| WILLIAM BREWER AND MARY POLLY NEELEY Owsley, Jackson or Estill County, Kentucky Source - Marchant Thomas website ➚ |
William "Bill" Brewer, son of Howell Cobb Brewer, was born in about 1827 in Hawkins County, Kentucky. He married Elizabeth Ann Cole 19 Jun 1853 in Owsley County, Kentucky. She was born 18 Jul 1839 in Clay County, Kentucky. Their children were John "Ring Neck" Brewer, Nancy Mary "Nan" Brewer, and Howell Brewer. Elizabeth evidently died young. William married Mary Polly Neeley in Owsley County, Kentucky. She was a daughter of Harrison James Neeley and Jane Shepard, born 16 Oct 1848 in Scott County, Virginia. William was about 20 years her senior, but this was not uncommon in that era, especially for this not being his first marriage.
William was a Union soldier in the 47th Kentucky Infantry Regiment, which surprised me, as many of the Brewers were Confederates. By trade, he was a farmer. William died 28 May 1895 in Station Camp. Estill County, Kentucky, and Polly followed him almost 40 years later on the 31st of December, 1932 in New Zion, Jackson County, Kentucky.

William and Isaac were 1st cousins. Yet, given their locales, they probably never met one
another. However, Isaac would have certainly been acquainted with William's father, as they lived in the
another. However, Isaac would have certainly been acquainted with William's father, as they lived in the
same vicinity of North Carolina around the time of the Revolutionary War, in which they both fought.
