The above man named Smith Brower b. 1817 in Queens Co, NY might be the son of James Brower and Susan Smith. James and Susan Smith had a daughter named Jane Brower b. 1800 who married Samuel Abrams. I am 'thinking' that the name SMITH was in honor of the prominate Smith family of Long Island. I have no idea. In the 1820 census at Queens Co NY, there is ONLY 1 Brower household listed and that is James Brower, listed almost nextdoor to James Smith, and on the same page as Jacob Brewer. The Brouwer/Brower/Brewer names can be all one ancestry, or they could be separate and distinct ancestral lines. My experience has been with the immigrant Adam Brouwer who arrived in Manhattan in 1642, and settled in Brooklyn. I am not familiar with the BROWER name in Eastern section of Long Island. Can anyone shed light on this Smith Brower family? Here are the census locations for this family: #1. 1850 living at Islip, Suffolk Co Ny #2. 1860 " " " " #3. 1870 " " " " #4. 1880 " " " " Smith Brower b. 1817 was a Boat man, his son John was a Livery stable owner, his son Alonzo was a Boatman, his son Henry was a Station agent, his son Ezra was a Seaman. Please write back with information or connections. Best regards, Lilly Martin
