John Brower 1726-1796 and his brother, Derick(Dirk or Dirck) 1730 settled in what was Queens Co, NY- now Nassau Co in the Rockaways. Most of the families stayed in the area spreading into Christian Hook which is now the town of Oceanside. If you are a part of any of these Browers , get in touch with me and I will give you a few hundred or more Browers.

Peggee,
By any chance do you have a record of Mary Elizabeth Brower who around the middle of the 1800s married George Colville Smith? She appears to have come from the south-eastern part of New York although possibly it was north-eastern New Jersey. I am looking for her family as well as the identity of her husband.. Thanks. My address is (edalnutt@earthlink.net)

Hi Peggee, I come from the Adam Brower line with the mill in Gowanus,NY. My Gr, Gr, Grandfather was John Brower who lived in Ontario. Do you have any of that information?

Would you happen to have an Alan Brower or Leonard Brower in your tree?

Most of my Browers are from the 5 towns - Woodmere Hewlett Cedarhurst Lawrence Inwood area in Nassau County

Hi Peggee,
I'm looking for an Adriana or Addie Brower/Breuer. She was born 1861, the daughter of a Richard and Phebe. Would you happen to have anything on her? She went on to marry an Orville Watkins c1881.
Thanks,
Mike
