I have been researching this line for 6 years now and still continue to hit this brick
wall. Any information on Jeremiah John BROWER would be grealty appreciated!
Jeremiah John BROWER, born August 27, 1815 in NY. The birth date of Jeremiah was given to
me by a family member who has this recorded, but had the year wrong. Based on his
tombstone, which I do have a picture of, the year would either be 1815 or 1816. Genealogy
calendars say 1815.
He married Sarah Jane Woods in Cass County, Indiana on February 04, 1849. I have plenty
on Sarah Woods line.
Jeremiah was much older then Sarah, maybe he was married once before?
I have a picture of them on my webpage at
http://home.attbi.com/~browerfamily/
* I still need to update the birth date of Jeremiah on my webpage though :o)
I have a record of their marriage, but the signature of Jeremiah John BROWER's name
looked like BROWEY and therefore that is how Indiana has him listed. His tombstone says
BROWER.
Jeremiah John BROWER is buried in Goshen Cemetery, Lucas County Iowa. He died on April 02,
1887.
I show him listed in several different census records of Lucas County, Iowa but nothing
for Indiana. Would be interested to find someone that had the census records for the Cass
County, Indiana region before or around 1829.
Iowa census records show his father as being born in NY and mother being born in MASS.
Children of Jeremiah John BROWER and Sarah Jane Woods:
John Wesley Brower, born Bet. May 19, 1849 - 1850, married Malissa Wheeldon.
Susan Brower, born April 07, 1855, married Unknown Coleman.
Albert W. Brower, born July 20, 1857, married Lydia Ann Mills.
Eliza J. Brower, born March 12, 1860
James Allen Brower, born January 20, 1862, married Sarah Elizabeth Mills (no relation to
Lydia Ann Mills that I can find and I have a huge list of Mills family.)
Martha C. Brower, born August 03, 1866.
John Wesley BROWER is the only child born in Indiana, all other children were born in
Iowa.
