I have been researching the Brewster line for years and I have never seen the Brewster Coat of Arms. Does anyone out there have a paper copy that they would share. Nothing huge or fancy, I just want to include it in the Brewster history. My e-mail is <touche@inetone.net> and my snail mail is: Kenneth Powell, RR 3, Box 178, Bluefield, WV 24701. Thank, Kenneth.

I've not having any luck tracing my Brewster Line. Hope someone knows of a connection. 1. Alexander Brewster - bn c. 1763, d. 7 Apr 1826 in Erie, PA m. Mary(c. 1761-1823) 2. Alexander W. Brewster - bn 1796 in Allegheny Co., Pa, d. 1851 Erie, Pa m. Susan M. Jones 3. Susan m. Lowell Little 3. Chester A. 3. William - bn. 1828, m. Mary Swan 2. J. C. Brewster - bn 1799, d. 1820 in Erie, PA 3. Mary Brewster - bn. 1803 m. Thomas Mehaffey in 1822 4. Margaret Brewster m. George Brown 3. Rees Brown

This Web page has been updated as of today, 22-FEB-1999. It now includes household numbers for 1810 and 1820 and name of town for 1790 for each of these households. I also found a couple more records that were not previously listed. Thanks for visiting this site--there were 30 of you who went to check it out! http://www.angelfire.com/mi/brewsterlist/vtcensus.html Jeannie-ology : )

Hi everyone, I wanted to follow up on what I learned about the parents of John Pierce Brewster, as I did manage to find David Christopher again and check with him. It was in fact speculative on his part, so in light of knowing that Samuel's will does not list him as a member of his family, I agree that it's no longer even a reasonable guess, and the parent's of John Pierce Brewster are unknown. He and I would have worked that out long ago had I not lost my e-mail records. So thanks for the corrrection and clarification. Cheers, Bruce

I've created a Web page showing an index to all BREWSTERs in the DAR Lineage books. You can view it at: http://www.angelfire.com/mi/brewsterlist/darindex.html Many libraries have a complete set of the DAR Lineage books. Jeannie-ology : )

Just for fun, you may want to go to this Web site to see the U.S. distribution of surnames that you are researching. http://www.hamrick.com/names/ Jeannie-ology : )

If any of you are researching BREWSTERs of Vermont, I have created a Web page showing an index of the Federal Census records for 1790 through 1860. You can view them at http://www.angelfire.com/mi/brewsterlist/vtcensus.html Happy hunting! Jeannie-ology : )

Greetings, In the past few days I've received several wonderful messages concerning the Brewsters that I'm researching. It seems that I have a flu bug or something so I just wanted to say that I do have your messages and I'll try to answer as soon as I feel up to sitting up for more than a few minutes. Thank you for all your support. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Take care and keep smilin'..........Iona ilmeyer@mgl.ca kent.net/~ilmeyer/meyer.html Guelph Ontario Canada

> In response to Bruce Woodworth's posting of 12-FEB-1999, I am wondering what > evidence has been unearthed that JOHN PIERCE BREWSTER is a son of SAMUEL and > TABITHA BALDWIN? Well, actually, that information was given to me several years ago in an "in-process" electronic book sent to be by David Christopher called "The Descendants of Elder William Brewster in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick". He had done extensive research, interviewed Brewster descendents still living, etc. At that time I was just starting out in genealogy, and I had no reason at all to doubt the connection. It looks perfectly logical. I spent my limited research time piecing together the loose clues of the next three generations there, using information he had already discovered as the foundation. Unfortunately, I lost all my e-mail records about a year ago, with David's contact information included. I have no idea what evidence he may have had. I had never seen a copy of Samuel's will, and I agree that it is suspicious that John Pierce is not listed. I will see if my cousin in New Brunswick knows where to find him, as he is the one to know why the connection is claimed with such apparent absolute certainty. I know there is a very strongly held oral family tradition that these descendants of John Pierce Brewster stem from Elder William Brewster. It proves nothing, of course, but there is often some truth to these claims. In the meantime, can anyone else out there offer any clues? Cheers, Bruce

I am looking for information on: Hannah Brewster b. December 02, 1690; d. May 12, 1773 who married Joseph Freeman on December 02, 1708 Samuel Freeman b. June 25, 1726; d. May 28, 1801 who married Elizabeth Brewster, b. October 27, 1732; d. December 22, 1806 Elizabeth (Betsey/Bitsey) Freeman b. January 14, 1764 who married Elisha Lester, son of Timothy Lester and Mehitable Belcher. Elisha Lester, b. May 18, 1795; who married Sarah Smith Can anyone confirm or refute.

Hi, List. My only BREWSTER is Mary b. abt 1850 TN, m. John W. ELKINS abt 1870, had three sons, James Riley, Dan, and Will all b. TN 1870s. Mary reportedly died in childbirth abt 1880. I'm inclined to believe her name was BREWSTER because her grandson's (my father) first name was Brewster.

In response to Bruce Woodworth's posting of 12-FEB-1999, I am wondering what evidence has been unearthed that JOHN PIERCE BREWSTER is a son of SAMUEL and TABITHA BALDWIN? Information follows about the known children of SAMUEL and TABITHA. If JOHN P. BREWSTER is their son, why was he not mentioned in his father's Will? Note that SAMUEL and TABITHA's son, SAMUEL, was living in Nova Scotia at the time of SAMUEL's death. If SAMUEL made note of one son who was living in Canada, why is JOHN P., who was also in Canada, not mentioned? From the birth dates of his children, it is evident that he was still living at the time of SAMUEL's death which occurred before 24 June 1776. Also note that "The Brewster Genealogy" does not show JOHN P. as their son. Thanks for any additional information that will confirm JOHN PIERCE BREWSTER's ancestry.

I am still searching for Pinkney Brewster, all is know is he was born c1818, I don't know where, he was married to Meakey Hix (Mecha Hicks) in Franklin Co. Ga. in 1835. If anyone know this name I would like to hear from you, I really need a lead on this one, Thanks Jamie

I've just started researching the BREWSTER name in NB for my sister. Her husband is Dwight Brewster son of Cyril Palmer BREWSTER. I've said I'd do some research for them to get them started. The only information that I have so far is: John Peerse (Pierce) BREWSTER, married Margaret MORRISON. Their son, Peerse, married Temperance ROBINSON., whose grandmother was Ruby GREENLEAF. Peerse and Temperance had the following children: William born 1811, Alexander b 1817, John P. BREWSTER b 1819 Eleanor BREWSTER b 1826 Lucy BREWSTER b 1829 Henry Alonzo BREWSTER b 1833. I don't know how Dwight and his dad link to these people yet. Dwight's aunt is Betty Brewster and she is an author. They believe there is a connection to Longfellow the poet. They've been told of underground presses, smuggling of books etc. They believe that there was a William who came from Nova Scotia. If any of these names are familiar to you I'd love to hear from you. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Take care and keep smilin'..........Iona ilmeyer@mgl.ca kent.net/~ilmeyer/meyer.html Guelph Ontario Canada
