Yes I was able to open the link.
I had suspected that the son Henry went to Mass. Thanks for confirming that. I do have Jeremiah (1770-1843) listed on the Brouwer Genealogy Database website but I do have to update his profile, and when I do so I will add in his son Henry.
I don't know for certainty Jeremiah's ancestry. I have him placed as a possible son of Abraham Brouwer (1739-1816) and Mary Elsworth. This is only based on the fact that the other, known children of this couple are found in the Totawa records, in particular sons William and Christopher who had children baptized there in the same time period as Jeremiah and Caty Cool did. Also William named a son, Henry. With some of these Brower families from the post Revolutionary period, the only think to go on is common location and common names.
I would add that it is probably certain that your Jeremiah is a descendant of Adam Brouwer's son Abraham, in some way or another (and if not he would have descended from Adam's son, Nicholas). All Jeremiah Brower's known (up through the mid to late 1800s) descend from one of two brothers, either Abraham or Nicholas Brouwer, both sons of Adam Brouwer.
Do you know where Jeremiah Brower died? And do you know the parents and birth date and place of Caty Cool/Cole?
And since you are a Brower, have you considered joining the Brewer DNA Project ? http://www.familytreedna.com/public/BrewerDNA/default.aspx
This project has done a lot to help descendants at least determine from which Brouwer, Brower or Brewer they are descended from. As more participants join the DNA evidence will only become clearer and more useful to all.
