Most of what I have on Walter comes from the SFAA Update Volume on the John Jr. (or should I say 3rd?) line. Josiah> John> Reuben> Walter b. 19 Sep 1770 in Thetford VT. The book says his wife was named Elsa - surname unk. My notes say her name was Lucy and that the LDS have her as Lucy but I have not personally checked that out. Still no surname. I have Walters children as Reuben b. 12 Dec 1791 Roxa b. 31 Aug 1793 Polly b. 27 Aug 1794 Harriet b. 13 Feb 1796 Ezra Brewster b. 25 Mar 1798 Amos b. 11 Jun 1799 Naomi b. 10 Jun 1801 David b. 11 Mar 1806 Abigail b. 23 Jun 1809 along with some handwritten notes questioning the last 4. I do not know why. I have that Walter died in Lima, Ontario County NY which is just South of Rochester. I looked it up on the map and I'm tring to figure out why THERE?And now I wonder about possible connections to Strongs in Rochester. I did not think we were closely related. I am also KICKING myself for not paying closer attention because I drove very close to their over the summer and I should have stopped. Son Ezra Brewster got married way over in Warren co which is near Lake George. Then he came back west and settled near Freedom twnship. I have a theory about son David. There is record in Illinois of an early settler named David Strong who came from VT and would have been the right age but I don't have much of anything to go on with this. If you know anything else about this David, I would LOVE to hear it. Keep in touch. Lindsey
