  • Notes 
    • The Brewsters are of English extraction and are *probably* descendants of Elder Brewster who came over in the Mayflower. James Brewster, the grandfather of our subject, was a native of Long Island, N. Y., where. he resided until 1800, when he and his family, which consisted of a wife, two sons and a daughter, moved to Susquehanna County, where he spent the remainder of his days. His occupation was that of a shoemaker, which he followed with success. He was the progenitor of a family of three children, namely: Daniel, the father of our subject; Eldad, who was a weaver in Susquehanna County and died at a comparatively young age; and Abigail, who married David Vergason of Bradford County, Pa.
