Ann TULLIS was the daughter of Temple TULLIS II & Patience SPIER, who had married in Effingham County in 1809. Her siblings, born 1810-1819, were:
• Elizabeth TULLIS, "Eliza" (1810-1892, wife of Judge William BLITCH of Bryan County),
• Stephen J. TULLIS C.S.A. (1815-1865, husband of Sarah Jane FERN/FURNS), and
• Henry H. TULLIS (1819-1889, husband of Rebecca Isabella FERN/FURNS, relocated to Clinch County).
In 1820-1821, the siblings lost both of their parents. The two girls became inmates of the Savannah Female Asylum (which had been founded in 1801, and was later renamed the Savannah Home for Girls) by 1828, when they were recognized at the orphanage for their uniform good conduct. In 1829, Eliza was of age to leave the asylum, but was asked to stay on retainer on account of her excellent example and useful services. In late 1831, the ladies honored Eliza with a tea set for her upcoming marriage; in December of 1831, Ann was permitted to leave to go to wedding in the country, the wedding of her sister Eliza to William BLITCH (the license for which was obtained in Effingham County).
In 1833, Ann TULLIS became the wife of Thomas H. BREWER, who died in 1845. Their seven children, born between 1833 and 1844, were:
• Lt. Joseph W. BREWER C.S.A. (1833-1863),
• 1st Corporal Washington J. BREWER C.S.A. (about 1834-1864),
• Mary E. BREWER (died 1877),
• 5th Sergeant Williamson Temple BREWER C.S.A. (1836-1907),
• Adaline S. BREWER (1839-1862),
• Melissa J. BREWER LANIER (born 1842, married 1876, died 1882), and
• Private Thomas A. BREWER C.S.A. (1844-1898).
Ann's husband, Thomas H. BREWER, had died about a year after the birth of their last child (his is the oldest marked burial in this cemetery). She lost two of her four soldier sons and a daughter during the Civil War. A widow for almost 48 years, Ann TULLIS BREWER died at the age of 80, having also survived her elder sister, her two younger brothers, all of her children but her two youngest sons, and at least two of her infant grandchildren.
Thomas H. BREWER's executors were his widow, Ann, and his brother, Judge George W. BREWER (born about 1807, husband of Penelope ELKINS), upon whom Ann must have relied throughout the war years, and until his own death, after being taken prisoner by Union soldiers in 1864.
Ann TULLIS BREWER was the niece of Rev. Stephen TULLIS & his wife, Sina LONDON.
