The revered name of William Brewster takes center stage in the story of the Mayflower Pilgrims. Many Americans proudly trace their descent from this great man and yet very few know the name of his clergyman brother James, the Brewster who stayed behind in England.
Not for over a hundred years has anyone studied the history of Scrooby Manor with such care as Sue Allan now presents in her new book. Re-examining manuscripts and adding many previously unknown, she has built up a documentary basis for interpreting the remains of what was once a magnificent structure of more than thirty rooms, including a chapel now recognized as part of the existing house.
Sue Allan’s tenacious pursuit of origins of the Mayflower passengers in England led us from Dorothy May Bradford’s family, to William White’s family in Wisbech, which in turn led to her assembling all the pieces necessary to solve the mystery of the origin of Mayflower passenger Susanna (Jackson) White Winslow – something researchers have been trying to puzzle out for many decades without success.
How has it come to pass that when retelling the story of one of the most iconic events in early colonial American history, the women involved have almost disappeared into the shadow of men?
In this new work, Sue Allan presents significant research that disputes Samuel Webber’s early study of the origins of the Southworth line in America. The claim that Constant and Thomas, sons of Edward and Alice Carpenter Southworth, descend from the Samlesbury Southworths can no longer be upheld. The evidence she presents is compelling and sheds light on many of the Bradford, Southworth and other connections.

The ancestors profiled in this volume made difficult decisions in order to achieve a better life for themselves and their families in a new country. For John Ryan and Patrick Quinn, the destitution and death in Ireland between 1845 and 1852 due to the Great Famine (An Gorta Mór) likely fueled their decision to emigrate from Ireland to America.
