Elias Brewer's Will, 1809

Digital images of Elias Brewer's 1809 will can now be found at a new location. This is the FamilySearch.org website and you will have to sign in, although there is no charge for an account. The images were taken from FHL film #0832859 Delaware County, N.Y. Wills v. A-C 1797-1825, and were originally published on the old Brouwer Genealogy website.
Elias was baptized on 25 Dec 1740 at Readington, Hunterdon Co., New Jersey, the son of Elias Brouwer and Helena Willemse, and a great-grandson of Jan Brouwer of Flatlands. 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.

Elias Brewer's will is found in Delaware County Wills, Vol. B, pp. 130-131 (image no. 253 of New York Probate Records, 1629-1971, Delaware Wills 1797-1825 vol A-C).
