• The families and connections for Jacob Brower are based largely on an unpublished record found in the collection of the New Jersey Genealogical Commission, D.A.R., 1956-1957 (Miscellaneous Genealogical Information) a copy of which is with the William B. Bogardus Collection. The ancestry shown for Jacob's father, Isaac Brouwer is incorrect as stated in the collection's record (it follows a long disproved line back to Anneke Jans). The information regarding Jacob's descendants, however, appears to be possibly correct, and shows that Jacob was married twice, first to Agnes Brower and second to Sarah Ellsworth (herself a widow although this is not stated in the collection's record).
  Further proof of the relationships shown here is desired.

• Jan Brouwer is one of three 17th century Brouwer family progenitors found in New Netherland/New York. He emigrated to New Amsterdam in 1657.
