• Although believed to be the same person by some, Jacob Brewer, the husband of Jerusha Westover, and Jacob Brewer, husband of Elizabeth Stickney, are two distinct individuals, seperated by about twenty years at birth.

• The parents of Jacob Brewer have not been confirmed by either a birth or death record. If a birth record does exist for Jacob it has not been found, and death records in Floyd Co., Iowa were not kept until the year 1880, while it is probable that Jacob died during the decade of the 1870s. 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.
• A descendant of Jacob Brewer and Jerusha Westover has participated in the Brewer DNA Project, Kit no. 65385. The results are consistant with and confirm a descent from Adam Brouwer (ca.1620-1692).¹⁹
