As mentioned in the July 30, 2018 post, the Brewer-Lanier Database (hereafter BLD) cannot and will not be updated. It will stand online as it was created on November 5, 2015, warts and all. This post will serve as a catalog of corrections to the BLD. As I am not actively researching this group of Brewers, I'll ask anyone who is, and who spots an error in, or as an addition to the BLD, to please submit it to me for inclusion below.
Nathaniel Brewer - found on person page 18, son of George Brewer, and named in his father's will. He died prior to 1810, but appears to have been living in 1800. The account of his family found here is incomplete. Posts found on this blog, beginning with the July 12, 2016 post, adds additional information on the heirs of Nathaniel. I have not worked out a genealogical summery for Nathaniel Brewer, but if there is anyone who has, or wishes to, I welcome you to submit it for inclusion here. Also see the posts of July 13, 2016, July 14, 2016, and July 15, 2016. (July 31, 2018).
Willis Brewer - found on person page 24. Willis is found on the 1810 U.S. census in Moore Co., North Carolina, on the 1820 U.S. census in Jackson Co., Ohio, but has not been located in 1830. Willis is a descendant of George Brewer, Y-DNA testing of a direct descendant proves that. However, he is not a son of James and Ann (___) Brewer as shown on the BLD. Comparison of Y-DNA test results with other descendants of James' father, William Brewer, versus the test results of others in the Lanier-Brewer subgroup, indicate that Willis most likely belongs to another branch of the family. The estimated death date for Willis, and the bullet point stating that he is mentioned in James Brewer's will should be removed. The son Willis mentioned in James Brewer's will (dated 27 July 1816, Brunswick Co., VA) may be the Willis Brewer who is found on the 1800 U.S. census in Northampton Co., North Carolina, and whose estate was administered there in March 1815 (but note that his estate was administered prior to the date on which James wrote his will), or perhaps the Willis Brewer, b. 7 April 1797 in North Carolina, died 10 October 1864 and is buried in Independence Co., Arkansas. (July 31, 2018).
