• Lena Brouwer died between 1847 and 1848.^1,4
• Also known as Helena Brower.
• Also known as Lany Brower.³
• Lena's husband was born about 1769, and her first child was born in 1789. The 1790 census shows the family with only the one child. She is named in her father's will of Sep 1777, as fifth among his daughters which would place her birth at about 1772, and if so, she would have been married by seventeen.⁵
• She was living on 15 April 1797; when she and her husband petitioned the New York Surrogate Court in Albany regarding the estate of her father Nicholas Brower.²
• The 1810 Federal census records a Mrs. Manning in New York Ward 1, New York Co., New York with a family of 5 males under 10, 1 female under 10, 1 female 16-25, 1 female 26-44. She is enumerated between Wm. Vandewater and Peter A. Schenck.⁶
• She was a member of at Reformed Dutch Church, New York City, on 5 June 1817 "Helen Brower, wife of Joshua Manning, by certificate from Reformed Dutch Church at Poughkeepsie."⁷
• On 29 Oct 1831, in Ulster County, Josiah Drake was deposed before Reuben H. Hine, J.P. and Comm. of Deeds for Ulster County. Josiah states that he lives in the town of New Paltz and states that Hellenah Manning is the daughter of Nicholas Brower and Sarah Drake, "all of which the said Josiah Drake knows of his own personal knowledge being personally acquainted with them." Josiah further states that Nicholas Brower is the son of Adolphus Brower and Adolphus was the son of Jacob Brower and Annette Bogardus, the wife of Jacob Brower. Josiah states that one other daughter of Annatie Bogardus and Jacob Brower the said Josiah believes was named Magdalena Brower and the said Magdalena was the grandmother of Josiah Drake and the great grandmother of the above named Hellenah Manning and the above named Sarah Drake is the daughter of William Drake and William Drake was the son of Magdalena Brower who is the daughter of Jacob Brower and Annatie Bogardus.
  (This deposition creates more questions then it answers. Josiah does not state who he believes Magdalena Brower was married to. Early, incorrect accounts of the Brower-Drake families have claimed that Magdalena was the wife of John Drake [whose wife has since been shown to be Martha Oldfield]. Josiah does not state who his parents are, but states that he is a grandson of Magdalena Brower [he cannot be John Drake's son, Joseph, as he died in 1808]. Could Josiah be implying that Magdalena was married to a brother of John Drake?⁸
• Letter from Jeremiah Brouwer to Lena Brouwer: In this letter dated 2 April 1832, Jeremiah writes from Hopewell, New York (Chapinville Post Office) to Helenah Manning, 216 Division Street, City of New York. He signs the letter as, "your brother Jeremiah Brower." The letter concerns mistakes made in a previous letter Jeremiah wrote concerning their pedigree. He asks Helenah whether "Grandfather Adolphus was the oldest son of Great Grandfather Jacob Brower who married Anneke, the daughter of William Bogardus." Jeremiah is of the belief that "Great Grandfather Jacob" had eight children. (The inquiry is being made in an effort to demonstrate a right of nheritence to the "Jans and Bogardus" property).⁹
• Lena Brouwer and Nicholas Birdsall Brower asked the Chancery Court of Dutchess County to take depositions from William Lane and Josiah Drake on April 17, 1833. Their reasons stated were that they expect to be made a party (with other devices and heirs of Annetie Jans widow of Domine Everardus Bogardus, deceased) in a suit in some Court, concerning the title to certain lands in the City of New York.
  The deposition of William Lane was taken at his house in the town of New Paltz, Ulster County on 23 May 1833. In his deposition William Lane states that he is 75 years of age, and that his mother, Elizabeth Drake, was the daughter of William Drake, and that William Drake was the son of Magdalena Brower and John Drake to whom the said Magdalena Brower had been married. The deponent further states that the said Magdalena was the sister of Adolphus Brouwer, and that the said Magdalena and Adolphus were the children of Jacob Brouwer and Annetie his wife, formerly Annetie Bogardus. That the said Magdalena was the mother of Josiah Drake and great-grandmother of Helena Manning, the said Helenor Manning being a daughter of Nicholas Brouwer who was the son of Adolphus who was the son of Jacob Brouwer.
  The deponent then claims that the said Magdalena and her husband lived on a farm in New York called the Domine's Hook containing upwards of 130 acres, and that Magdalena claimed the land as hers. The deponent understood and believes that the house was burnt down during the Revolutionary War while Magdalena lived there. The deponent heard that the Church of England claimed the property and that he understood that there had been lawsuits regarding the property but did not know the particulars.
