I don't have to tell those who have spent time researching the Brower and Brewer families of Monmouth County that it is a difficult, complicated and sometimes frustrating endeavor. Branches of descendants of both Adam Brouwer of Gowanus and of Jan Brouwer of Flatlands are found in the county at the same time and some of the given names are found in both families. The possibility that there may be other Brewer families, unrelated to either the Adam Brouwer or Jan Brouwer families cannot be ruled out. Reformed Dutch Church records are less complete than those found in locations in New York, and in many cases, families of later generations drifted away from the Reformed Dutch Church and associated with some of the Baptist or Quaker congregations. Neither of these two groups practiced baptizing children and therefore no records of that sort are available. In addition, relatively few individuals left wills or other probate records. My own experience over the years in corresponding with individuals trying to crack problems in Monmouth County is that very few (if any) ever took a stab at researching land records. Now in the past, before the internet age that is, it was certainly more difficult to access these records. A physical trip to Monmouth County (or perhaps Salt Lake City or a local FHL center to view microfilm) was necessary. Well now much of these potentially missing pieces are now online thanks to FamilySearch.org. Looking over the list above, there are a number of deeds which indicate they correspond to the settling of an estate and so family relationships may be stated or strongly inferred from them. There may just be some answers here. We will continue in the future with the letter H.
