NJ. (1) She married Johannes Brouwer on 3 Apr 1781 in Conewago, PA. (2) She was 23 years old.  John Brewer was only 20. Her father, Garret Van Arsdalen, wrote his will 16 Nov 1782 naming her as his daughter, "Janetie Brewer."  After his death she was to receive £100 paid out over a two year period. (3)
Shortly after the birth of  their third child in 1786 they moved to Mercer County, KY. She had three more children in Harrodsburg, KY.  Her 6th child, Mary Brewer, was born 6 Mar 1793 and Jannetje Van Arsdalen died just four months later on 19 Jul 1793. (4)
