• General Notes

  Source: Macosquin Presbyterian Church Baptismal records for his children.  Of Glenhall.  There is no Andrew Brewster in Glenhall by the Griffiths Valuation. 
  
  BB has now sent me a Philadelphia record from 1860 showing an Andrew Brewster, his wife, Mary and his family which includes a John aged 21 (=DoB of 1839).  This man did have a son John in 1839 according to Macosquin Presbyterian church records.  The Philly Andrew must have arrived between 1850 and 1855 as his daughter, Eliza J, aged 10, is given as being born in Ureland, whereas his daughter, Anna, aged 5 is given as being born in Pennsylvania.

  BB: Attached are the records of a few of the Brewsters buried at Mt. Moriah in Philadelphia.  I had asked for those who might be buried with Andrew and Mary Brewster who were from Glenhall and lived in Philadelphia.  This is what I received.  James was a son who died in an accident when a car pulled by a horse (trolley type?) hit and killed him when he was 17 (news article).  He was a stone cutter.  One of their other children with no name is also buried with them and I do not know about Sallie Moore - but she did not necessarily have to be related.  B
