The members of a religious sect which first appeared at

Quakers; -- called also {Tunkers}, {Dunkards}, {Dippers},
and, by themselves, {Brethren}, and {German Baptists}, and
they call their denomination the Church of the Brethren.
[1913 Webster]

Note: The denomination was founded in Germany in 1708, but
after a few years the members emigrated to the United
States; they were opposed to military service and
taking legal oaths, and practiced trine immersion.
[1913 Webster WordNet 1.5]

1. A male person who has the same father and mother with
another person, or who has one of them only. In the latter
case he is more definitely called a {half brother}, or
{brother of the half blood}.

Note: A brother having the same mother but different fathers
is called a {uterine brother}, and one having the same
father but a different mother is called an {agnate
brother}, or in (Law) a {consanguine brother}. A
brother having the same father and mother is called a
{brother-german} or {full brother}. The same modifying
terms are applied to {sister} or {sibling}.
[1913 Webster PJC]

Of this the very brother. --Wordsworth.
[1913 Webster]

Note: In Scripture, the term brother is applied to a kinsman
by blood more remote than a son of the same parents, as
in the case of Abraham and Lot, Jacob and Laban. In a
more general sense, brother or brethren is used for
fellow-man or fellow-men.
[1913 Webster]

For of whom such massacre
Make they but of their brethren, men of men?
--Milton.
[1913 Webster]

Jonathan."
