BenIf you are the Ben Brewer who posted on the family tree maker. I am searching for a connection for my grandfather Robert Brewer born in 1812 married Martha, He is living on a farm left by James or Jesse brewer.located on rte 601 near triplett Va in 1850. It runs along rattlesnake creek, If you are not familar with the area i can send you a mapmade in 1720. I saw your listing of a Roobert Brewer born 1818 son of Lewis. I have since heard that lewis(from Tenn) is not related to James Brewer and may have landed from a ship wrecked off the north carolina coast.
Do you have any info that may help tie my Robert to the Brewer families.here is a wiil of john Brewer.He bought the plantation that belonged to Stanley Flowerdew brother of Temperence flowerdew. This plantation was given to Temperence as a wedding gift by her new husband George Yeardley the ist governor of Virginia.John later gave part of the land to the church and a parish was built there. The plantation was called "Stanleys 100" the main house still stands near the James river.
the land granted in this patent is still known as "Brewers neck" and lies betweenBrewers and Chuckatuck creeks. John Brewer mentioned in the patent was a member of the house of burgesses for warwick river 1629-30 commissiuoner, member of the council 1632 and died in or before 1635his will has been published in Walters Gkeanings in new england historical and genealogical registerthe following abstract:,
