I am attempting to find info on the Tolliver and Brewer families of Coffee and Warren Counties. Are these Brewers descended from Russell Brewer and his wife Nancy Tolliver? Are the Tollivers descended from one or more of Nancy Tolliver's brothers who were in Warren County, TN by 1806???? If so, they're distantly related to me. I am descended from Capt. George Howell of Grayson County, Virginia through his son John Howell and Nancy (Brewer) Howell of White county, TN. George Howell's sister, Tabitha Howell born c. 1760, was the wife of John Toliver of Ashe/Wilkes County, N.C., and they were the parents of Nancy Tolliver wife of Russell Brewer. I have not been able to determine if Russell Brewer was a son or nephew of Lewis and Agatha Holland Brewer of Grayson County, Virginia, from whom I descend through Nancy Brewer, wife of John Howell. There must be a connection between these Grayson County, VA Brewers to Russell Brewer, who is said to be from Ashe County, N.C. (immediately South of Grayson County, VA). I suspect him to be a near relative of Lewis Brewer of Elk Creek, Grayson County, Virginia (1760-1839). Thanks, Will Smith Hillsboro, Coffee County, TN
