BREWER / LANIER LINE, color coded light blue in the Y-DNA results chart
***************MAJOR LINE TESTED************
These kits have a close DNA match. Several of them believe they trace back to the BREWER -- LANIER family. Exact relationships
still need to be proved since George Brewer may have had brothers or male cousins. Other males with his Y haplotype may have lived in other places
so a DNA match is not proof of NC roots. Kits ancestry given with earliest ancestor listed first.

Kit 34702 Randy JORDAN (margaretlj @ eircom.net)
THESE JORDAN PARTICIPANTS HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THE FATHER OF THE LINE MAY BE BREWER.
It might be wise for Brewers from Middle Tennessee to compare notes with them. Margaret is contact for her husband Randy.
John Jordan, father of this line, was a mystery man, who claimed to have come from Middle Tennessee and to have been born circa
1839 (no proof). He turned up in Hazel Green, Kentucky as a herb doctor and married Elmina Combs in 1875 (confirmed), a much
younger woman. They had three children, Louis Castor born 1876, John Kelly born 1881 and D. Troy born 1890. D. Troy is Randy's
grandfather. D. Troy Jordan moved to Kansas and married Hazel Hart Ballou 1920. They had two children: Louis Jordan b. 1924,
Elmina Mary Jordan, b. 1921. Louis Jordan married Juanita Morrow in Kansas in 1946 and they had three male children including Randy
born in Kansas in 1952. Randy married Margaret in 2000 and lives in Cork, Ireland.
1) John Jordan (possibly a Brewer) b. 1839 m. Elmina Combs
2) D. Troy Jordan b. 1890 m. Hazel Hart Ballou
3) Louis Jordan b. 1824
