Shoot Out Between the Duckworth Brothers and the Brewer Brothers
At our mini-reunion in October of 2010, we discussed the shoot out between our ancestors and the Duckworth brothers. At the request of several family members, below is the newspaper article of August 18, 1892 in the Statesville Landmark. We believe the Brewer brothers are John Preston and Jerry Lee Brewer. Our Brewer ancestors were particularly skilled with their pistols.

Jerry Lee Brewer is my wife's great-grandfather. Why do you think this was John Preston and Jerry Lee? Has anyone found the results of the trial?
I tried to leave a comment but wasn't sure it got submitted. Jerry Brewer is my wife's great-grandfather. I wondered if anyone has been able to learn the results of the trial. Brian Crawford.
Hello. Can anyone tell me if they have jeremiah A Brewer. Born in Bennett, Chatham county,nc in 1875 thank you.
Ed: Jeremiah A. Brewer (born in 1875)was a descendant of Jeremiah Sr., Jeremiah, Jr., and Eli Caswell. We have been trying to prove that line of Brewers and our line of Brewers, also from Chatham County, are related, but we have been unable to do so. If you would like to discuss the Jeremiah line, send me a private email at brewerfamilync@yahoo.com.
