  • Jacob Brouwer was born on 8 May 1772 at Dutchess Co., New York, (he under the age of 21 in Sep 1777, and younger than Jeremiah who is also under age 21).3
  • He married Abigail Manning circa 1790.4
  • Jacob Brouwer is said to have died on 28 December 1816 at Broad Street, New York City, New York.4
  • Surname is also spelled Brower.5
  • Jacob is listed as the fifth son in his father's will dated 17 Sep 1777, to receive a choice of the two hundred acres of land above Schenectady, and eighty pounds New York Curency when he comes to the age of twenty-one.6
  • In 1789 a survey of the "Hayadarosses patent," was taken for Jeremiah Brower, Lot No. 6 of the 13 General Allotment containing 209 1/4 acres. A chart and survey of the Hayadarosses patent and partly divided by Jeremiah, Jacob, william and David Brower, was made by Seth Baldwin, Surveyor. (I have not identified the location of the Hayadarosses patent).7
  • He appeared on the census of 1790 at Clinton, Dutchess Co., New York, with a family of 1 male over 16 and 1 female. Enumerated next to Joshua Manning and Charles Manning, and on the same sheet, Thomas Manning, John Manning, John Manning, Jr., and John Odell.8
  • On 15 April 1793, Joshua Manning, John Manning and Charles Manning, using the inheritance of Helenah (Brower) Manning as security drafted a promissory note bound to Nicholas Brower, Sarah Brower and Henry Bogert (the executors of the will of Nicholas Brouwer). A second draft added Jacob Brower and promised his inheritance as security.9
  • On 2 Apr 1795 "John Manning and Martha his wife of Clinton Precinct in Dutchess County and state of New York, sold to James Vanmatter for £250, land in Clinton Precinct beginning at the north corner of Charles Manning lot" containing 70 acres. The deed was signed in the pressence of Jacob Manning, Jacob Brower, Joshua Manning and John Williams." Recorded 9 Apr 1795.10
  • He is possibly the Jacob Brower who in a deed dated 17 April 1795, bought land of Richard Oliver and Catherine Oliver, his wife. Land in Hurley, Ulster County, New York, "distinguished on a map by William Cockburn, Charles Cantine and James Oliver by lot no. 19 containing 210 1/2 acres." Signed by Richard Oliver in the presence of Col. Elmendorf and Jeremiah Brower, and signed by Catherine Oliver in the presence of Peter Van Gasbeek and Abrm. Bancker.11
  • Joshua Manning granted Power of Attorney to Jacob Brouwer on 6 March 1810 authorizing Jacob to act for him in recovering rights to 4000 acres of the "Palmer Purchase" and 3000 acres lying near the Susquehannah. If recovered Jacob Brower is to execute title back to Joshua Manning, et al. for their proportionate share.12
  • In July 1812 Jacob Brouwer resided at Chenango Point, New York; as per a letter from Nicholas Brower to Capt. Nick Williams in which Nicholas Brower states that Jacob Brower lives near Chenango Point, New York. (He also states that he does not know where Jeremiah Brower is living). Chenango Point, settled in 1802, became the village of Binghamton (Broome Co.) in 1834.13
  • Jacob Brouwer is probably the son of Nicholas Brouwer and his second wife, Sarah Drake. At present the evidence is circumstatial, but birthdates and locations from accounts of descendants match those of documented events. In 1790 a Jacob Brouwer in enumerated on the U.S. census in Clinton, Dutchess Co., New York with a family of 1-1-1, which would describe the family of Jacob Brouwer and Abigail Manning at that time. On the same census sheet are recorded, Jacob Brouwer's (son of Nicholas) step-father, Stephen Callow, as well as Charles Manning, John Manning, John Manning Jr., Thomas Manning, and Joshua Manning, i.e. a group of related Mannings that Abigail Manning may certainly belong to. Additional evidence is needed, but this connection appears to be probable.
  • Much of the information regarding the descendants of Jacob Brouwer and Abigail Manning was supplied by Lilly Martin, a direct descendant of the couple.4

Jacob Brouwer

b. July 1762, d. 1784
  • Jacob Brouwer was possibly born in July 1762 (this date is unconfirmed).1
  • He married Agnes Allen at Reformed Dutch Church, New York City, on 12 March 1782 "Zyn van ons in den Huwelyken Staat bevestigd, Jacob Brouwer en Agness Allen, beide van Nieuwyork."2
  • Jacob Brouwer died in 1784 at possibly New Brunswick, Canada.1
  • Jacob Brouwer is a possible son of Adolf Brouwer. Jacob's widow, Agnes, does appear in New Brunswick after the Revolution, but there is little record of Jacob. It is possible that Jacob may have been named for Jacob Verdon, who would be his paternal grandmother's father. At this time there is not enough evidence to confirm a father - son relationship between these two.

