    JAMES T. BREWER is the eldest of nine children born to George and Anne
    (Carrico) Brewer, and was born in Marion County, Ky., in 1828.  His
    educational advantages in boyhood were very limited, he attending the
    subscription schools only a few weeks during the year.  He remained with his
    father until twenty-five years of age, when he married Rosellen O'Brien,
    born in 1833, daughter of John J. and Louisa (Montgomery) O'Brien.  To Mr.
    and Mrs. Brewer were born these four children:  Josephine, Christopher C.,
    Rosellen and Francis.  Mr. Brewer is a stanch Democrat and cast his first
    vote for Franklin Pearce.  As a farmer he has met with good success.  He
    began life for himself with eighty acres of timber land, which he began to
    clear and on which he built his first log house in 1854, which forms part
    of his present residence.  His farm now amounts to 140 acres.  Mrs. Brewer died in 1863, and the following year he married Jane E. Walker, born in1838, daughter of James and Belinda (Mattingly) Walker.  To this marriage these four children were born:  George, James, Albert and Louis.  All the family are members of the Catholic Church.
