Looking at older messages and found yours. Garland Gwin was my fathers older brother, and Joe Brewer my fathers uncle. Any information you have on this Brewer family will be most appreciated. My Dad said when ever he asked his mother, Nora Brewer Gwin, how long they had been in this country she always said forever. Of course we know that can't be so, however my hope is top find out just where the families related to this Brewer line did come from. Dad was told some were in Holland before sailing for America.

Well I haven't been over the seas with the Gwin's or Brewers. However, the Gwin's were in South Carolina as early as 1808. If I have this correct, Garland Gwinn married Wilma Emaline Camp. Garland's parents are Frank Gwinn and Martha Lenora Brewer. Martha Brewer's parents are John Brewer and Martha J. (last name unknown). Frank Gwin's parents are L. H. Gwinn and Sarah M. (last name unknown). Both L. H. and Sarah are buried in New Hope Cemetery, Grant Co., AR.
L. H. Gwin may be the son of Jeptha and Susan Gwin. Jeptha is listed in the 1850 Census, York Co.,SC: Jeptha 40, Susan 30, Judson O. 10, Littleton H. 8, Thomas 6, Mary 4, Susan 2.
1860 Census, York Co., SC is: Jeptha 52, Susan, 36, O. Judson 19, L. H. 17, T. A. (Thomas) 15, Mary 13, L. S. (Susan) 12, J. D. 8, and M. A. 4
1870 Census: There is a Hartwell Gwin 27 in Drew Co., Arkansas, with wife Sarah 24 and son Robert 1, all born in South Carolina.
1880 Census: L. H. is in Dallas Co., Arkansas with wife Susan, sons, Robert, Ross, Frank, Jeptha, and daugher Eveline.
L. H. (name may be Littleton Hartwell Gwin) died 19 October 1894 according to his headstone. I am a little confused though, Sarah is listed in the 1900 Grant Co. Census as being the mother of 4 children with 4 living. According to my research she is the mother of nine children.
The oldest Brewer I have is: Harvey (1822-1898) born in Alabama and married Lucy Paralee Edmondson.

Frank Gwin and Martha Lenora Brewer are my grandparents. Their son William Wall Gwin being my father. Frank Gwin is the son of Littleton Hartwell Gwin and Sarah Melinda ROSS Gwin. They moved from SC to AR about 1868 with other Ross family members. L H {Hart}Gwin was the son of Jeptha Gwin and his first wife Sarah Isabella Fort. She died leaving 2 young sons, Orlando and L H. Jeptha later married Susan Abell. Sarah Isabella is buried in the Gwin McKnight Cemetery in York Co.,SC located on the old Gwin estate site and not maintained I understand. The first Gwinn/Guinn of this line was in SC for the 1799 census. Thomas Guinn came from VA to SC as a young boy and was in Fairfield Co and a land owner in 1799 and moved to York Co. in 1830's. His will is made in York Co. and names all of his children. Thank you for sending the Brewer information. It is all so very helpful.
