Thanks!!
I've added your statistics on Wilson's children that I didn't have and would love to have more information about the family.Did you know that "Wilson Brewer died in December 1856 of stab wound over a bet as to whether
James Buchanan would be elected President - Wilson won the bet, but lost his life".(This is a quote from another descendant of Wilson.)
This same desc provided these sources of his information:
1.Sara Brewer Bonebright, and Harriert Bonebright Closz. REMINISCENCES OF
NEWCASTLE, IOWA, 1848: A HISTORY OF THE FOUNDING OF WEBSTER CITY, IOWA. Des
Moines, IA: Historical Department of Iowa, 1921.
2."Wilson Brewer." THE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD OF HAMILTON COUNTY IOWA.New
York: S.J. Clarke, 1902
3."Brewer," and "Edwin Wilson Brewer." THE HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY, IOWA,
1985. Dallas: Curtis Media Corporation, 1986.