  (This account of William Lane's, specifically with regard th the claim that Magdalena Brower and John Drake were the parents of William Drake and Josiah Drake, is not consistant with other evidence, particularly with the claim that John Drake was the father of William and Josiah. What is of concern is that William Lane, having been born in 1758, would have had the opportunity to personally know his claimed great-grandfather, John Drake, who was living as late as 1779.).¹⁰

• Magdalena Jacobse Brouwer was baptized on 8 March 1704 at Reformed Dutch Church, New York City; sponsors Dirk Adolf, Arientje Kierstede z.h.v.⁴
• She married Willem van Oort, son of Goosen van Oort and Maria Peeck, before 1720.⁵
• Magdalena Jacobse Brouwer is said to have married Joost Vredenburgh, son of Isaac Vredenburgh and Jannetje Joosten, William J. Hoffman in "Brouwer Beginnings" (TAG 24:28) argues against this claim, stating, "According to some authorities, she (Magdalena Brouwer) married Joost Vredenburg, but the names of their children point to Vredenburg's wife being the daughter of Nicholas Brouwer, and I have shown her as such. Other authorities, among these the Hill Manuscript at the N.Y. Gen. and Biog. Society, show this Magdalena to have married John Drake."³
• Magdalena Jacobse Brouwer is said to have married John Drake, son of Josias Janszen Drats and Aeltje Adamse Brouwer, in 1718 or 4 February 1720 William J. Hoffman covers this claim in "Brouwer Beginnings" (TAG 24:31) under his sketch of John Drake with "Statements about his (John Drake's) marriage or marriages are not established by record proof. In his will (1779) he mentions his wife Martha. Information about him has been published in the Drake Genealogy by Avery and in Chambers' Early Germans of New Jersey in which there are mistakes. He has been given Magdalena Brouwer for a wife, apparently the daughter of that name of Jacob Brouwer and Annatje Bogardus bapt. NYDR Mar. 8, 1704, the only Magdalena who can be considered, since the marriages of contemporaries of that name have been established. The marriage date has variously been given as Feb. 4, 1720 and 1718. In the later year the bride would have been 14 years old. These dates are said to have been taken from Bible records, as also the names and birth dates of their children whose baptismal dates are not found on record. I have no knowledge where these Bible records are at present."⁶
• Magdalena Brouwer and William Van Note possibly had ten other children.⁵
• Magdalena Jacobse Brouwer was living on 30 March 1772 at Shrewsbury, Monmouth Co., New Jersey.⁷
• She was granted administration of the estate of Willem van Oort on 30 March 1772; to Magdalen Vannorte, widow, and Jacob Vannorte, son of said William, both of Shrewsbury. Fellowbondsman, Jacob Brewer of Shrewsbury, and John Van Clefe of Freehold. (Lib. K, page 413).⁷
• Lena Brouwer and Nicholas Birdsall Brower asked the Chancery Court of Dutchess County to take depositions from William Lane and Josiah Drake on April 17, 1833. Their reasons stated were that they expect to be made a party (with other devices and heirs of Annetie Jans widow of Domine Everardus Bogardus, deceased) in a suit in some Court, concerning the title to certain lands in the City of New York.
  The deposition of William Lane was taken at his house in the town of New Paltz, Ulster County on 23 May 1833. In his deposition William Lane states that he is 75 years of age, and that his mother, Elizabeth Drake, was the daughter of William Drake, and that William Drake was the son of Magdalena Brower and John Drake to whom the said Magdalena Brower had been married. The deponent further states that the said Magdalena was the sister of Adolphus Brouwer, and that the said Magdalena and Adolphus were the children of Jacob Brouwer and Annetie his wife, formerly Annetie Bogardus. That the said Magdalena was the mother of Josiah Drake and great-grandmother of Helena Manning, the said Helenor Manning being a daughter of Nicholas Brouwer who was the son of Adolphus who was the son of Jacob Brouwer.
  The deponent then claims that the said Magdalena and her husband lived on a farm in New York called the Domine's Hook containing upwards of 130 acres, and that Magdalena claimed the land as hers. The deponent understood and believes that the house was burnt down during the Revolutionary War while Magdalena lived there. The deponent heard that the Church of England claimed the property and that he understood that there had been lawsuits regarding the property but did not know the particulars.
  (This account of William Lane's, specifically with regard th the claim that Magdalena Brower and John Drake were the parents of William Drake and Josiah Drake, is not consistant with other evidence, particularly with the claim that John Drake was the father of William and Josiah. What is of concern is that William Lane, having been born in 1758, would have had the opportunity to personally know his claimed great-grandfather, John Drake, who was living as late as 1779.).⁸
• Lillian Avery Drake published Drake Genealogy in the Line of Samuel Drake in 1926. On page 9 she states that Jan or John Drake, bapt. in Brooklyn, N.Y., 12:11:1687; married Feb. 24, 1720, Madelina Brower, b. 1704 (bapt. March 8); dau. of Jacobus and Annette (Bogardus) Brower of Gowanus, L.I." The author does not include a source for the marriage date of John Drake and Madelina Brower.⁹
• Imogene H. Lane, in her unpublished manuscript titled, "Drakes of Orange Co., New York, and Related Familes" (1971) makes the statement that "Records indicate that John Drake married Magdalena Brouwer (his cousin). The date given by the Nova Caesarea Chapter, however, is 1718, and lists their children as follows..." (she then lists nine children: Benjamin, Josiah, John who m. Christina Kremer, Samuel m. Sarah Handy, William, Zephaniah, Martha m. Jackson, Mary m. Holly, Ester m. Krap.).
  The author then states that "John Drake appears to be the same who married Martha Oldfield before 1741. It was at this time that Martha's father, Joseph Oldfield, died and Martha Drake was heir to his estate."
  Imogene Lane concludes, "Although the date of death of Magdalena Drake has not been ascertained, it would appear that she may have died and John Drake married Martha Oldfield before his daughter Martha was born in 1723."
  (If the assumption that Magdalena Brouwer was married to William Van Note, then the opinion that John Drake was married to both Magdalena Brouwer and then Martha Oldfield, cannot be valid as William Vannote's widow, Magdalen, was granted administration on his estate on 30 March 1772).¹⁰
• William B. Bogardus further explains the incorrect identification of Magdalena as a wife of John Drake in Dear Cousin: A Charted Genealogy of the Descendants of Anneke Jans Bogardus, see "Most Frequent Errors and Incorrect or Unproven Lines of Descent from Anneke Jans," (online at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ghosthunter/Anneke/page6.htm).¹¹

She acted as sponsor as "Helena Brouwer, widow of John Tournor in 1749 for the baptism of her grandson Jan Ryn Dirkson (son of Helena Reyn and David Dirkson).¹
