WILLIAM R. BREWSTER wrote his Will 11-SEP-1832 as follows:
"I WILLIAM R. BREWSTER of the City & County of New York being mindful of the uncertainty of life & feeble in body but of sound and disposing mind & memory do make & publish this my last will & testament, and do give & bequeath unto my beloved wife & child all my property whatsoever after the payment of my debts desiring that the same may be invested as soon as posible in a safe and productive manner & the interest applied to their maintenance & support & to the education of my child but in case the interest of my property should not be sufficient for these purposes it is my will that the principal be applied to their use at the discretion of my Executors. It is also my will that in the event of my wife marrying again the whole interest of my property invested as above stated shall go to the maintenance & eduction of my child and the principal be subject to her control on her becoming of age. And I do hereby appoint ARTHUR MOTT of Skaneateles, ISAAC W. BREWSTER of Jamesville & ANDREW W. MOTT of Canandaigua Executors of this my last will & testament.
In witness whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name this eleventh day of September eighteen hundred and thirty two.
WILLIAM R. BREWSTER
The above instrument was subscribed by the testator in the presence of each of us, he at the time declaring it to be his last will & testament in witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names in the presence of each other & of the testator & at his request.

WILLIAM R. BREWSTER died in the Town of Skaneateles, Onondaga County, NY, 14-SEP-1832. His will was probated in the Town of Salina, Onondaga County, 9-OCT-1832.
Research of Kevin Everingham: 2010
1831 James Evernghim (0), b. Brooklen NY abt 1831, died 21 February 1831 at Manhattan, NY, NY
1831 Avis Everngham (33), b.Westchester Co. abt 1798, died 18 March 1831 at Manhattan, NY, NY
1835 James Everinghim (43), born in NY, died 24 June 1835 at Manhattan, NY, NY.
from these death records it looks like Avis died 1 month after their baby died, possibly from compilcations of child birth. This is also the same place where James' parents died, Gilbert in 1831, Phoebe in 1834.
