John Joseph and Delphia Jane divorced. John Joseph's second marriage to Rena Hutchin happened when my grandmother was 5 years old and Aunt Jereta (Jeretie as my grandmother called her) was her half sister. My grandmother Rosie married George Washington "Wash" Grimes and I am the oldest daughter of their youngest and only living son RV Grimes. Now about Hiram (John Joseph "Joe"'s daddy) and William Brewster were sent to live with Ezra and Jerena Byrd in Texas after their parent's died. My grandmother told this to my mom and dad (RV) first hand. Hiram and William's parents were Josia B Brewster born in Kentucky and a Muretta Jeneta (or Jereta) last name no t really given.in some searches Goff or byrd in others. I am trying to find the link between the Brewster and Ezra Byrd families. Possibly that Jerena and! Jereta were sisters and that is why Hiram and William were sent to live with them because they were the next of kin. Also I can't find anything on Josia B. Brewster other than he was born in Kentucky...no mother or father listed. Can you help in the search for our Brewster ancestors?
