S.C.H.&G., XXVII, 226; LIII, 15 From # 303 Marriage. Mr. Jeremiah Brower, Merchant, to Miss Susanna Miller, Daughter of Stephen Miller, Esq.

He came to Charleston in 1772. > > Here is my question: what website might give me the best information about specifically SC in the Rev. War? For example: would a website have his military records, or at least his name listed as enlisted? > > Jeremiah Brower, Jr was a shipping lines owner in Charleston, but his obit refers to him losing his 'wealth' to the BRITISH in the War. > > I wanted to find out the names of his ships, and what did the British take away from him? I am guessing they captured his ships and used them for themselves? > > Also, is there a special cmetery which holds the Revolutionary War dead in Charleston? I am wondering where to look for his burial place, and thought perhaps that might be the place. If I can find his burial place, I might find his wife next to him, as I still do not know her name, or if they had kids. > Best regards, > Lilly Martin > > > ==== SCCHARLE Mailing List ==== > > >
