Charles Brewster gravestone Iowa
Charles was born in 1813.
• Birth Notes

  BB has also sent me the 1860 census for Iowa, which shows a Charles Brewster, born Ireland, merchant aged 44.  This gives a DoB of 1816.  He is living with his siblings, Eliza Jane, Mary and James.
  
  BB has now sent me a death notice drom a newspaper dated 13th November 1893, which states: "Charles brewster, a resident of Fort Madison, Iowa, since 1844 is dead.  He was a banker and 82 years old."  This would give a DoB of 1811.
  
  I prefer this as his DoB as he was much younger then: immigration record supplied by BB of a John Brewster arriving in Philly, aged 70, in 1826, along with a Charles Brewster, aged 13 = DoB of 1813.
  
  
  
He died at the age of 80 in 1893.
