I have an ancestor to add. John Burroughs (1754-1842) was a private in the Continental Army for seven years throughout the Revolutionary War. He fought at the Battle of Brandywine in the 3rd New Jersey Regiment under Capt./Maj. Joseph Bloomfield. Bloomfield was wounded at the Battle of Brandywine and John Burroughs accompanied him until they were able to rejoin the Regiment at Valley Forge for the Winter of 1777-1778. John Burroughs received an honorable discharge signed by General George Washington.
Browne, William
I hope this finds you well. I’m not sure if you’re still posting names, but my brother has been researching family history and apparently our ancestor, William Browne, father of the silversmith and later Philadelphia county treasurer, Liberty Browne, died fighting at Brandywine, I think right at Chadds Ford. His son, Liberty, had been born on July 4th, 1776.
Best,

Brown, Robert & Mathew
I found in my grandmother’s family tree papers, a note that my great great……grandfather “Robert Brown” fought in the battle of Brandywine at the age of 13 along with his father Mathew Brown. What I am interested in is finding documents to confirm this, but have been unable to locate anything online. Can you give me any recommendations as to where I might find any leads?
