註釋This book traces the history of a significant branch of the Brewer Family from 17th century Colonial Virginia through the mid-19th century, a period for which many existing family pedigrees have been speculative or unknown. The author brings modern YDNA tools and a detailed record analysis to bear in an effort to more accurately examine the roots of this family group. The author hypothesizes, based on the record evidence identified to date, that the tested members of this YDNA subclade - I-Y21524 -are descendants of John Brewer (I), one of the so-called ancient planters of the English colony in Virginia, through his son John Brewer II. As the book explains, it is possible that most of the tested members of this family group are descendants of John II's reputed son Thomas Brewer, who lived in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. The book focuses on the migratory path of this family group and their allied families from Virginia to North Carolina, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, and Alabama as it pushed westward throughout the American frontier into the 19th century. The author's goal is to apply a more modern hybrid methodology -- combining historical record research and modern scientific tools -- for exploring the deeper roots of family group histories that will help researchers penetrate brick walls in their own genealogies. This book is part of an emerging trend in genealogical research: it recognizes that, as our shared understanding of genetic science continues to improve and more record evidence is available through evolving digital research tools, further breakthroughs and corrections are inevitable. Its aim is to encourage a broader interactive discussion among researchers that will improve our shared base of knowledge over time. It is meant to be used by genealogy enthusiasts of different interest and experience levels, recognizing that we all learn from each other as we fill in pieces of the puzzle of our common ancestry.
