Charles Vail writes, "My wife's grandfather lived on the west end of Long Island but lost his property and moved to the state of New Jersey but had his mill at Goanses burnt and other property destroyed by the British in the Revolutionary War. And when I knew the old man he lived in Paterson, New Jersey and was a very aged man and that was in 1815. I think his name was Abraham and he had four sons--Jerry, Abraham, Christopher and William. Christopher and William I knew. He also had 3 daughters--Sally, Caty, and Rebecca, the mother of my wife. My wife's mother is dead and so is all her brothers and sisters." Charles Vail also mentions speaking with "Catherin Cannon sister," who lives in Riverhead, whose mother was also a Brower, but from a different family.6

  • Daniel Brower was born say 1792.
  • "The will of George Brower, Daniel's father, written in 1841, states in part, "I give and bequeath unto my son Daniel Brower, whom it hath not pleased God to bless with a sound mind, the full use and benefit of the farm and premises whereon I now live, during his lifetime." George's son Samuel was made executor of George's will and guardian of Daniel. Daniel was not found in the 1850 census for Monmouth county, New Jersey, in the household of Samuel, so it is presumed that he died between 1841, the year the will was written, and 1850, the year of the census."1
