    Notes 
    • Edward Brewer, the first of that name to settle in North Yarmouth, Maine, was an early settler on Wolf's Neck and is believed to be the ancestor of all Brewers in the Freeport area. The town of Freeport was set off from North Yarmouth and incorporated in 1789. One of the town histories as a "Connecticut sailor." Hannah's name appears as No. 215 on a listing of members admitted to the First Church, North Yarmouth, on 19 September 1762.

      On 1 Oct 1771, Edward Brewer bought for £23 3s 9d, "One moiety or full half part equivalent of lot 55 ... 50 acres in Right of home lot No. 6 originally owned by George Monk ... starting at a hemlock tree on a large rock in the bank of a certain Creek which bounds the easterly side of lot 54, from thence southeasterly 100 rods to a maple tree, thence northeasterly 80 rods to the Range of hundred acre lots, called Range D, thence north west by Range D to aforesaid Creek."

      On 20 October 1777, he bought 50 acres on Lot 58. Finally by a deed dated 12 July 1783, he bought from Jeremiah Powell of Boston, for £20, "the equivalent of Lot 56, drawn in lieu of salt marsh in the right of house lot No. 46, originally Thomas Southworth's and recorded to said house lot 46 and the other half of said equivalent to House lot number 74, the whole of said equivalent containing 5 acres more or less ... as by North Yarmouth Proprietor's Records may appear."

      No records have been of the deaths of Edward and Hannah but he was listed in the 1800 census at North Yarmouth.
