Richard, I cannot place Wilbur Brower's connection to Jacob Brower of Mayfield b. abt. 1786 in NJ. There were Browers in Johnstown and Southern Fulton Co. and Montgomery Co. that appear to be connected to the line of Browers descended from earlly Dutch descendents of Schenectady and Albany. This line is thought to be separate from the early Dutch descendents of Adam Berkhoven Brower in New York City. The Montgomery Co. Browers are discussed in "Darci's Place" http://darcisplace.com/darci/brower.htm At present there are no solid links between Jacob Brower and NJ family links. His father may have been Jacob. Many of the NJ Browers have been linked to early Dutch in NYC. Jim Brower

>There were several Brower families and I do not know if they are >related. Another early on from Johnstown Twp: 1. John (Jno) BROWER Sr. and Pheobe GODWIN had the following children: +2 i. John BROWER Jr.. 3 ii. Abraham G. BROWER was born on 7 Feb 1800 in Mayfield, Fulton Co., NY. 4 iii. Peter Books BROWER was born on 10 Apr 1807 in Montgomery (Fulton) Co., NY. 5 iv. Harriet Elizabeth BROWER was born on 18 Jul 1812. 6 v. William McDonald BROWER was born on 27 Jul 1815. Second Generation 2. John BROWER Jr. was born. John BROWER Jr. and Elizabeth were married. No dates known John BROWER Jr. and Elizabeth had the following children: 7 i. Jacob BROWER was born on 4 Sep 1817 in Montgomery (Fulton) Co., NY. 8 ii. Elizabeth

Hello All, I have a Wilbur Brower who lived in Fulton County. Wilbur was born about 1850 and married Elizabeth about 1875. They had a daughter Ida who married Philo Schermerhorn about 1898. Are any of these persons related to the Jacob Brower who was born in 1786? Richard

The Jacob BROWER that seems to be the progenitor of the Mayfield area Browers, seems from most of the census entries to indicate he was born 1786 in NJ, He was married to Phebe Hall and apparently in Fulton Co. by 1815. He died in Mayfield bet 1875 and 1880. Lee

Actually one would take the River to Canawaugha (Fonda NY ) and its just a short journey up the hill from there... (I guess the path of 30A was an old trail that has been there since the early 1700s...or there is the old road close by Fort Johnson that also goes up the hill into what is now Fulton Co.

The northern part of Gloversville is Kingsboro. This area was settled by Sir William Johnson in the 1750's with Scots-Irish . It sat across the Iroquois War Trail from Canada just north of his home - enough said. The first industry was leather tanning. There was a large supply of tamarac bark ( the main ingredient for tanning fluid) available. The glove making indusrty grew from this base. The avaiabilty of good tranportation via the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers helped make this flourish. It also gave an easy route for the immigrants to he mills. First from England, then Italy, then from Eastern Europe.

Hi Richard, Thank you. This will help me. My gggrandfather, Milton Tyler, died in 1851 in Wayne County after moving from Broadalbin about 1842/43. He had been in Montgomery/Fulton County since 1836. I knew he he was born in NYS.

Hi Joanne Gaudio, There were ships that sailed up the Hudson River from New York to Albany. From there you could take a boat on the Mohawk River or go overland from Albany to Fulton County. Richard

Hi, I do not think that any of the microfilms of any of New York State censuses are indexed. You have to look at every page. Richard

Hi Jim, The 1855 and 1865 New York State censuses show the NY county or the state in which a person was born. The 1845 Census lists the Head of the Household. Richard

LaSalle Co., IL) mother: Phylotha Webster. Sone unusual given names appear in this family. It's apparently a rather high-achieving family. This family moved relatively (about 1831, according to thebio of one of his sons) to Ashtabula Co. OH and then dispersed. Offspring. Lot Abraham Brower, a/k/a L.A. Brower, born Oppenheim in 1821, may have ended up in a mental ward in Grand Traverse Co., MI at the end of his life (1900 Census -- I assume that he died there because old people rarely recovered from mental conditions in those days. An attorney, married Cynthia Sage of Ohio. Children include Gertrude, Phineas, Pulaski, Philotha, Plumus, and Gurley. Irenaeus. Born 1816. Married Mary Green, I know little. Judge Hammond Healy Brower. Born 1819 in Fultonville, Montgomery, NY; buried 1909 near Wichita KS. Identified as a lawyer at age 81 in McCool NE. Had owned timber properties in Colorado. Elizabeth. Born 1824, and that's all I know of her. Arlineus Brower. Born 1811, died 1895. Married Sally Turner born in Ohio; she died in 1844 in Ashtabula Co., OH and he married a Mary Mathews. This is a widely-dispersed family that I have associated with Ohio, Michigan, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, and Florida (and in Florida during the early part of the 20th Century before lots of people from up North settled to escape the cold). But there are some strange given names that make this family easy to track. Does anyone have anything on Abra(ha)m's parents? I know of other BROWERs in Fulton County that I can connect to Adam BROUWER (1620-1692), an early Dutch immigrant to New Amsterdam (now of course NYC). Most BROWERs in New York City, northeastern New Jersey, and the Hudson and Mohawk valleys at or just before the American Revolution are descended from Adam BROUWER. Most BROUWERs changed the spellings of their surname to BROWER or BREWER around the time of the American Revolution. P.S. -- one bio says that Philotha Webster was 'related to the dictionarist Noah Webster'.

I have seen the "book" in the clerks office and pretty sure they are the same, the county record is a compilation of the records from each town. As far as index for the state census -not that I know of.. I spent quite a bit of time leafing through the 1855 census for areas of interest like the whole town of Mayfield several years ago.. Lee

Richard, Does the 1845 census record where the head of family was born? I am at winter quarters and do not have my files handy. Thank you.

Hi Joanne Gaudio, The 1845 Fulton County Census contains only the names of the Heads of families. The names of every member of a family is in censuses beginning in 1855. Richard
