William Brewer also allegedly had a daughter --
or perhaps a sister -- named Crystal, who was kidnapped by Indians when
she was very young. It is more believeable for it to be a sister, as William
started having his children in the 1850s, while his father Howell
Cobb Brewer started his family before 1815. Also, Howell once
said he and his first wife had twelve children, but only the names of 11
are known. However, in the same place where he said that, I think he also
said that all 12 survived to adulthood. (Statement reprinted in "The
Ambrose Brewer Family" by James F. Bowman, 1962.) And I did not realize
that anyone was named Crystal, Kristen or any similar-sounding name in the
19th Century. Christina maybe.
