Brewer Last Name History & Origin
AddHistory
After the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, the Brewer name is brought to the British Isles. The surname Brewer was first found in Devon, England. The surname was found at the time of the Domesday Survey (1085) and founding of Tor Abbey (1196). A William le Brewere was recorded in the 'Hundred Rolls' in 1273. John le Bruwere was found in 'Kirby's Quest.' Anthony Bruer was registered in 1588 at the University of Oxford.
The surname was also found in Celtic countries of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. The surname Brewer is usually associated with the Clan MacGregor (Clan Gregor) in Scotland. The names are tied because the surname MacGruther belongs to Clan MacGregor. MacGruther comes from the Gaelic "Mac Grudaire" which means "son of the brewer."
The Brewer family name was found in the USA, the UK, Canada, and Scotland between 1840 and 1920.
Name Origin
"Brewer" is a derivative of the Old English word "breowan" meaning "to brew." It is an occupational name for a brewer of ale or beer. It could also come from the Norman area of Brovera or Brueria (now Breviare) in Normandy. Burgess and Brugha of Ireland are suspect as well. "Brewer" is a spelling variation of the English "Brewster," the French "Bruyère," the Dutch "Brouwer," or the German "Brauer" or "Breuer."

I come from Brewers in NW Georgia. From the research I have, I see they lived in Bartow, Polk, and Greene counties. I have been halted around 1820. If anyone has any info about this family, please feel free to reach out to me.

I have information on Drury Brewer, the first mention I have one him is 1830 Census of District 396, Morgan County, Georgia. The next written record I have found for him is a marriage record, Morgan, GA, 11 Apr 1838, Spouse is Ann R Bellah (with the name Vincient written over Bellah), the next is a marriage record in Morgan County, GA, 1837 to Peggy Twiddy (I believe that this is Drury's son Drewery Brewer because his will in 1845 mentions his wife as Aribellah). The last that I have is his will as recorded with the county of Morgan County, GA. it list his wife; Aribellah and 11 children; Alfred, William Jefferson, Frances, Sarah, Clarke (John Clarke) Brewer married Caroline Broughton (my GGgrandfather), Ethan, Hester, Delilah, Drewry, John, Elisha I have a little more info on them. I do know that John Clark & Caroline Brewer moved to Evangelina County, TX before his father's death 1847. His son Daniel Clark Brewer married Della Rawls in San Angelina County, TX but moved to Van Zandt County, TX with his son (my grandfather) Falva Latson Brewer late 1880.
