Of possible additional interest, Rev. John Brower's sister, Elizabeth (Betsy) Brower married John's brother-in-law, Rev. Joseph Harter,.and in 1836 they moved to Wabash County, Indiana. According to the Wabash County History Bicentennial Edition, 1976, "Joseph Harter, Sr., was the first resident preacher, elder, and moderator of the German Baptist Church (Dunkard) and preached in German." This would be referring to the North Manchester Church of the Brethren. John and Elizabeth were children of John Brower Sr. (1758-1812) and Mary Magdalene Titelow (1760 - 1845). Their brother, Abraham Brower also married a Harter, Elizabeth, daughter of George Harter and Magdalena Kitterman. George was another brother of Rev. John Brower's father-in-law. Bob Harter

Were there 2 John Brower's who were German Baptist ministers? I could have misinterpreted things, but it looks like there are 2 different lineages given for him here. The first lists him as a son of Enoch Brower and Frances Veronica Eikenberry, and husband to Hannah Miller, who died in Allen County, OH circa 1856. The second lists him as a son of John Brower, Sr. (grandson of immigrant, Christian Brower), and Mary Magdalene Titelow.
