Brewer through William Franklin Brewer who married Margaret Selina Birdwell, a daughter of William Page Birdwell. The officiating minister of their wedding was John Blount. Apparently W.P. Birdwell and a great many Brewers went to church at Holly Springs in Carroll County Tennessee where I believe John Blount must have been the pastor. I would be happy to exchange information. I am really just getting started, but have discovered many cousins I had no idea I had and they are also interested in genealogy research. We are stuck on N.D.J. Brewer's brothers or father. There is also a James W. Brewer that was born about 1775 and died in 1838 in Carroll County. The executor of his estate was Joseph Brewer. Were Joseph and Nathaniel brothers? Who was your James W. Brewer' mother? I'll be happy to make contact.
