Talladega County, Alabama

Isaac Brewer (1763-1852)

Born - 15 May 1763 Creek and Cherokee Nation (later Wilkes County, Georgia)
1st Marriage - ca. 1793 Oconee River area, Georgia (name unknown)
2nd Marriage - before 1800 possibly Hancock County, Georgia (Sarah)
Died - 25 May 1852 Silver Run, Talladega County, Alabama

Isaac served in the Revolutionary War while living along Haw River in Chatham County, North Carolina and later also served in the Oconee Indians Wars and War of 1812 from Georgia.  After leaving Georgia he made his home in eastern Tennessee before moving to Talladega County, Alabama where he lived out the remainder of his days.

I suspect that this obituary was written and submitted by a close family friend, Henry H Sutton, who was also Isaac's lawyer and the executor of his will.  Henry later married Isaac's daughter, Elizabeth.

Update - The possible cause of death could have been Dropsy, Smallpox, or Acute Pleurisy. In a court case against the above mentioned Henry H Sutton, an account is given of Isaac's medical expenses, incurred before his death. The doctor tended to him regularly in March, April and May of 1852. The medications administered were listed, namely Jalap, Cream of Tartar, Nitre and Effusive Tincture of Iodine. In researching old remedies which included these items, Dropsy seems the most likely condition from which Isaac suffered, although Smallpox or Acute Pluerisy are also possible.
