William Justice Brewster b. abt 1844 in Nova Scotia died 6 Oct 1921 at Kent, King Co., WA He was the William J. Brewster who married in 1865 to Alice Ann Huntley b. abt 1847 in Maine. He was also the son of William J. Brewster b. Nova Scotia abt 1808 and his wife Margaret b. abt 1824. In 1880 he is living in Machiasport, ME.

The Washington State Death Record for William Justice Brewster gives his mother as "Margaret McClanaugh" That's not a name I'm familiar with. Any info would be appreciated.

following this to see if you get an answer....as that would make your William Justice Brewster a brother to Asher Brewster, if this is all correct - Asher's parents in one of his marriages are listed as William J and Mary....I have no siblings for Asher....however, I have figured out where William J is buried, Pereaux Cemetary, there is a request for a photo of the grave int he system but I have also asked my aunt to take one, once they dig out from their never ending snowstorm....

Yes, the name is given in the transcribed record as "McClanaugh", but I've done a search for that surname and since it is unique, I figure there is a transcription error. My query was an attempt to discover what the name might be other than "McClanaugh". For example, maybe "McLaughlin" or "McCullough"?
