Jacob became a church member at NYDR on 21 Nov. 1743, on confession of faith. He is recorded, as of Kings County, when enlisted in the militia in 1715. He is mentioned along with Evrard and Sybrandt Brouwer in a deed dated 11 Feb 1717 in Brooklyn. The children of Jacob Brouwer are mentioned in the will of Rachel Smith, who was a sister of Petronella la Montagne, dated 17 Sep 1757. She calls Jacob Brouwer her brother-in-law and names his children Jacob, John, Everhardus, and Abraham. To the later she leaves her sermon book.
Bergen, in his "Bergen Genealogy" also names a fifth son Cornelis Brouwer, supposedly b. 9 Nov 1730. This statement has been followed by others and is included in DAR Lineage Book 61:158, which states that he died in 1805, served in Capt. Brouwer's Company, and married Mary Archer (b. 21 Apr, 1733) of the well known Archer family of Westchester County, New York. Hoffman disputes those claims, stating that he has found no evidence or records to show that Cornelis is a son of this Jacob, and although he (in 1947) has not been able to place Cornelis anywhere within this Brouwer ancestry, he definetly does not believe that he belongs in the family of Jacob and Petronella.
