The families outlined in the charts BR-2 thru BR8 need further verification. CHART BR-1 IS INCORRECT. Herbert E. Murray is a descendant of Jan Brower and Hannah Adams.

This work contains errors, among them the false account of Anneke Jans descent from William of Orange. This account had been proved a fantasy long before 1988, and its inclusion in the reprint edition is unfortunate. The account of Pieter Adamsz Brouwer is also in error, and there may be other errors with the earlier Brouwer generations. Latter generations are recounted by descendants who lived in the latter part of the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries, and the ancestors who they describe were their parents and grandparents. In addition to the original work of Bertha C. Spencer, the "re-publisher" Sharon Brewer Dodge, includes her own Brewer lineage with the incorrect claim that her ancestor, Willis Brewer of North Carolina, was a son of Jacob Brouwer (b.1709) and a grandson of Sijbrandt Brouwer & Sarah Webber of New York City (this claim has no basis in fact). There is also a short note from William B. Bogardus who questions this connection. There is no factual evidence that would tie Willis Brewer of North Carolina (late 1700s) to any of the Brouwer families of New Netherland. p.17. Hereinafter cited as Three Hundred Years in America.

Over the past many years I have heard from at least 12 others who have claimed that this Jane Brouwer was the daughter of Sybrant
    Brouwer and his wife Sara Webber- - Sybrant being the son of Jacobus Brouwer and Anna Bogardus. I had never confirmed this connection, of course, and had advised each one that this Jane was more likely in the line of descent from one of the other brothers of Jacobus - - probably Nicholas. When I received the abstracted data from the Supreme Court case I referred to in my e-mail of Feb. 25, 2007, Subj: "Family of Nicholas BROWER".. that was when I first learned that Nicholas and Jannetje Colyer had a son Nazareth - - and thus also the more complete family of Nicholas and Jannetje
    as I had outlined. I do not know the dates of birth or baptism of the children of Nazareth Brouwer and Ann Rozell, except that of Cornelius who was born 9 Nov 1730, who married Mary Archer.
    I can also advise that there is an excellent lineage from Nazareth Brower Hill and Catherine Edwards in Volume II - Part I, of "Loyalist Lineages of Canada", published by the Toronto Branch of The United Empire Loyalists' Association of Canada, 1991, pp. 513-515.

