Notes about Grace Gascoigne

His wife, Mary, whose maiden name has not been proven, but most agree that it was
Wentworth, "dyed at Plymouth in New England the 17th of Aprill, 1627." Bradford
says that though she died "long before" her husband, "yet she dyed aged," but by her
affidavit of 1609 she was less than sixty years of age and it is probable that her "great,
& continuall labours, with other crosses, and sorrows, hastened it (i. e. old age) before
ye time." If in fact she was Mary Wentworth, she was probably the daughter of Thomas
and Grace (Gascoigne) Wentworth, who were married in Yorkshire, England. Thomas
was born in 1522 in Yorkshire, the son of William and Katherine (Beeston) Wentworth
who were born in 1490 and 1507 respectively. He died 27 March 1574 in Scrooby.
Grace Gascoigne was born in 1532 in Lasingcroft, England, and she died sometime
after 1590. Her parents were John and Anne (Vavasour) Gascoigne who were born in
1490 and about 1506 respectively.
Elder Brewster survived his wife many years and "dyed at Plymouth in New England
the 10th of Aprill 1644." This record is taken from a manuscript known as the Brewster
Book, in which the entry was made by the Elder's son, Jonathan, probably in the year
1644, certainly before 1651, and it is doubtless correct. He left a library of about four
hundred volumes, valued at £42. 19s. lid., of which the late Dr. Dexter succeeded in
identifying nearly every title from the very meagre record given in the inventory. August
20,1645, a final division of the Elder's estate was made by Bradford, Winslow, Prence
and Standish, between "Jonathan and Loue his onely children remayneing."
Gov. Bradford pays tribute to the character of his "dear, & louing friend," Elder William
Brewster, in the following words: "he was wise, and discreete, and well spoken haueing
a graue & deliberate vtterance, of a very cherfull spirite, very sociable & pleasante
amongst his friends, of an humble and modest mind, of a peaceable disposition, vndcr
vallewing him self, & his owne abilities, and some time ouer valewing others. Inoffen-
ciue, and inocente in his life & conuersation, tender harted, and compassionate of such
as were in miserie. In teaching, he was very mouing & staring of affections, also very
plaine & distincte in what he taught, by which means he became ye more profitable
to ye hearers. For the gouermente of ye church "he was earful to preserue good order
in ye same; and to preserue puritie, both in y° doctrine, & comunion of y° same; And
accordingly God gaue good success to his indeauors herein all his days, and he saw ye
fruite of his labours in that behalfe."
The Brewsters made the voyage to the new world accompanied by their sons, Love
and Wrestling, and two boys who were 'bound out', or indebted, to them. Their other
children at that time, Jonathan, Patience, and Fear followed them to Massachusetts at
a later time: Jonathan came on the Fortune, arriving at Cape Cod 9 November 1621;
the others came on the Ann in July of 1623.
