Based on census records you can draw the conclusion that they had about 9 children. I believe that all the male children have now been identified and 1 or 2 of the female children have been. Below is what I believe to be the male children and 1 female child (4 other females unidentified, except one other is speculated to be Penelope or Peniney) New to the list is Moses Brewer. > > 1 Margeret Hill 1784 - Aft 1870 > ..+Jacob Brewer 1780 - Bef 1850 > .........1 Jesse Brewer 1805 - > .........2 John Brewer 1808 - > .........3 Moses Brewer 1810 - 1850 > .........4 Hamilton Brewer 1817 - > .........5 Sarah Brewer 1827 - > > Of these children Jesse & John remained in Robeson County N.C.
