THE REGULATORS AND THE BATTLE OF ALAMANCE (NORTH CAROLINA) -

Nicholas signed the Regulators' Advertisement No. 9 ➚ while living in Orange County, North Carolina in 1768. This was a petition compiled to protest the excessively high recording fees for marriage and land deeds.  Also on the petition was his brother, Howell Brewer Sr. Nicholas' name was spelled "Nickless" in this instance. I don't know if he was a part of the Hillsborough riot, but he was in the Battle of Alamance ➚ 17 May 1771.

This Nicholas Brewer Sr., was the grandfather of Mark Brewer who had son Wilson Brewer and Wilson is found in the Brewer FT YDNA Project available via the internet. Wilson is listed now (2021) in the first group of Brewers after the R1b Massachusetts line of Brewers. Wilson's group is listed as coming from one of the sons of George G. Brewer b1670. Their haplogroup is I1d/I-m253 from Normandy, France Scandinavians. Their close family subclade group is I-Y182422 with their particular mutation being STR Y-GATA-A10 = 14.They have one degree of Mutation difference from the typical average STR markers of the Brewers of Virginia. That is surely then proof of their descent from George G. and his father John III Brewer and his father John II Brewer.