Bogardus Collection, Anneke Jans and Everardus Bogardus Descendants Association, Wilmington, Ohio. Privately printed. 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, so why it was included in the reprint edition defies explanation. The account of Pieter Adamsz Brouwer is also in error, and there may be other errors with the earlier Brouwer generations. Latter generations, however, 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 generations. The work is a valuable accounting of this Brouwer/Brewer family through the 1800's. An addition to the original, by Sharon Brewer Dodge, includes her 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. p.19. Hereinafter cited as Three Hundred Years in America.

Bogardus Collection, Anneke Jans and Everardus Bogardus Descendants Association, Wilmington, Ohio. Privately printed. 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, so why it was included in the reprint edition defies explanation. The account of Pieter Adamsz Brouwer is also in error, and there may be other errors with the earlier Brouwer generations. Latter generations, however, 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 generations. The work is a valuable accounting of this Brouwer/Brewer family through the 1800's. An addition to the original, by Sharon Brewer Dodge, includes her 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. p.19. Hereinafter cited as Three Hundred Years in America.

Jan Brouwer1,2,3,4

b. say 1628, d. after 17 November 1702
  • Jan Brouwer was born say 1628 at Amsterdam, The Netherlands.5
  • He married Jannetje Jans at Europe say 1653.5
  • Jan Brouwer died after 17 November 1702 at probably Flatlands, Kings Co., Long Island, New York; when he confirmed deeds of maintenance with his son Peter written in April 1700.

  • Jan Brouwer is one of three 17th century Brouwer family progenitors found in New Netherland/New York. He emigrated to New Amsterdam in 1657. He was a blacksmith and lived at Flatlands, Long Island, New York. Sons Johannes and Hendrick appeared to have settled at Hempstead in Queens County, while son Pieter remained at Flatlands. Son, Derek, was among the Dutch inhabitants at Flushing, Queens Co., in 1698. Third generation descendants are also found in Monmouth, Somerset and Hunterdon Counties, New Jersey, apparently moving there with the migration of Kings County residents to the Raritan Valley area of New Jersey beginning in the first decade of the 1700's. In the past, the close proximity of Jan's family with that of Adam Brouwer's has caused many to confuse and interconnect the two. DNA testing of descendants conducted through the Brewer DNA Project http://www.familytreedna.com/public/BrewerDNA/ and reported in "DNA: Adam Brouwer Berckhoven, Elias Brouwer, and John Brewer" (NYGBR 138 [Oct.2007]:245-49) has demonstrated that any possible common ancestor between the two would have lived tens of thousands of years ago.

The work is a valuable accounting of this Brouwer/Brewer family through the 1800's. An addition to the original, by Sharon Brewer Dodge, includes her 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. p.20. Hereinafter cited as Three Hundred Years in America.

    Thomas Benjamin Hill married a Jane Brouwer Their family included children:
    Nazareth, Thomas, Eleanor and Ann.
    Nazareth Brouwer Hill, the son of Benjamin (Thomas) Hill was born in New
    York State, Dec 5, 1752. He grew up in New York State and learned a weaver's
    trade. Afterwards he settled on one hundred acres of land in New Haven,
    Connecticut. In 1778 he married, in Trinity Church, New York, Catherine
    Edwards, the daughter of Captain Robert Edwards.
    During the American Revolution Nazareth Hill was a scout for the British
    Army. He returned to New Haven, Conn, after the war, leased his land to his
    brother, and then came to Canada. He is listed with the loyalists at the Bay
    of Quinte (1790) and then settled in Marysburg, Prince Edward Co., Ontario.
    The Hill family like many other families, around 1900, were trying to show
    that they were descended from Jacob Brower and Annetta Bogardus. I have
    omitted information about Jane's ancestry, that is included in the document

    was Jane Brouwer, daughter of Nazareth Brouwer and Ann Rozell, who married
    Thomas Benjamin Hill. Over the past many years I have heard from at lest 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. From the 12 other
    correspondents on the lines of descent from Thomas Benjamin Hill and Jane
    Brower, they had only indicated continuing descendants through their
    children Eleanor and Nazareth.". Hereinafter cited as "Wm. Bogardus e-mail."

An addition to the original, by Sharon Brewer Dodge, includes her 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. p.18. Hereinafter cited as Three Hundred Years in America.
