BROWER
My Leander Brower Family which arrived in Henderson County in 1830 consisted of 11 children by 1850. Nine lines have been followed and documented, the two missing are ladies.
Sarah E. Brower and two son's in the 1870 census has haunted me for years. I have followed Sarah and son William through the 1870 census. At that time Sarah Brower was living in the household of Henry and Mary Miller. Sometime after the 1880 census, Sarah Brower, finally remarried to B, F. McClaren. In 1900, Dessie Brower, William Henry Brower's daughter is reflected in her household, with William two household's away. 1910 Sarah Brower McClaren was living with William Henry Brower and his children, Dressie 16, John B. 15 and Biffie 9. She was once again a widow. 1930, Chester, William Henry Brower married to Ada appears with daughter Dorothy. Son John B. Brower next door. Researching this family I have learned if you pay attention to the census information. There is a problem with the birth date listed on William Henry Brower's headstone. Birth date should be 1861.
Per Headstone information: William Henry Brower, born October 4, 1865 and died October 27, 1930, he lived in Chester County and is buried in Unity Cemetery in Chester.
Death Certificate Information: Brower, W.H. Chester County, TN 10/27/1930 22338
William Henry Brower. His father was listed as J. W. Brower, Mother was listed as Sarah McClarin. So informant J. B. Brower was not aware of his grandmother's maiden name
While these are not members of The Leander Brower Family of Henderson County. I sincerely, hope the reasearch in this area would be helpful to someone.