  • Nicholaes Brouwer was born say 1730.
  • He married Maria Boom, daughter of Johannes Boom and Anna Burger, at Reformed Dutch Church, Albany, New York, on 31 July 1757 "after 3 Banns Nicolaes Brouwer and Maria Boom, both of Albany County."2,3
  • Nicholas is possibly a son of Cornelis Brouwer and Hannah Hilton.
  • Nicholas Brower appears on the tax list of Albany City in 1767.4
  • Nicholaes Brouwer witnessed the baptism of Johannes Boom , son of Abraham Boom and Dorothea Cunningham, on 18 January 1767 at Reformed Dutch Church, Albany, New York, (sponsors Nicolaas Brouny, Marytje Boom).5
  • Nicholas Brower appears on the muster roll of Capt. Bernardus Bratt's Co., 1st Ward, City of Albany, on 20 Aug (presumably 1767).6
  • Although no birth or baptism record for Nicholas has been found, Hoffman in "Brouwer Beginnings" has placed Nicholas in the family of Jacob Brouwer and Maria Bovy, apparently based on his belief that he was named for Nicholas Bovy whom Hoffman supposed was Maria Bovy's father. Maria, however, is actually the daughter of Matthew Bovy and Catherina Barrois. Nicholas Brouwer was a contemporary in the Albany area with the families of the children of Jacob Brouwer and Maria Bovy, yet he does not appear as sponsor in any of that extended family's baptisms, nor do any of Jacob and Maria's children appear as sponsor for Nicholas's children. It is more probable that Nicholas is not a child of Jacob Brouwer and Maria Bovy. Of Nicholas's six known children, none have Brouwer family sponsors, an indication that either Nicholas, in the Albany area, was either far removed from his siblings, or more likely, that he was an only child or at least an only child who survived to adulthood. Of his first two sons and first two daughters, one of each is named for Nicholas' wife Maria Boom's parents (Johannes and Annatje or Anna). It then follows that the other two are likely named for Nicholas's parents. The first son (b.1757) is named Cornelis, indicating that Nicholas' father was Cornelis. However, Cornelis is not sponsored by his namesake. So perhaps Nicholas's father was deceased by 1757. The second daughter is actually named Maria (probably for her mother, Maria Boom), indicating that Annatje or Anna (the name of Nicholas' first daughter), was probably the name of not only Maria Boom's mother (as it is) but also of Nicholas' mother. Therefore we need to find a couple named Cornelis and Annatje (Anna or Hannah) both likely deceased by 1757, to fill the role of Nicholas's parents. Cornelis Brouwer and his wife Hannah (Anna) Hilton are the one couple who best fit the above facts. Having Hannah Hilton as a mother would also explain Nicholas' pressence in the Albany area as an adult. Hannah died at a young age, and Nicholas was most likely her only child. At the time they were living, young children who lost their mother generally did not remain with the newly widowed father. Instead they were taken in by members of the deceased mother's family. Nicholas was most likely taken in by either Hannah's parents or by one of her older siblings, perhaps her brother Pieter Hilton, who appears as a sponsor for two of Nicholas and Maria (Boom) Brouwer's children. All of these families remained in the Albany area and Nicholas is found living in close proximity to them as an adult. Sponsors for the baptisms of his children all come from either the Boom family, or from the Hilton family and their related families. It is probable that Nicholas, previously unconvincingly placed in the Brouwer family, was a son of Cornelis Brouwer and Hannah Hilton.7

  7. [S1445] William Bogardus, "Re: Nicholas Brower Info," e-mail message from Bogardus, William (unknown address) to Chris Chester, Paul Brewer, Perry Brewer and et al, 9 Jan 2007, "In the manuscript notes of "Brouwer Beginnings" by William J. Hoffman that I referred to earlier as being at the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, he placed Nicholas Brouwer who married Maria Boom as a son of Jacob Brouwer and Maria Bovy primarily based on two factors: although there was no record of a baptism, he indicated that Nicholas was named for his Uncle Nicholas Bovy; and he and members of his family are buried in the same plot in the Albany Dutch Reformed Church Burying Ground
    as that of Hessel Brouwer and his wife Lena Wessels and their family - - Hessel being a son Jacob's older brother Uldrick Brouwer and probably his second wife, Adriaentje Pieters. Truthfully, I too feel a little uncomfortable about this but Hoffman was very meticulous in his work and I have rarely, if ever, found much of his work to be in error - - although some families not as complete as I have been able to identify. I'm sure he did not have all the sources as readily available to him then as we do today, however."
    I would add that in his manuscript notes, Hoffman writes, that Gerrit Brouwer is "bur. Albany Dutch Ref.

  • Nicholaes Brouwer, his family and some of his descendants are covered by Hoffman in "Brouwer Beginnings," TAG 24:161-169. He and his wife last appear in any record on a deed dated 1 April 1726. No death or burial record, nor a will, has been discovered for either of them. In 1691 Nicholas Brouwer, from Kings County, was among the fusiliers raised for the defense of Albany. He served in Capt. Bradshaw's Company. April 1, 1726, Mary Sinclair bought from Nicholas Brouwer and Jannetje his wife, a lot in the East Ward of the City of New York (NYG&BR 10:176; NYHS, Wills 3:218). Hoffman is clear in making mention that the accounts of the children of Nicholas Brouwer and Jannetje Caljer, in published accounts and manuscripts prior to his "Brouwer Beginnings" articles, is "full of errors...mainly because of the desire to make their descendants eligible to claim the renowned Anneke Jans as an ancestress." (See under Nicholas's son Adolphus).39
  • A manuscript of family genealogies in the Collection of Helen Wilkinson Reynolds mentions that Nicholas Brouwer had six daughters, "one by the name of Jain - she married a RYER and another Caty - she married HUF. Lany married FRADENBOAG (that would be Magdalena who married Joost Vredenburgh) - Elizabeth married Parrsels (Lysbet married John Parsell) - Hana mared Dan ___." The manuscript further states that Jain (Jane) and her husband RYER were the parents of Jane RYER (Ryder) who then married Charles Brower. In light of this, there may be an additional three daughters, Jane, Caty, and Hannah, of Nicholas and Jannetje (Caljer) Brouwer who have yet been accounted for. More evidence of their existance is sought.40

