Samuel G. Brewer was born May 1859 to George W. Brewer and Julia A. Rikert in New York.
1870: At the age of 11, Samuel and his family were living in New York Ward 19, District 8 according to the Federal Census.
1880: At the age of 21, Samuel married Mary Adelaide Wainman (1865-1939). The 1880 Census cites that Samuel is a milkman.
1885: Robert Melvin is born to the couple. Robert will marry his second cousin, Mabel Baines (1889-1982) and they will have the following children: Howard W. (1910-1986), Dorothy (1912-unknown), Muriel (1915-unknown), Thelma (1921-1998), Adelaide (1924-unknown), Robert (1925-2007), and Evelyn (1926-2006). Robert will also be a milkman. He dies on April 11, 1927.
1887: Their next child, Arthur Brewer is born on July 1887. Arthur will become a checking clerk according to the 1910 Federal Census. He will marry his second cousin (sister of Mabel Baines), Martha C. Baines on March 15, 1913. They will have three children: Arthur (1915-unknown), Hazel (1923-unknown), and Charles (1928-unknown). By 1920, he is a clerk for the electric company. It is unknown when he dies, but it is after 1930.
1893: Born on October 12, 1893 to Samuel and Mary, Adelaide does not seem to marry and have children, but instead she is a milliner and makes hats. She does not seem to marry, but she will support her mother through 1930.
1899: Edith is born in March of 1899 to the couple. In 1920, she is working, but the handwriting on the census is so illegible, it is impossible to tell what she is doing. She disappears from the records at this point. It is unknown if she marries, has children, or when she dies.
1900-1920: It is known that Samuel becomes the manager of the milk company he works for in New York. It is also known that the Brewer and Wainman family were neighbors on the same street in the Bronx: Boston Road. This may account for the close relationships that formed between the cousins.
1922: Samuel dies from chronic heart disease on November 27, 1922 and is buried on November 30, 1922 in Cypress Hill Cemetary in Brooklyn.
