The first recorded Brewer in America was John Brewer of the Virginia Colony who was a burgess for Warwick County from 1629-1630.
He was also a member of the Governor’s Council 1632-34. His plantation was called “Stanley’s Hundred” or “Brewer’s Burrough” and his land in Warwick was adjacent to that of Colonel Miles Cary and Thomas Reade.
The family spread from Virginia to Clifton County, Tennessee, to North Carolina, Ohio and Nebraska.
Our family line came to St. Joseph County, Constantine, Michigan when Claude Brewer moved to that location.
