It is wonderful to have made contact with members of the John Preston branch of the Brewer family. We appreciate all your help with information and pictures. We look forward to seeing many of you at the reunion on June 12.
JP Brewer was the father of my great grandmother, Nannie Kishma Brewer Mayberry. Nannie's daughter, Eva Estelle Mayberry Gill Watson was my grandmother (she married Watson after her divorce. Gill is my daddy's name)
I only just found out this year that a new friend from about 5 years ago is my COUSIN and is thru this same direct line of JP Brewer!

I can see where my grandfather, Robert Preston Brewer, got his eyes from Margaret. :)
Rachel: That is exactly why we post these photos. Glad you see a family resemblance. Keep coming back. We have plenty more to post. Ron
