http://www.unf.edu/faculty/rbradl/ancestor/i0000037.htm#i1589 He came to America from England aboard the ship Fortune which arrived 9 November 1621. He was a Deputy to the General Court of Plymouth Colony 1639, 1641, and 1644. Eldest son of the pilgrim William Brewster, he moved from Stonington and became clerk of Winthrop's New London, or "Pequit" plantation. In 1650 he established the first Indian trading post on land that Chief Uncas had given him, across the river from Uncas' Shantok Fort, also known as "Brewster's Neck", located in the town of Preston. (see Burpee, Vol II, p.
607) Calkin's History of Norwich points out, though, that he was a little hasty in setting up business, as he had not procured a license from Connecticut. The General Court, in May 1650, noted:
"Whereas Mr. Jonathan Brewster hath set up a trading-house at Mohigen, this Courte declares that they cannott but judge the thinge very disorderly, nevertheless considering his condition {referring to losses in the Old Colony}, they are content hee should proceed therein for the present, and till they see cause to the contrary." From this point on, Brewster's Neck and Trading Cove became the principal places of traffic with the Mohegan indians. In May, 1657, he was selected as an Assistant for the town of Pequett.
