From Janis Brown Wood of Ralston, OK (grannyjan1 @ sbcglobal.net):

Does anyone have a connection to Winnie Brewer(1818-1876) her father would be George
Brewer(1784-1853). She would be my ggGrandmother.  She married William Bowden.  In my great uncles
notes from 1914 he says they were from Ireland or Scotland.
