Married PHEBE SMITH 1712 in Brookhaven, Suffolk County, NY. See her record for a list of their children.

NATHANIEL BREWSTER was a grandson of the Rev. Nathaniel Brewster, and he left behind a few clues as to the particulars of his life and times as follows:

From "Abstracts of Wills" Vol III 1730-1744, p. 86: "Page 428.--William Cosby, Esq., Captain-General and Governor. Whereas, NATHANIEL BREWSTER, ESQ., lately died intestate, Letters of Administration are granted to his wife, Phebe Brewster, and her brother, Obadiah Smith, Esq., December 6, 1732."

"Colonial Families of Long Island, NY, and Connecticut", Vols 1,2,3,4, Parts 1 & 2, Herbert Furman Seversmith, M.A., Washington DC, 1939, p. 365:
Nathaniel is "buried in the churchyard of the First church at Setauket...He was a justice of the peace, and appears on a church list in 1719. He was probably also a miller, as he was given permission in May, 1724 to build a grist mill on the Beaver Dam River."
