    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BkB.2ACE/501.499.2.1 Message Board Post: Hello, My wife, Darla Brewer, is the g-granddaughter of Christian's daughter, Caroline. Caroline married William Brewer Dec. 9, 1850 in Jefferson Co. They moved to Kimble or Medina Co., TX after the lawsuit was settled. Their son, Andrew Erasmus Brewer, b. 1855, Jefferson Co. TX grew up on a cattle ranch in West Texas. Andy married Martha Ann Click in Bandera Co. and had about 9 kids. They moved to Klamath Co. OR about 1910. Their youngest son, William (Bill) Brewer, born ca June 9, 1900 in Rio Frio, TX was my father-in-law. Bill was the owner/manager of the Darling - Brewer Ranch in Fort Klamath, OR from 1925 until his death in 1991. William and Caroline BREWER were in their 40s when my father-in-law was born and my father-in-law was 42 when my wife was born. Because of those two births late in life, Christian and Eurasie are only seperated from my wife by two generations, Andy and Bill. I would love to get a copy of the discharge papers you have. However, I think the papers are for my wife's great uncle, Christian Espar Hillebrant, another child of Christian and Eurasie Blanchette. Both Christian Sr. and Eurasie were deceased before the start of the Civil War. I'll gladly pay for copying and postage. Grant Johnston, Chico, CA