The mill pond was formed by damming off a branch of the Gowanus Kill, the privilege for which Nicholas had asked in a petition dated 28 May 1709. According to Hoffman, the mill was located on the north-east side of "the present First Street, about midway between Second and Third Avenues," and that it later became known as Denton's Mill. On 28 March 1704, a new highway to Gowanus Kill was laid out, to start at "Lefferts Petersens ffence along the lands of Abraham Brower and Nicholas Brower to Jurian Collier to the new mill of Nicholas Brouwer, sett upon Gowanus neck." In several deeds Nicholas is called, "of Gowanus," but on the 1698 census of Kings County he is recorded in Boswyk (Bushwick) with a family of 1 male, 1 female and 3 children (the children would be Nazareth, Adolphus and Magdalena). In 1719 he is "of Fordham Manor." Hoffman briefly lists the following deeds: Oct. 10, 1700, between Pieter Brouwer of East New Jersey and Abraham and Nicholas Brouwer of Brookland, Gowanus, property formerly owned by Adam Brouwer, deceased. Pieter is called the oldest son of Adam. Oct. 30, 1701, between G. Beekman of Flatbush and Abraham and Nicholas Brouwer of Gowanus. Dec. 20, 1705 between John Bennen of Flatbush and Nicholas Brouwer of Brookland. Aug. 10, 1706 between Abraham Brouwer of Gowanus and Nicholas Brouwer his brother and partner. Peter Brouwer, eldest son of Adam, is mentioned. April 30, 1707 between Sybrandt Brouwer of Brookland eldest son of Jacob deceased and Abraham and Nicholas Brouwer, involving property formerly belonging to Adam Brouwer. Oct. 12, 1712 (NY Cal. of Land Papers, vol.5, also May 1), petition of Sebringh (Sybrandt) Brewer "owner of half a hook of land lying at a place called Gowanus, in ye township of Brookland in Kings County for a warretn, to survey and lay out ye limits of said land, according to his antient patent and conveyances thereof; as likewise the land of Nicholas Brewer adjoining thereto and such other of the adjacent patents as may be necessary to demonstrate the petitioner's claim mabe thereon.".

