"JACOB H. BREWER, farmer, Russell's Mills, is the son of John andMinerva (Prest) Brewer, natives of Pennsylvania, who settled inVermillion county, Indiana, at an early date, and where he was born in1841. The family is originally from Holland, and at present they areengaged in an effort to obtain a portion of a large fortune, which wasleft in that country by one of their ancestors. Hisgreat-great-grandfather, Sybrant Brewer, or Brower, as the name wasoriginally spelled, was one of the first settlers of New Amsterdam,now New York, and there married Sarah Webber, returning again toHolland, where they made their wills and died. His great-grandfather,Mathew Brower, was born in New Jersey; served throughout therevolutionary war, and afterward settled in Pennsylvania, and diedthere; his grandfather, Jacob Brewer, who was born in New Jersey,afterward removed to Ohio. His father and mother were born in 1813,in Pennsylvania, and in 1839 removed to Vermillion county, Indiana,where they resided until 1874, when they located in Sugar Creektownship, where they are still residents. When Mr. Jacob C. (H)Brewer settled in this township, in 1841, the farm he now occupies washeavily timbered, there only being about one acre cleared upon it.Now he has one of the most productive farms and beautiful residencesin the township, the result of his own energetic labor and industry.He has been twice married; the first time, in 1864, to Miss ElizabethLusk, the youngest daughter of the late Salmon Lusk, one of the firstsettlers in the township; he married his present wife, Miss RebeccaKemp, daughter of Jess Kemp, who formerly owned what is known asRussell's Mill, in 1875, and has a family of five children: Salmon,Almeda, Governeur, John J., and Jesse Irving. His farm now consistsof 340 acres. He is a member of the Society of Friends; is justice ofthe peace, and served during the war in Co. K, 97th Ind. reg., and inpolitics is a republican."

HISTORY OF PARKE COUNTY INDIANA SUGAR CREEK TOWNSHIP (Beckwirth)
In 1826, at the Narrows of Sugar Creek, was built the first mill inthis part of the country, by Salamon Lusk. He cut the mill-racethrough the rocks and erected a large and complete flouringestablishment, and shortly there after built a packing house; engagedextensively in shipping grain, pork, and flour to New Orleans, andforward as high as twenty flat boats annually. In 1822, Solmon cameto Parke County and settled on land that is now, "Turkey Run StatePark". In 1841, he built his home out of brick and entirely out ofmaterial found in Parke County. Through the years it (the park) hasbeen host to many legends. The house has been recently restored andis open to the public (c.1983). In the basement is the Lusk and CloreHistory. [The house is open at certain times of the year, and theState has historical tours that can be enjoyed by the public.]
He was a private-captain, 1st Co., Veteran, 1861 - 1865 Vermont, Warof 1812.
He was a native of Vermont who enlisted as a soldier and located atFort Harriason in 1816, shortly afterwards he bought a farm inVermillion County, got married and moved into it. His wife being thedaughter of Old John Beard, who built the first mill on Sugar Creek.He remained there on the farm and running what is known as Durgee'sFerry, until April 3, 1826. When he moved to Sugar Creek Township,settling at the Narrows, and there erected a mill, which had threeruns of burrs and a saw, doing a very large business in grinding,sawing, and packing pork. The mill and all the surrounding buildingswere swept away by what is known as the New Year Freshet, on New Yearsmorning, at 8:00, 1847."

