  • Notes 
    •        In the Warren H. Brewer book, History of Brewer Family of North Carolina, etc., there is a paragraph on Bryant or Briant Brewer, Sr. [BB 01]:
             "Briant (or Briant) Brewer, Sr. appears in the 1830 census of Fountain County, Indiana, age 30 to 40, that is, he was born 1790-1800. He married Eliza Briggs, who was born 1799 in S. Carolina, for which marriage license was issued in Wayne Co. but no return was made of marriage for County record. On Oct. 20, 1826 he entered the W1/2Ne1/4 Sec. 21, T19NR8W in Fountain co., Ind. the fact that John Brewer moved to Fountain Co. where his second child was born, led me to the conclusion that relatives of John must have been living there and search disclosed record of Bryant as well as of Robert. Bryant, Sr. may be the person for whom Stephen names his eldest son Bryant. We feel certain that Bryant, Sr. was the son of Thomas and brother of William. His family appears in 1850 census so he must have died prior. The children of Bryant, Sr. and Eliza are: (a) Bryant, Jr., born 1831, Married Jane Hibbs, Oct. 13, 1850 and moved to Kansas and had William, Sanford, Homer, and Willard; (b) Caroline, married John Bodine and lived in Fountain County; (c) Eria (Linsey); (d) Ellen Garrison); and (e) Lorenzo Lowell, married Mary Bonebrake, March 27, 1845."
