BREW FAMILY
Of County Clare
Embedded Files
Much of research below on the Brew family has originally been carried out by other researchers, and in part information is directly from the Brew family, along with my own research.
The Brew family were an English family that arrived in Ireland in around 1628. There are several different Brew branches, that probably have a common connection, and below are those associated with Co. Clare. This page looks at the following:
Brew of Ennis, & Clonkerry, Labasheedy, Co. Clare, associated with Richmond House & Applevale, Corofin and Leadmore House & Clonderalaw, Kilrush, Co. Clare.
Brew of Kilferagh, Newtown (Newtown House), & Clarefield, Kilrush, Co. Clare
Brew of Carnanes, Kilrush, Co. Clare
Brew of Parknamoney, Kilrush, Co. Clare
1 - Brew of Ennis, & Clonkerry, Labasheedy, Co. Clare
Begins with Richard Brew being the earliest Brew member to have records associated with County Clare. It is believed that Richard, is the father of brothers, Tomkins, Richard, & John Brew, born circa 1715 - 1725. There is also a George Brew, who may also be a son or brother/cousin to Richard.
1 Richard Brew, born c1695, of Ennis, Brewer/Vintner with Court of Exchequer Records dating from 1726. According to Brew history and registry of Brew, Richard married Ellinor O'Brien (c1700 - 1756), only child of Turlogh O'Brien and Mary Blake of Cahincrocane, Co. Galway. Richard and Ellinor are suggested to be the parents of:
Tomkins Brew, Richard Brew, & John Brew, of Clare, as detailed below. It is unclear if George Brew, Gaoler, of Ennis is also a brother/cousin.
Reference to Richard Brew and his wife, Ellinor in the Crossle Genealogical Abstracts, where Turlogh O'Brien had died, and administration granted to Ellinor Brew, otherwise, O'Brien, the daughter, next of kin to the deceased, and wife of Richard Brew of Ennis, brewer, dated 07 January 1741.
Brews as follows:
(Unknown Relation) George Brew, born c1700, Gaoler (Prison Officer), Ennis. George is referenced in Crossle Genealogical Abstracts in Reg. of Deeds, dated 07 June 1725, as follows:
By Thomas Whittington, dated 12 February 1725, whereby George Brew of Ennis, Goaler, demised to Thomas Whittington, also of Ennis, Chandler, the sixth part of the lands and farm, Braighfaugh (Breaghva/Breaffa), in common and in a ample manner as same was formerly held by James Magher deceased, situated in the parish of Kilrush, Co. Clare. To hold for Whittington for the lives of said George Brew and of Michael Brew and Francis Brew and survivor of them from date here of at £2 yearly rent.
(Son) Tomkins Brew born c1725, of Dunmore Co. Clare, died 1756. Brother to Richard Brew, vintner, Ennis. There must be a marriage connection related to Brew and Tomkins, for the name to be introduced into the family. Tomkins married Jane Chartres (D. 1802), daughter of John Chartres of Clonderalaw, Co. Clare. Children as follows taken from the Adams of Killoe and Willbrook, Clare, family tree:
i Chartres Brew born 1756 of Prospect, Kilmurray, Co. Clare and later of Applevale, Corofin. Died 1819, aged 63 (Ref: Memorials of the Dead). Married Rebecca Adams (1764 - 1802), eldest daughter and co-heiress of Charles Adams and Alice, his wife, in Killaloe on the 07.02.1782. Information as follows from Landed Estates, University of Galway:
An agreement dated 1762 refers to Richard Brew of Donmore [Doonmore?] and to his deceased brother Tomkins Brew, who appears to have married Jane Chartres of Limerick. They had a son named Chartres Brew. This agreement concerned the lands of Moyarta. In 1782 Chartres Brew of Prospect married Rebecca daughter of Charles Adams of Killoe. Another Brew/Adams marriage took place in 1786 between Rebecca's sister Alice and Richard Brew of Tullycrine.
By the time of Griffith's Valuation the representaives of Tomkins Brew held land in the parish of Kilnamona, barony of Inchiquin. Tomkins Brew was married to Jane Smith, half sister of Lady Charlotte O'Brien.
