He was married to Phebe Lucas, and lived his adult life at Cambridge, Washington Co., New York and later at Kortright in Delaware Co., New York. Elias Brewer served during the Revolutionary War and is buried at Riverside Cemetery, Oneonta, Otsego Co., New York.
Details and sources can be found at the Brouwer Genealogy Database website.
