Thomas was the only son of Crispus Brewer of Boston and Lynn, Mass.

Elizabeth Graves (11) was born about 1662 in Lynn, Essex Co., Mass. She married Thomas Brewer (or Bruer) on 4 Dec. 1682 in Lynn. Thomas was born about 1657, baptized 13 Nov. 1659, was aged over 14 in 1672, and died by 14 March 1709, perhaps by 10 Dec. 1706.

In 1678, Thomas Brewer took the oath of allegiance in Lynn, vide ante. Note that, 14 Dec. 1697, "Voated that Thomas Brewer shall have ten pounds to help pay the doctor for his care"; granted to him six poles of town common to improve, 8 March 1698/99 (Lynn Town Records, 1:53, 60). The files also show that Thomas of Lynn took the oath 26 Feb. 1677, and that he owed Henry Collins 10 days work on the bridge in June 1682 (Essex Files, 6:399; 7:158; 8:364). 8 March 1699/1700, Thomas Brewer was to improve some land that he had worked on the last year (Lynn Town Records, 1:65)

Thomas Brewer was born about 1658 in Massachusetts. He may have been the son of Crispus and Mary Brewer.

He married Elizabeth Graves on December 4, 1682. Elizabeth was born about 1660 in Lynn. She was the daughter of Thomas and Hannah Graves.

They lived in Lynn, Essex County, Masschusetts.
