Cassie Belle Harrison in a letter to Fonda June Woods Bonner "There were many Georges, we had two. Fonda, your father was known by "Little George" all of his life by three generations. His and my great grandparents were, Isaac Nathan "Nathan" and Mary Brewer. They had four boys; George (Grandpa Woods), John, Isaac "Uncle Ike" my favorite and Dude. Nathon "Nath" served in the Civil War in Tennesee. He hadn't been home long, when he was sitting out side, a couple of men rode up by horseback and shot him. I never learned why, probably Yankees. Mary then married his brother Tom and they had three boys and a girl. They were Joe (Tom's Dad) this note Cassie wrote may mean that Joe was named after Isaac and Tom's father), Sam, Hector and Fanny,"

Isaac married Brewer, Mary. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
