272. Elzira Brewer118 was born on 27 Jun 1838 in Elk Creek Township, Grayson County, Virginia.359 She died on 11 May 1916 in Grayson County, Virginia.359 She was also known as Elvira Brewer. She was buried in Summerfield Cemetery, Grayson County, Virginia.

From June Brewer Welsch: Grayson County Virginia, m/reg she was 19 single born Grayson County Virginia, daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth Brewer. Married by G. W. Martin. I found her name as Elizina, and Elvira.

Elzira Brewer and Micajeh Stone Roberts were married on 10 Jan 1858 in Grayson County, Virginia. Micajeh Stone Roberts370 (son of John Roberts and Elizabeth Stein) was born on 14 Dec 1821 in Grayson County, Virginia. He appeared in the census in 1880 in Grayson County, Virginia. In 1880 he was a blacksmith. He died in 1909 in Grayson County, Virginia. He was buried in Summerfield Cemetery, Grayson County, Virginia.

1870 Census shows Micajeh Roberts, age 48, a farmer, living with: Elzira, age 36; Margarett, age 21; Evalina H., age 19; James L., age 11; Elisha G., age 10; Olly E., age 8; Melville W., age 6; Nancy M., age 4. Apparently, Margarett and Evalina are by a previous marriage. Elizabeth Cornett, age 69, is also living in the household; is she Margarett and Evalina's grandmother?
