From http://mjgen.com/brewer/brewer.html

John Brewer, of London & Virginia made his will Sept. 4th 1631 as a 'citizen and grocer of London' which was filed in London 06 May 1635. for there was no recognized probate court in Virginia.  It was probated 13th May 1636 as follows:

I appoint my wife Mary and my loving uncle Roger Drake, citizen and clothmaker of London, to be overseers and guardians of my children; to each of them 40 sh to buy them a ring. [Testator died in Virginia]"

comments

Thomas Brewer was born about 1540, presumably his wife was similar age. She cannot then have been a daughter of Richard Drake, of Bread Street (in London) and Cheddon Fitzpaine & Christian Drake - they were "also" born about 1540. Disconnected from parents June 2017.

However, John Drake of London had a sister ANNE. She could be the one who married Thomas Brewer; however there is no baptism record or will evidence to support this as of July 2017.

The Mary Drake / Brewer marriage is of a different generation (see "notes".)

notes

From http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/BREWER/2003-01/104328...

Thomas' son John Brewer, of London & Virginia was the Brewer who came to Colonial Va. in the mid 1620's. Earlier Brewer biographies have stated that he came with his father a decade earlier, but the name Thomas Brewer does not appear in any Va. records until the late 1640's and then in connection with another family.
Little is known of his early life, but his later accomplishments suggest he was reasonable well educated. Va. land patents and his will simply identify his wife as "Mary" or "Marie" providing no hint as to her maiden name. Prof. Boyd's Marriage Register of England cites the marriage of John Brewer to Mary Drake in 1615, St. Vedast, London. Earlier biographies of John have confused his marriage with that of his Uncle, John Brewer, who married Mary Grove.. They were married in 1596, the approximate year of the younger John's birth.
John Boodie in his 17th Century Isle of Wight Co, Va. supplies an abstract of John Drake's 1623 London will, in which he makes bequeaths to Margaret Drake, wife of his brother Roger, and to John (John II)and Margaret, the children of john Brewer, grocer of London, and his wife Mary. John Drake was the brother of the Anne Drake who married Thomas Brewer, son of William Brewer the physician. His brother Roger Drake is the same "Uncle Roger Drake" that John Brewer named as guardian to his children in his 1635 will. In all probability, Mary Drake, Brewer was his daughter.
