Note: Married his 1st cousin, Athan "Annie" Brown ***********************************
Hi, Michael,
To further answer your question about Brewer links to my Browns in Chatham Co, NC: the main one is Martha (Patsy) Brewer, born about 1803,married (about 1826) Archibald Brown, born about 1798. She was his first wife. Archibald married (2nd) Rebecca Kelly. Archibald was the brother of my 3G grandfather, Andrew Brown, Jr. (1803-1882) Children of Archibald and Martha were:
--Annie B, born 4 Sept 1827--married Elisha Wicker
--Elizabeth--13 Oct-1828-25 Jun 1893-wed John A. Gunter
--William--31 Dec 1832-1 Sep 1900-wed Mary J. ____
--Andrew S. Brown-born 1834-wed 1st cousin Althea Ann Brown
Andrew served in 26th NC Infantry Regt, listed as missing at Gettysburg, never came back home.
--Infant son-died soon after birth about 1835-1840
Martha Brewer's mother was Elizabeth Hinton...I don't have her father's name. Eliz. was the sister of Nancy Minter Hinton, born 1806, the wife of Andrew Brown Jr, my 3G grandmother. Martha is said to buried in McLeod cemetery #3. I dont have a location.
All this info comes from the research of Fenton Wicker, who has done many years of work in Chatham and surrounding counties in central NC.

Regiment History:
Antietam after battle report:
Reports of Maj. William W. Sillers, Thirtieth North Carolina
Infantry, of the battles of Boonsborough and Sharpsburg.
EIGHT MILES NORTH OF WINCHESTER, VA.,
October 13, 1862.
In obedience to orders, I have the honor submit the following report of the
part taken by the Thirtieth Regiment North Carolina Troops, Col. F. M.
Parker commanding, in the battle of South Mountain, September 14, to wit:
The regiment, except as to its skirmishers, was not actually engaged with
any visible portion of the enemy's forces at any time during the battle. Late
in the forenoon our skirmishers exchanged a few shots
with those of the enemy near the point where Gen. Garland's brigade
engaged the enemy, by which we lost 1 captain and 3 privates wounded;
total,4.
A few minutes before night the regiment was under fire from an unseen foe.
The fire was replied to; with what effect is not known, as it soon became
dark and the brigade moved down the mountain. We changed position
several times during the day, marching up and down the mountain. In these
movements, made very rapidly and in the heat of the day, some of the men
became exhausted and fell out of the ranks. Others were, no doubt,
wounded, in the random firing late in the afternoon, causing a loss, in
missing, of 15 privates, and making a total of wounded and missing, during
the day, of 19.
Respectfully submitted.
W.W.SILLERS,
Maj., Commanding.

Commanding Brigade.
-----
EIGHT MILES NORTH OF WINCHESTER, VA.,
October 13, 1862.
In obedience to orders, I have the honor to submit the following report of the
part taken by the Thirtieth Regiment North Carolina Troops in the battle of
Sharpsburg, September 17, to wit:
Supposing that the main road which leads from the bridge across Antietam
Creek through the center of Sharpsburg to run north and south, our brigade
took position northwest and about half a mile from the town, and the
Thirtieth Regiment was on the right of the brigade. Our line was formed in
a road which, by the wear of travel, had been let down to the depots of a
foot or more into the earth. In front of the right wing of our regiment, and
at a distance of not more than 50 paces, there was a ravine which, extending
diagonally to the left, gradually narrowed down the level space in front until
in front of the extreme left of the Thirtieth there was not more than 30 paces
of level ground. Our position was taken, I suppose, about 8.30 a.m. In the
space of half or three-quarters of an hour the enemy made his appearance,
crossed the ravine, and began his advance up the hill. A well-directed fire
broke his line and drove him back. Up to this time, as far as the eye could
reach to the right (300 yards), there was no support to our brigade; but about
this time Brig.-Gen. Wright's brigade came up. The enemy continued
to make his appearance, first on one hill then another, but always at long
range. The line was ordered to advance, and halted on the edge of the
ravine. Here a hot fire was kept for a few minutes. Soon the line was
ordered to take its first position, and did so. In a very short time Col.
Parker passed me, retiring, seriously wounded, from the field. From this
time, about 11.30 a.m, the regiment was under my command. A desultory
fire was kept up for some time, the enemy making demonstrations in front
of the brigade on our right. Our fire at this point was not very effective,
the range being too great and a fence intervening. Soon my attention was
called to our right, which was again unsupported. Almost immediately my
attention was called to the opposite flank (the left), which was uncovered as
far as I could see. I sent a captain to the left to see if any one was there,
and he reported no one. I then gave the order to fall back. We retired about
300 yards. Here we made a stand. Twice we advanced from this point, and
twice we fell back to it. A short time before sunset the enemy advanced. We
joined in a charge against them, and drove them so effectually that they did
not appear again. In our last position we were under a pretty severe fire
from artillery, playing on the front and flank. Here we remained until after
nightfall, when we were withdrawn by order of Maj. Gen. D.H. Hill.
The regiment before the fight numbered about 250, all told. We lost in
killed, 10, in wounded, 62, and in missing, 1, making a total of 76. I brought
off from the fight 159.
Very respectfully submitted.
W.W. SILLERS,
Maj., Commanding.
Col. W.P. BYNUM,
Commanding Brigade.

Gettysburg after battle report:
Report of Maj. W. W. Sillers, Thirtieth North Carolina Infantry.
July 19, 1863.
Sir: The part taken by the Thirtieth Regt. North Carolina
troops in the battle of Gettysburg having been under the eye of
Brig.-Gen. Ramseur, it is unnecessary to go into details. The
regiment (excepting as to its sharpshooters) was actively engaged
only during the early part of the afternoon of Wednesday, July 1.
It participated in the charge upon the enemy which resulted in driving
him from a strong position behind a stone wall on elevated ground
to the plain below in front of Gettysburg. After this, the enemy
made but faint show of resistance until safe behind stone walls and
intrenchments on the heights above the town. We sustained some
losses during Thursday and Friday, chiefly among sharpshooters.
The regiment went into the fight under the command of Col. F. M.
Parker, who was severely wounded after the stone wall was taken.
We neither lost nor captured a flag during the engagement.
Our loss was 6 killed, 36 wounded, and 5 missing, making a total
of 47.*
Respectfully submitted.
W. W. SILLERS,
Maj., Comdg. Thirtieth North Carolina Troops.

Assistant Adjutant-Gen.
