Samuel Brewer
- Samuel, bap. at Weston, Jany. 7, 1732-3. He was an officer in the French war, and prob. was the Ensign Brewer who was under Major Rogers, the famous commander of a company of Rangers during that war. They were at Fort Wihiam Henry, Jany. 17, 1757. The Third Provincial Congress of Mass. appointed Samuel Brewer Adjutant General of the Mass. Army, June 27, 1775. (See Journal of Pro. Congress, p. 404.) Dec. 12, 1775, a warrant was issued by the Council to pay " Samuel Brewer, Esq. 25. 17. 1. for his services as Adjutant General of the Colony Army." (Council Rec. Vol. 6.) In the absence of all evidence to the contrary, I suppose this was the son of Daniel. Samuel the son of Daniel, was a Col. in the Revolution. Sep. 15, 1777, then at Stillwater, he with other officers petitioned the government of Mass. to be supplied with clothing and camp equipments from a vessel recently captured from the British and brought into Boston, to make good the losses they had sustained in the retreat from Ticonderoga. (See Vol. 4 of Petitions at the State House.) Col. Samuel Brewer was cashiered Sep. 29, 1778, as appears by the army rolls ; and tradition says was immediately restored, and was in commission as late as 1781, since which date I find no trace of him. In the His. of Concord it is stated that Samuel and Daniel Brewer, (of Concord ? ) were among "the sick and wounded soldiers" "in the Crown Point expedition (1756), who received aid from government." They were prob. the sons of Daniel. The most diligent reseai'ch has failed to gain any more information about these two.
