Here is the Wm Brewster family in 1860 US Census in Philadelphia. It apparently shows William's mother, Sarah Brewster, with the family as well as more children than we had from the 1870 Census.

On the same record are Chas and Sally (Creelman) Gray and family, suggesting that Sarah and Nancy were sisters.
BB: The person who has all the data on James Robert Creelman and Martha Gault has 7 children listed for them including Hugh. I don't see Nancy Creelman so I would suspect she is another Creelman family. Perhaps??
BB: The interesting note here is that Joseph C Gray's middle name (son of Charles and Sarah Gray) starts with a C which leads me to believe Sarah may have been a Crowe or a Creelman. Since she is attending the same church as Nancy Creelman Brewster she may be her older sister. However, the Crowes also belong to this Church.
BB: It is now my belief that Hugh Creelman and Nancy Creelman are siblings. If William and Nancy's first daughter was an Elizabeth that would certainly link with Hugh's second daughter being named Elizabeth Creelman. Their parents are more than likely James and Elizabeth Creelman b in the the 1780s or thereabouts.
