Fear Brewster 
Fear was born about 1606 in Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, England. Fear's father was William Brewster and her mother was Mary. Her paternal grandparents were William Brewster and Mary Smythe. She was an only child. She died before December 12th, 1634.General Notes
Fear Brewster was the third daughter of Mayflower pilgrim William Brewster and his wife Mary. She was named Fear because at the time of her birth, the Puritans were holding secret meetings and were under constant threat of arrest. Her early years, and indeed her whole life, were full of unrest. In 1608 she moved, along with the other pilgrims, to Amsterdam (and later Leiden).
Fear was only 14 when her parents and two younger brothers left for America on the Mayflower. She was left in the care of her older siblings, Jonathan (born in 1593) and Patience (born in 1600). Jonathan joined the pilgrims in 1621 onboard the Fortune. Fear arrived in America with Patience onboard the Anne in July 1623.
Fear married Isaac Allerton, another Mayflower pilgrim, around 1626. He was 20 years her senior. They had a son, Isaac Allerton Jr., born about 1627. There is speculation that they had a daughter, Sarah Allerton, who was baptised on August 13, 1633 and probably died in infancy.
Fear died young, but the exact date is unknown. She died sometime before her sister Patience's death December 12, 1634.
