Jenison and Martha Brower, Fox
| Adam Brower/Brewer married Charity Foust in North
Carolina. At some point they moved to Mercer Co MO, they had sons in IL, IA, and MO. Their grandson was Jennison Brower, who possibly was born of Lovey Caroline Brower, the daughter of Adam Brower and Charity. It is possible that Jennison used his mother's maiden name |

1913 Happyville "J. Brower of Mildred hauled several loads of old corn to D.C. Bell's last week."
1916 "They say that Grandpa Brower, of Mildred, was at one of the neighbors one day last week helping shell corn and actually shoveled more corn into the machine than any three of the other scoopers. Didn't think it would affect him that way, but we can't always tell." (maybe a joke about his being energized by being a grandfather?)
