This post has been in the draft file for some months now. My original plan was to include an abstract of the above records. At this time that project would be too time consuming and is not possible within the foreseeable future, so rather than have this much of the post linger in the draft file, perhaps this can serve as a head start for anyone researching the Brewers of Mercer County, Kentucky.
*Daniel Brouwer/Brewer (1719-1791) is a great-grandson of Adam Brouwer of Gowanus, L. I. (Adam>Pieter>Abraham>Daniel).
