Hello, I would like to know if anyone is researching or interested in Nicholas Brouwer/Brower/Brewer b. 1714 NJ, who lived at Wappingers Falls, Dutchess Co NY. He arrived from NJ to live in Wappingers Falls in about 1742, originally with his father and his father's family, but his father died suddenly in 1742, and so he and his siblings lived there on their inherited lands, after their father's death in 1742. His ancestry is this: 1. Adam Brouwer b. 1620, m. Magdalena Verdon, d/o Jacob. 2. Nicholas Brouwer, m. Jannetje Colyer, d/o Jeuriean. 3. Adolphus Brouwer, m. Jannetje Verdon, d/o Jacob. 4. Nicholas Brouwer b. 1714, m. Maria Dutcher, m. secondly Sarah Drake. Nicholas Brouwer used the spelling of Brower, however clerks sometimes used the BREWER spelling on records. He operated his father's Mill on Wappingers Falls (Wappingers Creek) in the area now called Fishkill, Dutchess Co NY. He died 1778, leaving a wife Sarah Drake and children. His children with his first wife Maria Dutcher are: Jannetje Brower , m. William Conklin; Nicholas Brower b. 1747 m. Mary Birdsall (he was a Capt. in Rev War); David Brower b. 1750 m. Sara Briggs; Elizabeth Brower b. 1758; Maria Brower b. 1761. His children with his second wife are: Sarah Brower b. 1771; Cornelia Brower b. 1775; William Brower; Jeremiah Brower ; Jacob Brower b. 1772 m. Abigail Manning ; Catherine Brower; Helena Brower m. Joshua Manning. When Nicholas Brower died in 1778, his widow Sarah Drake Brower remarried to Stephen Callow, a furniture dealer, and they lived in Clinton, Dutchess Co NY. Their next door neighbors were the many Manning families of Clinton. The younger children of Nicholas Brower were raised by their step-father Stephen Callow in Clinton, NY. Fishkill and Clinton are not very far apart in distance. I would like to hear from anyone who has information on the children of Nicholas Brower, from both wives, and anyone connected to this family group. I am trying to gather the children and grandchildren of Nicholas Brower b. 1714 NJ. Best regards, Lilly Martin
