Daniel Brewer, John Brewer, Paris Brewer, Samuel M. Brewer - Deeds at Broadalbin, Fulton Co., New York

The deeds below are found in Fulton County Land Records, post 1838 when Fulton County was formed from Montgomery County. The abstracts are arranged chronologically by date of the deed. The records all involve Daniel Brewer (often called "Junior") and his wife Hannah; John Brewer and his wife Elsy/Alce (Elsie); Paris Brewer; Samuel M. Brewer and his wife Mary A. Members of this group have their surnames consistently recorded as BREWER (and not Brower) in the Fulton County records. A descendant of John Brewer and Elsie (Mosher) has taken a Y-DNA test with the Brewer DNA Project, and the results clearly show that he (the descendant) and therefore his direct paternal ancestor (John Brewer) are descendants of Adam Brouwer of Gowanus, L. I.  Please see the post of March 15, 2017.

Of the BREWERs found in the above records, Samuel M. Brewer is a son of John Brewer and Elsie Mosher. Daniel Brewer, Jr. is a son of Daniel Brewer and Sarah Clark. The elder Daniel was age 79 in 1850 when enumerated at Pitt, Wyandot Co., Ohio. More on this family and the Clark family will be forth coming in a future post. Paris Brewer is a son of Daniel Brewer, Jr. and Hannah, and my inkling is that John Brewer is a son of Daniel Brewer and Sarah Clark, and a brother of Daniel Brewer, Jr.. But we want to look through more records first.
