Anney Brewer, married James Johnson with NJ license dated 24 March 1761, both of Monmouth County, was the widow of Pieter Brouwer/Peter Brewer (Jan) whose estate was administered 22 September 1759 (he was of Shrewsbury). She was born Antje Van Dyk (I have not researched her ancestry). See the post of September 17, 2013

The above marriages can also be found online at the New Jersey State Archives (NJSA) Searchable Database and Records Request Forms - Colonial Marriage Bonds, 1655-1799. Individual records can be ordered from the New Jersey State Archives (follow the instructions). The fee as of this post is $5 per record. The entry above for John Brewer and Mary Wickoff, Hunterdon County, comes up in this searchable database as Henry Brewer and Mary Wickoff. This might be one to order.
