• Mother*: Magdalena Jacobs Verdon b. c 1627

• Charts: Adam Brouwer: Five Generations Descendant Chart

• Jacob Adamsz Brouwer was born circa 1655 at Gowanus, Long Island, the date being that what is generally accepted, however, he may have been born a bit earlier. As Jacob, he was named for his maternal grandfather, which would traditionally imply that he was second son born to his parents. If this were the case, Jacob may have been born in 1647 or 1648.
• He married Annetje Bogardus, daughter of Willem Bogardus and Wynnetje Sybrants, at Brooklyn, Kings Co., New York, on 29 January 1682 "Jacobus Brouwer, j.m. Van de Gauwanes, en Annetje Bogardus, j.d. Van N. Yorck, beyde woonende aende Gauwanes." The marriage is recorded at both the Flatbush and New York Dutch Churches.^4,5
• Jacob Adamsz Brouwer died before 20 December 1706; when his wife, "Annitie Brower," appears on the Brooklyn town assessment list with 26 acres.⁶
• Named for his maternal grandfather Jacob Verdon, Jacob is said to have been born ca. 1655 at Gowanus (no baptism record has been found), Jacob appears to have lived his entire life at Gowanus and was deceased by Dec. 1706. He married Annetje Bogardus, the granddaughter of Dom. Everardus Bogardus and his wife, the famous Anneke Jans, whose supossed fortune in Manhattan property has led many Brouwer descendants and want-to-be descendants to claim and publish inaccurate and false lines of ancestry.
• Gerrit Kroesen was taxed in Brooklyn in 1675 and 1676 for land between the home lots of Jacob Brouwer and Volkert Hendircksen Bries.⁷
• He appeared on the assessment list of at Breukelen, Long Island, in September 1676 assessed at 18, with 1 poll.⁸
• He appeared on the assessment list of at Brooklyn, Kings Co., New York, on 26 September 1683 as Jacob Brouwer with 2 cows, 1 cow of 2 yrs., and 6 morgens of land and valley. Assessed at £42.10.⁹
• He took the Oath of Allegiance in September 1687 at Brooklyn, Kings Co., New York, as "Jacob brouwer, native."¹⁰
• Jacob is named in his father's will dated 22 Jan 1691/92, for his disobedience he is to receive "not a penny" and his share is devised to his children.¹¹
• Jacob Brouwer's lands at Gowanus are mentioned in a "Division of Common lands & woods into three parts, at a towne meeting held Febr. 25th, 1692/3 att Brooklyn, in manner following, I - All the lands and woods after Bedford & Cripplebush over the hills to the path of New Lotts shall be long to the inhabitants & free holders of Gowanus beginning from Jacob Brower and soe to the uttermost bounds of the limits of New Utrecht."¹²
• He appeared on the census of 1698 at Brooklyn, Kings Co., New York, as Jacob Brouwer, with a family of 1 man, 1 woman, and 6 children. Recorded between Mighiel hanse Bergen and Adam Brouwer.¹³
• On 17 Oct 1704, "William Brower Junr. son of Jacob Brower of Brookland, doth voluntarily and of his own free will and accord by and with the consent of his parents put himself apprentice to Stephen Bedent of Broockland, feltmaker, to serve him from the 17th day of October 1704 till the full term of four years." Jacob Brower, William Brower and Stephen Bedent all sign by their marks.¹⁴
• It is assumed that Jacob was not yet 21 years of age in 1675, as he did not pay a poll tax that year. In Sep 1676 he was living with his father and did pay a poll tax in that year. There is no record of his baptism in either the New York, Brooklyn or Flatbush churchs. On their marriage record it is stated that, Jacob was born in Gowanus, and Annetje was born in New York. He took the oath of allegiance as a native and resident of Breukelen in 1687, and is mentioned again as a resident of Breukelen on the 1698 with a family of 1 male, 1 female, and 6 children, his name being listed just above that of his father Adam Brouwer on the census. By virtue of his marriage, the children of Jacob Brouwer, and therefore their descendants can trace their ancestry to the renowned Anneke Jans, the grandmother of Jacob's wife. According to Hoffman (TAG 24:23), there are many lines of descent from Jacob Brouwer and Annetje Bogardus that do not hold up under close examination. "Teunis Bergen and many others, following his assertions, have ascribed children or descendants to Jacob who are not evident from the authentic records and as a matter of fact can be shown to belong to other branches of the family. Based on family records, three children, whose official records can not be found, have been ascribed to Jacob and his wife, namely: Jonas, born in 1691, Jan, born in 1692, and Adolph, born Oct. 5, 1693 (NYG&BR 1925:232; 1926:82-83; 1928:294-5; April issue; Brouwer notes in the Hill Manuscript at the N.Y. Gen. and Biog. Society). Of Adolph it has now been definetly proven that he was a son of Nicolaes Brouwer (one of Jacob's brothers, see under Nicholaes to follow); of the other two there is no evidence that such sons ever existed. This conclusion would also follow from the fact that in 1698 Jacob was shown to be father of six children then living. This checks with the number of children whose baptisms were recorded previous to that date and who were all alive in that year." As has been demonstrated from the above, historically their has been a great deal of confusion and erroneous claims regarding the descendants of Jacob Brouwer and Annetje Bogardus. An account and explanation of unproven lines of descent from Annetje' grandmother, Anneke Jans, written by William B. Bogardus, can be viewed at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ghosthunter/Anneke/page6.htm.

