AMERICAN MINUTE with Bill Federer April 18th Plymouth Colony founder William Brewster died this day, April 18, 1644. He helped lead the Pilgrim’s church in England, allowing them to meet for worship at his home. He was captured, imprisoned, and later fled with them to Holland. He sailed with the Pilgrims to America, signed the Mayflower Compact and was elected a ruling elder. Governor William Bradford wrote of him: “My dear and loving friend, Mr. William Brewster… had… suffered much… for… the gospel’s sake and… this poor persecuted church for over thirty-five years in England, Holland, and this wilderness.” Federer, B.
