son Fred K Rogers thru his son Otis Wendell Rogers thru his son Frederick W. Rogers (me) That puts Williamrewster as 12 degrees from me.

Both Brewsters show upon the ancestors and cousins page as ancestors in yellow. 12 generations removed.
