Crispus and Mary Brewer married about 1649 in Ipswich, Essex County, Massachusetts.

Crispus and Mary had the following children:

  1. Mary, b. probably about 1653-1656, bpt. November 13, 1659 in Boston,[3][4] m. November 18, 1674 John Richards in Lynn[5]
  2. Sarah, b. probably about 1655-1657, bpt. November 13, 1659 in Boston,[3][4] m. March 12, 1677/8 Samuell Gravs in Lynn[5]
  3. Thomas, b. sometime in 1657-8, bpt. November 13, 1659 in Boston,[3][4] m. December 4, 1682 Elizabeth Gravs in Lynn,[5] d. October 8, 1702[6]
  4. Anna/Hannah, b. probably in fall of 1659, bpt. November 13, 1659 in Boston,[3][4] m. February 2, 1681 Samuell Ingolls in Lynn[5]
  5. Elizabeth, bpt. December 9, 1660 in Boston,[7][8] m. April 18, 1683 John Lewis Jr in Lynn[5]

  7. Rebecka, b. August 28, 1667 in Lynn,[10] d. July 27, 1690 in Lynn[6][11]

The reason why Crispus and Mary's first four children were baptized together on November 13, 1659 is that their mother, Mary, only became a member of the First Church of Boston (where they were baptized) on November 6, 1659.[12] Since all the records relating to his family refer to Mary as a member but not Crispus,[12][3][7] it is likely that Crispus himself was ever a member of the church.