JOHN LUSK: ENIGMA by Russell L. Hamm
Excerpt: "Salmon Lusk, John's father, who died August 28, 1869, inhis will provided that two beds and bedding and two cows should begiven his wife; $200 to his son William; $200 to his son John.
After the payment of these bequests, he expressed the desire that hisreal and personal estate be converted into money and divided betweenhis children Susan Lusk, Elizabeth Brewer, Lydia Brown, and thechildren of his deceased daughter, Mary Clore. (A son, Salmon Lusk,Jr., was killed in the Battle of Thompson Station, Springhill,Tennessee, and a little daughter Caroline, who died at 2 years, 9months, and 2 days on November 12, 1842 is buried just to the south ofthe Lusk home.)
Mary Beard Lusk, John's mother, to whom he was devoted lived until1880; and after that, few people saw the interior of the house, whereJohn continued to live alone. It has been written that he boarded upthe windows of his mother's room lest some unfriendly eye gaze on herpossessions." Etc..."Most amazing was a letter from Salmon Lusk,Sr.'s mother to her son, dated June 4, 1816, from Carleton, Vermont."
NOTE: John Lusk was the son of Salmon Lusk, Sr. See notes of JohnLusk.

THE DAILY CLINTONIAN NEWSPAPER, CLINTON, VERMILLION COUNTY, INDIANA;"LUSK HOUSE RECALLS STATE'S PAST"; TUESDAY, JUNE 14, 1983; byConstance Kay Swaim
EXCERPTS PERTAINING TO GENEALOGY: "Turkey Run State Park...SalmonLusk was born in 1788 in Rutland County, Vermont, just a year beforeGeorge Washington became president. As a young man he traveled westand enlisted in the army at Terre Haute. Lusk fought for two yearsunder the command of William Henry Harrison during the War of 1812....after the war Lusk bought land in the Brouilletts Creek area ofVermillion County and became interested in the milling business andthe miller's daughter. In 1819 he married Mary (Polly) Beard, thedaughter of a local mill operator. Later he decided to start his ownmilling operation, and in 1822 he entered his first claim in ParkeCounty at the Narrows area of Sugar Creek. Lusk built a mill in 1826just up stream from where the Narrows Bridge now stands. A thrivingcommunity developed around the mill, which included a store, tavern,and warehouse. Salmon and Mary Lusk had five daughters and threesons, one daughter, Caroline, died at age 2 and is buried near thehouse. A son Salmon, "Solly" Jr., died in 1863 at the battle ofThompson station in Tennessee....after his son's death, Salmon boughtmany war bonds to show his patriotism. When Lusk first moved to thearea he built a log cabin, but as his family grew, Lusk made plans tobuild a new home. He chose a hill overlooking the mill, and the househe built there in 1841 is still standing (You can tour this hometoday.) Salmon Lusk built his home from local material. He usedlumber from Tulip, oak, and black walnut trees. The foundation wallswere made of mortared sandstone, quarried near the home. Bricks whichwere kilned on the site, cover the outside of the house. Salmon diedin 1869, at that time his son, John, returned home to take care of hismother. There are many stories about the eccentricities of John Lusk. He was a semi-recluse who discouraged visitors, especially women.But due largely to his efforts Turkey Run (State Park) remains what itis today. "John was the last member of the (immediate) family to livehere (some descendants did however to care for the place). It wasbecause of his love for the timber that Turkey Run was saved,"...Johnrefused many offers from timber companies eager to buy the untouchedtimber land. He did let people wander over his land, and in 1881 heleased some of it to the Indianapolis, Decatur and SpringfieldRailroad for use as a summer resort known as Bloomingdale Glen. AfterJohn's death in 1915 a drive was started,...to make the area a statepark. After John died, ..., no one lived in the house until the1960's when caretakers moved in to prevent vandalism. (NOTE: This isinaccurate to say the least. It is a known fact amongst familymembers that descendants did stay in the house from time to time,including an aunt & uncle of this compiler--Roy Paul & Vera EllenElkins Paddock--which I'm sure could be verified with postal recordsthat others did occupy the house and property over the years. Theproblem was that not enough family members took an interest in keepingthe property up. it was drafty and cold in the winter months.)....Beginning last year, the park began giving tours to thehome....Upstairs on the first floor visitors can look through thefamily Bible where Mary Lusk's death is recorded....The family parloralso on the ground floor is where John spent many of his later years.This room contains a pie safe and ledger belonging to the Luskfamily...."
