The oldest direct descendant of Lewis Brewer, Miss Nettie May Brewer of Route 1, Independence, VA, Grayson County, also attended the service. Miss Brewer is a daughter of Stephen Brewer who was a son of Mastin Brewer, the 13th child of Lewis and Agatha Brewer. Miss Brewer exhibited the Brewer coat-of-arms at the service. The history sketched on the back read, "This family was originally of Devonshire, England and the first arms - a shield of red crossed by two wavy bands, the upper of silver and the loser of gold. In the crest, they used a mermaid with comb and mirror of gold, was used in natural coloring - the line which moved into Kent added a canton of Viar to the shield. The arms family became fixed by the Norfolk Branch which changed the canton to a Chief of Viar, this followed by its branch in Somersetshire and London, (recorded in Heralds College, London), which line added a mallet, (a star of five points), to the shield and one to the crest to denote it a Junior or Cadet line of the family." This coat-of-arms copy was painted many years ago by the late Alice Delp Scott, wife of the late Dr. W. W. Scott of Wythe and Grayson counties. Miss Nettie Brewer resides in her family home located on 74 and one half acres of land, a part of Lewis Brewer's original 200 acres, which was given to her father by his father Mastin Brewer. Mrs. Blakely, who also supplied a great deal of the Brewer history, stated that " Lewis Brewer never left his home place in Grayson County to reside elsewhere; that he was very religious and a great influence in the Primitive Baptist Church; that he was well educated and taught school."