Not only his sister married there Nicholas Bovy, but Jacob's first son was named Petrus and his second daughter Nelletje, the names of Jacob's father and mother.

• Jacobus Brouwer is named as a brother-in-law in the will of Rachel Smith, dated 17 Sep 1757.²²
• Hoffman (TAG 24:24) sates that some give his birthdate as 3 Oct 1684, but that seems to be a long time between birth date and baptism for this time and community. Jacob became a church member at NYDR on 21 Nov. 1743, on confession of faith. He is recorded, as of Kings County, when enlisted in the militia in 1715. He is mentioned along with Evrard and Sybrandt Brouwer in a deed dated 11 Feb 1717 in Brooklyn. The children of Jacob Brouwer are mentioned in the will of Rachel Smith, who was a sister of Petronella la Montagne, dated 17 Sep 1757. She calls Jacob Brouwer her brother-in-law and names his children Jacob, John, Everhardus, and Abraham. To the later she leaves her sermon book. Bergen, in his "Bergen Genealogy" also names a fifth son Cornelis Brouwer, supposedly b. 9 Nov 1730. This statement has been followed by others and is included in DAR Lineage Book 61:158, which states that he died in 1805, served in Capt. Brouwer's Company, and married Mary Archer (b. 21 Apr, 1733) of the well known Archer family of Westchester County, New York. Hoffman disputes those claims, stating that he has found no evidence or records to show that Cornelis is a son of this Jacob, and although he (in 1947) has not been able to place Cornelis anywhere within this Brouwer ancestry, he definetly does not believe that he belongs in the family of Jacob and Petronella. It is possible that among their children was Catharina Brouwer, who married Jacob Tiederman, as this couple acted as sponsors for the la Montagne family.

• Jacob is covered in "Brouwer Beginnings" (TAG 24:167) by Hoffman who states "according to DAR lineage books he was a private in the N.Y. Militia," Col. James Drake's regiment. This Jacob did not marry Jannetje Vanderbeek, as is given in NYG&BR, vol.64 (Jacob, son of Abraham, Pieter, Adam) married her. Jacob was living first at Tappan where he was a shoemaker. There are seven known children of this couple (Jacob and Elsye Hitchcock) two baptized at Tappan, one at New Hackensack, and three at Fishkill. It is possible that there were more children, since nine years elapsed between their marriage date and the birth of their first child found on record. Among the sponsors at the baptisms of the children are Jan Gesner and his wife, Isaac Brouwer and Jacobmine Kwakkenbos, Cornelis Brouwer and Alida Aersse; and the additional fact that he had a son Adolf proves without a doubt that he belongs here, and provides an additional tie-up between the other children of Adolph.^4,6

• Although it is difficult to ascertain with certainty with pre-1850 census records just exactly who each record pertains to, we can still make educated guesses. It is known that Jacob bought land of his brother Nicholas in Wappinger Falls, New York. The census records of 1800, show a Jacob Brewer living in Fishkill, Dutchess Co., New York (Fishkill being very near to Wappinger Falls) with a family of 1 male under 10, 1 male 10-15, 1 male 26-45, 1 male over 45, 3 females under 10, 1 female 10-15, 2 females 26-45, 1 female over 45. The description of this family could lead one to believe that it may describe an older couple with the family of one of their children living with them. Also recorded in Fishkill in 1800 are Cornelis Brewer (age 26-44), possibly Jacob's son, and William Brewer (26-44), possibly son of Jacob's brother Nicholas, and Nicholas Brewer (age over 45), also possibly the son of brother Nicholas.¹⁰

• Jacob Brouwer married second at Reformed Dutch Church, New York City, on 17 July 1800 Sarah Dobbs, daughter of Martin Dobbs.^5,6,3
• Jacob Brouwer died on 21 May 1818; "age 61 years."^7,8
• He was buried at Dutch Reformed Churchyard, Forsyth, New York.³
• Also known as Jacob Brower.⁷
• 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.
