Yes, about 3 pages listed, with only 17 individuals mentioned. the first being a William H. Clements, married in 1853 to Malvina Hagan, the daughter of Electious Hagan,born in Charles County, MD and Susannah Ann Gwynn, daughter of Thomas Gwynn of Prince Georges' County, MD. I don't know if this helps you out but I just thought I would let you know what is published in Timothy J. O'Rourke's book.

Thanks for the info on the Clements Family. For all who need to view this book, it is part of the collection at the Allen County Public Library in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. For anyone living in the midwest, it is well-worth a trip to use their genealogy collection. I spent 3 full days there during my last trip to Indiana and barely covered the tip of the iceberg. You can plan your research by using their card catalog online. I keep a running list of the books I want to use on my next trip.

This book is also available in St. Charles, MO at the Katherine Linemen branch. This branch has the genelogy information.

It also may be available at other city with a genelogy department.

The University of Missouri (at Columbia)has a digitized version of the 2 most respected histories of Missouri. You can search these books over the internet.

Due not forget to check your states archives (on the internet).

I resent my original email. I used a different email address jamesmoore4980@sbcglobal.net


O'Rouke's book concentrates mainingly on the families that stayed in Perry County Missouri. Brewer is a very common name in Perry County. O'Rouke does not mention any Brewer's going to Texas in his one page titled Texas Fever. He does mention that Yoakum straddles the Dewitt and Lavaca county lines.

I found seven William Brewer's. I will need his spouse's maiden name or his father and mother's maiden name with a date of birth or death to verify that one of these Williams are your relative.

One William H. Brewer born in 1891, this is not a match for your William.

No listing for a Henry Porter Brewer.



I have found that searching a state's internet archives is a very helpful. Missouri has the two earliest state history books digitized and are easily searched. Perhaps Texas has a similar resource.

Good luck with your search,
Jim Moore

I saw forum you were a part of on ancestry.com, I am wondering if you are still in possession of this book.

I was wondering if you could tell me if there was a Jean (John) Bives or Beeve in this book. I know he is listed in the 1797 Census of Delauss in New Bourbon MO as an american catholic, from my understanding this would mean he came from KY with Fenwick and was a Maryland Catholic. But if this is the same person in my family tree there is no marriage records and when his children are Baptized in Ste. Gen his name is Jean Baptiste Brewa Beaver…..but his second son goes by Louis Calloit Bives…..

I check St.Marys link and there are many Beavens but no Bives...
