There is a Brewer Family Cemetery in Elberton, Elbert CO GA.3778. It is likely that the indivuduals interred in this cemetery were close relatives of Matthew Brewer and his father. There are a number of references to a survey of the cemetery and transcription of a “Brewer bible” by a Mrs. George Grogan in 1938. This bible is said to have recited that Brewers named had been buried at the “Old Brewer Place.”
