Her brother is Isaac Brewster, of the Second Ward. She was always a faithful consistent member of the Presbyterian Church, a kind mother and a good neighbor.

(From original poster on Ancestry board) NOTE: Sarah was the daughter of Samuel and Sarah Brewster. She married Douglas McLean about 1839, and that marriage ended when he left for the gold rush of 1849. She married again to John Bryson, 5/11/1850. He died in 1870. It is possible she was married between 1845 and 1850 to someone else, but most likely she was only married twice.
