He was born on September 26, 1939 in Newark, New Jersey, the son of Gaylord Clark Brewster, and Marjorie Jane Anderson.
He was born into a family with Midwestern roots that traces back directly to Mayflower passengers, Love Brewster, a founder of the town of Bridgewater, Massachusetts; Elder William Brewster, the Pilgrim colonist leader and spiritual elder of the Plymouth Colony; and William Bradford, Governor of the Plymouth Colony and the second signer and primary architect of the Mayflower Compact in Provincetown Harbor.
He graduated in 1961, Phi Beta Kappa, with a Bachelor of Arts from Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut and he received his Master's Degree from Yale University in 1963.
In 1962, he married Joyce Skaggs, a 1961 graduate of Smith College.