  • Nicholas Brouwer was born on 11 June 1714 according to a family record which adds, "op Sondaghs Morgen 3 Ure" - at three o'clock in the morning.3
  • He married first at Dutch Reformed Church, Fishkill, Dutchess Co., New York, on 18 June 1743 Mary Dutcher, daughter of David de Duyster and Elizabeth Davenport.4
  • Nicholas Brouwer married second at First Reformed Dutch Church, Poughkeepsie, Dutchess Co., New York, on 31 March 1765 Sarah Drake, daughter of William Drake and Elizabeth Taylor, (banns dated 18 Mar 1765).5,6,7
  • Nicholas Brouwer died on 17 October 1777 at Albany, Albany Co., New York.8
  • His estate was probated on 10 June 1778 at Albany, Albany Co., New York; Inventory of the estate was taken on two dates, 2 Jul and 3 Jul 1778, both times by John van Sicklen and Benjamin Bloom. Included in the inventory was 1 "Duch Bible," 1 "Duch Question Book," 1 "Duch Lairment Book," 2 "Duch" Books, 1 English Book, many tools and other household effects. There was also 1 Negro woman, and 1 Negro man named Johanes. There were bonds of W. Conklin, Elisha Covort, and Jacob Stag. Apparently an account of the inventory was reopened in 1797. On 15 Apr 1797, "Joshua Manning and Lena his wife which said Lena is a daughter and legatee of Nicholas Brower late of the city of Albany, yeoman, deceased," petitioned the Court in Albany claiming that, "Sarah Brower, Nicholas Brower, and Henry Bogart executors of the last will and testament of the said Nicholas Brower, have hitherto neglected to render an inventory and account of the estate of the said Nicholas Brower." In response the inventory and account was filed on 10 Aug 1797 by Nicholas Brower, and included payments to Cornelius Brower, legacy; Jane Conklin, legacy; mother for family support. Debts were paid in Feb 1782 to Cornelius Brower and to Everardus Brower. A bond, by will went to Nicholas Brower; the Negro John, by will went to David Brower; the Negro "wench" Hannah, to the widow; the Negro Peter "ran away with the British." (NY Wills B:120).9,10,11
  • Also known as Nicholas Brewer.12
  • Surname is also spelled Brower.
  • In his published treatment of Adolphus Brouwer, William J. Hoffman came to the conclusion that Adolphus had been married twice, that Jannetje Verdon was his second wife and mother of all of Adolphus' children with the exception of the eldest son, Nicholas. Hoffman was of the opinion that Nicholas' mother was a first wife whose identity has not been discovered. He notes the five year gap between Adolphus' oldest two children and cites the "Hill Manuscript" (an otherwise very much flawed document) as reasons for his opinion. I have found no evidence or reason to suspect that Nicholas' mother was anyone other than Jannetje Verdon. Other then the five year gap between Nicholas and his next oldest sibling (Jannetje b. 1719) there is no clear reason to suspect that Nicholas was born of a mother other than Jannetje Verdon.
  • He witnessed the baptism of Lena Brouwer , daughter of Adolphus Nicholasz Brouwer and Jannetje Jacobse Verdon, on 11 February 1739 at Dutch Reformed Church, Schraalenburgh, Bergen Co., New Jersey, (sponsors Niclaes Brouwer and Jannetje Furman (read Truman), sister).13
  • From a private collection of Brower family documents: "Pattant grant under James the 2nd in the year 1685 by Thomas Dongan, Governor of the Colony of New York, for 16 miles square, beginning at the foot of the highlands, running North along the Hudson River, the east side, to Francis Rumbout, Jacobus Kipp and Stephanus Van Courtlandt (S. Van Courtlandt was the father of Elizabeth Skinner). There was a division and a partition with the children and grandchildren Novemver 1, 1733."
    "William Skinner and Elizabeth his wife deeded to Adolphus Brower October 9th, 1741, Lot No. 4, containing 755 acres of land on the south side of the great Wappingers--- or River and every part thereof and the ground and soil under the same, including the little falls north of this lot as well as the great falls, with all the creeks, meadows, watercourses, marshed, etc. etc. Nicholas Brower, eldest sonof Adolphus, possessed this lot of land, whether by heirship or otherwise not ascertained."14
  • Nicholas is treated in "Brouwer Beginnings" (TAG 24:166-7) by Hoffman, who states that Nicholas settled at Wappinger Falls in Dutchess Co., New York, where his father had bought in 1741, 755 acres on the south side of Wappingers Creek. It was a part of the Rombout Patent. He soon after built a small house, later enlarged by attaching to it a much larger dwelling. It was sold on 1 May 1777 to Peter Mesier. The house, which is still standing in Mesier Park, now belongs to the village. During his lifetime, Nicholas acquired a large acerage of farm land with a mile frontage on the river. In addition to the old homestead he built the Old Library Building, the Red Mill, and a dock at the head of tide water. Vessels drawing six feet of water could come to this dock. During the Revolutionary War, the estate at Fishkill was the camping ground for the families taking refuge from the British when they were advancing up the Hudson. Nicholas Brouwer and his wife gave them a home and provided them with ways and means to continue their journey. According to records in the Collection of the Dutchess Co. Historical Society, he mortgaged his holdings of 755 acres on two occasions. He also sold small parcels of it to Isaac and Jacob Brouwer, his brothers. He is variously indicated as a miller and a carpenter. Towards the end of his life he moved to Albany.15
  • Nicholas Brouwer was granted administration of the estate of Adolphus Nicholasz Brouwer on 25 August 1742 at New York Co., New York; to his eldest son Nicholas Brouwer. "Adolph Brower late of Bergen County, deceased, where as the said Adolph Brower lately died intestate..."16,17

