DORR & BREWSTER INFORMATION FOUND

Justin Perrault writes:

In the last issue of The E-Sylum, Mr. Tom Rigney was seeking information on the Dorr & Brewster partnership. Attached is an except I came across regarding that business partnership, and a bit of their background info, buried in a volume of Michigan State Historical Collections (Volume XXVIII of the Michigan Pioneer and Historical Society), published in 1900. I hope that it is of some help.

Absolutely - thanks! I knew E-Sylum readers couldn't be stumped for long. Justin forwarded a three-page .pdf file, which I passed along to Tom. Below are some excerpted images. -Editor

That is certainly more information than I had been able to find on my own. Please forward my appreciation to Justin. It seems there had been an earlier association between Melvin and William Brewster around 1817 and how this note is signed by both, prior to the business partnership with Josiah Dorr in 1825.

Interesting stuff about these associations in the early days of the city's beginnings . I was thinking that William Brewster may have come from the East as well and may have some history with the founding of Brewster NY-CT. Both Dorr & Brewster had descendants traced back to the Mayflower.
