According to the Tree George G. Brewer, Sr.

Had two wives,
one Sarah Brewer (Lanier) (1686-1727)

The other

That date on the second tree, 2011, because it is old now shows you how inaccurate it is. That was much of what I saw on the George Brewer descendants on Geni when I joined in 1/2018. Ambrose has been proven by his ydna to be not so closely related as most of the others are. I doubt there was a Nathan, never hear of him. Then Thomas Nathaniel Brewer was the given name on Geni when I joined and I believed he had a son named Thomas. Then I saw that every genuine source and Brewer tree did not use the Thomas name with Nathaniel. So I deleted Thomas there on Geni leaving it just Nathaniel Brewer. The various Olivers are all mixed up. Erica Howton is curator on the Olivers and has rejected the diversity of ydna one or two possess.

Rejecting the 2011 children group may be caused in my brain by the experience I have had with the Mendenhall family. A William Mendenhall died 1853 compiled and recorded in birth order an enormous genealogy of the entire Mendenhall family both coming to America and his line from Francis Mildenhall which remained in Wiltshire, England. HIs sources were limited, especially going way back to the 1600s. So he had problems figuring out that century of Mildenhall/Mendenhall. Still his book is now accessible on the Internet and copies of his book are all over the world. So I have to tell people who want to use the first (William) Mendenhall book that the ancient history in it is wrong. New research has changed our views on it quite a bit. However, William was using primary sources for the genealogies of the 1700s and 1800s and they could be trusted and used. I hope that puts light on the subject of recent research.

Gary Allen Singleton should there be a Burwell Brewer attached to Alice Brewer ?
