Jacob is placed in the family of Peter and Hannah (Sanborn) Brewer because of his close proximity to Peter on U.S. census records in Highgate, and because of land transactions recorded in the Highgate Town Records involving Jacob with Peter Brewer, and Jacob with Rensselaer Brewer. The possibility is open however, that Jacob is a son of Peter's brother, Jacob Brewer and his wife, Elizabeth Stickney.
