origins
He was not the son of Wrestling Brewster & Mary Holland.
He was not "John Brewster, innholder of Kingston, Mass," will dated 24 June 1766. (ref: http://interactive.ancestry.com/3223/mayflowerdeedprobate-000348.11... "John Brewster"] in Mayflower Deeds and Probates, 1600-1850
Nathaniel BREWSTER made his will March 16, 1684/5 in Suffolk County, Long Island. He is noted as having died c.Dec. 18, 1690 (his will was proved May 3, 1695). In the will he mentions his wife Sarah, his sons Timothy, Daniel, and John, and grandchildren Daniel and Abigail BURR (who were the children of his daughter Abigail who had married Daniel BURR).
From page 116 of Signers of the Mayflower Compact By Annie Arnoux Haxtun, mentioning eldest son John:
" ... Item--To John Brewster my eldest son I give & bequeath fifty acres of land laid out in ye plains as in ye records may appear and in case the sd [second] John be deceased or shall not otherwise dispose of it within seven years it shall return to & be equally divided between my sons Timothy & Daniel before named-- ... "
John born about 1645 died 1672 (??? record in error? John Brewster. "... likely remained in England with relatives of his mother when his father and new wife emigrated to America ...."
Could this John Brewster b 1673 have been the son of John b 1645, son of Nathaniel b ca 1618?
