Arms: Sable, a chevron ermine between three estoiles argent (Brewster) (Burke, Sir Bernard, The General Armory, London, 1884, p.121, with variants) impaling Chequy or and gules (Molton) (Burke, 1884, p.693 "Molton of Lincolnshire"). His grandson was Humphrey Brewster (1752-1797) who died unmarried and was the last in the male line. (Burke, Heraldic Dictionary of the Landed Gentry, 1862, p.148[1])

Wikipedia: The Tudor brick mansion of Wrentham Hall (now lost) is said to have been built around 1550 by Humphrey Brewster, Esq. (c. 1527-1593) (see his monumental brass in Wrentham Church), the elder son of Robert Brewster (of a well-established Suffolk family) and his wife, daughter of Sir Christopher Edmonds of w:Cressing Temple, Essex. (B. Burke, Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Landed Gentry of Great Britain and Ireland, 2 Parts (Harrison, London 1862), I, p. 148). It passed down in the Brewster family from Humphrey to his son Francis (1566-1644) and from Francis to his son Robert Brewster (1599-1633), a Parliamentary commissioner during the Civil War and MP for both Dunwich and Suffolk. From Robert it passed to his son Francis Brewster (1623-1671), also MP for both constituencies, and then, Francis having no sons, to Francis' brother Robert (died 1681). After several more generations it descended to Humphrey Brewster, who died unmarried in 1797.
