I am uncertain in which generation the spelling of Brewbaker was changed from Brubaker. George appears to be the first ancestor with the spelling of Brewbaker.
George became one of the areas most esteemed citizens. He is described in the history book as "a venerable pioneer of Allen County, he was an honored resident within its limits from 1833, when as a child of 7 he was brought here with the family until his death in 1896 as an old and highly esteemed citizen."
The "Record of Allen and Van Wert Counties Ohio" biographical sketch on Timothy B. Bowersock, indicates that "G. W. Brewbaker was born in 1826, on the banks of Honey Creek, in Perry County, Ohio, and is a son of Jacob and Catherine (SmIth) Brewbaker. When Mr. Brewbaker was seven years old, his parents moved to Allen County, settling in Shawnee Township, where the father of the family leased a tract of land. After living in this township for many years , he removed to Franklin County, Ohio, where where he died at the age of 52 years, his wife afterward dying in Illinois. They reared a family of seven children, viz: Delilah, deceased; Daniel, a resident of Springfield, Ohio, Kate, deceased; Polly, deceased; and George W., who as stated came to Allen County with the rest of the family when he was seven years of age. Farm life was his portion and to this he has always been devoted, and since 1833 he has always lived in Allen County, with the exception of about three years. In 1852 Mr. Brewbaker was married to Miss Sarah Ridenour daughter of Isaac and Lydia (Cotterman) Ridenour, who was born in Perry County Ohio, November 22, 1829. Mr. and Mrs. Brewbaker have six children, viz: George H., a resident of German Township; Emma J., wife of Abraham Cremean, of German Township; Margaret L., wife of T. B. Bowersock; William A., a resident of Amanda Township; Viella, wife of William Clarke of Lima, Ohio; and Winfield C., deceased. Mr. Brewbaker is one of the good, honest and industrious citizens of Allen County, and is a member of the Christian Church."