  • In 1750, Nicholas Brower brought a suit of ejectment against the Trinity Church corporation. He was nonsuited by default. In 1760 he renewed the suit, "but was again beaten." (This suit would have been an attempt to recover the properties once owned by Anneke Jans).20
  • Nicholas Brouwer witnessed the baptism of Annatje Steenbergen , daughter of Jacobus Steenbergen and Mally Schouten, on 16 April 1758 at Reformed Dutch Church, New Hackensack, Dutchess Co., New York, (sponsors Nicolaas Brouwer and his wife.).21

  • Nicholas Brouwer was subscribed to a membership in the at Reformed Dutch Church, New Hackensack, Dutchess Co., New York, on 31 October 1765 at 8-0-0.24
  • On 7 Nov 1766, Nicholas again mortgaged the 775 acres which "had been purchased by Adolph Brouwer the father of Nicholas Brouwer, his eldest son and heir," added to this land which Nicholas had purchased 16 Nov 1761. Reserved from the mortgage were parcels that had been sold from the 755 acres to various individuals viz: John Burnes (afterwards in possession of Thomas van Breemer), Peter Kenney, William Hitchcock, Isaac Brouwer, Jacob Brouwer, Bernardus Swarthout and Samuel Quackingbush.22
  • "March 2, 1770, John Drake, eldest son and heir at law of William Drake, deeded for the sum of 100 pounds to Nicholas Brower of Rumbout in the County of Dutchess, all my right title and interest in a certain lot of land lying in Flushing, Long Island."25

  • The land mentioned by Nicholas Brower in his will, as being north of the Mohawk, and distributed in 200 acre parcels to some of his children, was later referred to by descendants as the "land at Galway."32
  • In the early to mid 1800s a chronology of property originally belonging to Adolphus Brower was written down. The notes survive today and a brief outline follows:
    In 1741, Adolphus Brower, father of Nicholas, purchased of William Skinner, one of the heirs by marriage of Stephen Van Courtland, 750 acres of land lying on the south side of Wappingers Creek, on which Nicholas went to reside. Adolphus paid £100 on purchase and Nicholas paid the remaining £500 as recorded in Dutchess county.
    In 1742 or 1743 Adolphus died and Nicholas being the eldest son and heir-in-law came into possession of the property. This is confirmed by "Judge Hearing of New Jersey, and John Verdon and Henry Ludlow present, the 6th day of Sept., in the County of Orange, of the province of New York, as memorandum showeth." (A year was not given in the notes).
    In 1750, Nicholas Brower purchased from all of his brothers and sisters, their rights in the estate as well as his mother's dower of the same, paid them for the same and settled the whole estate in the "presence of Joseph Thirston and Johannes Verdon."
    In 1761, Nicholas Brower purchased of Antony Yelverton and Rolif Ostrum, 243 acres of land in the Lansing Patent (their wives being descendants from the Lansing family). He also purchased as the same piece or parcel of land of the Van Cortland heirs, the Van Cortland heirs claiming water priviledge as per their patentee deed. The rest of the Lansings, except one, sold to Nicholas Brower, "making the whole of that patent something in the neighborhood of 1200 acres conveyed to Nicholas Brower."33

    These entries would have been written by this Nicholas Brouwer. His son, Nicholas (b.1747) in turn gave the book to his own son Nicholas in 1817. Benjamin Brower, a brother of this last Nicholas, apparently came in possession of the book next, and made the entries regarding his family.34
