    3. Iona, These folks are part of my Brewster line that I've been working on for several years along with great help from a Brewster cousin in Sackville, NB. > 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. John Pierce Brewster was the son of Samuel Brewster and Tabitha Baldwin. Samuel was the son of William Brewster and Patience. William was the son of Benjamin Brewster and Anne Addis. Benjamin was the son of Jonathan Brewster and Lucretia Oldham. Jonathan was the son of Elder William Brewster and Mary. Here is what I have on the family group of John Pierce, and his son Pierce. I descend from John Pierce's son Nathaniel. Name: John Pierce BREWSTER Birth: 1738 1 Burial: Sup. Kiever Cemetery, Beaver Brook, NB Father: Samuel BREWSTER (1700-1776) Mother: Tabitha BALDWIN (1699-) Research Came to Halifax in 1750's and to Shepody in 1760's. 1 He and his wife are supposed to be buried in Beaver Creek, but Bill Brewster has not been able to locate them there. A genealogy group there says he has a stone about a mile and a half off the road, but that needs to be confirmed. A large part of Albert County was called Hopewell Twp in early times. >From information received from Robert Miller, a descendant of Nathaniel, whose father researched the family, "The pioneer Brewster in Albert County named Nathaniel Brewster was the son of John Pierce Brewster, who had six sons - four of them came to Albert County. Their names were Nathaniel, William, Thomas, and Pierce. Two other sons- John and Alexander went from (Goshen) to Ohio."
