I am a descendant of Col. Alexander Lowry, Lancaster PA Militia, 3rd Battalion, 2nd Brigade under General James Irvine and served under Armstrong. I am attaching some indication of his service.

I have pension records that my 5th Great Grandfather fought at the Battle of Brandywine. His name James Joseph Lovett. Born in England 1753. Recieved a ball in his hip during the war and was therefore entitled to the pension. It is very late and I don’t have that information at my finger tips. But if this is for real and you would like to know more please contact me and I will give you the information that has been researched by my family members.

He first appears on a a Muster Roll for June 1777, dated July 10; the roster itself may give his enlistment date. He was in Capt. James Gray’s Company.

The battle of Brandywine was Sept. 11, 1777. He was not killed in battle, but it is possible he was wounded there.

A Muster roll dated 4 Oct 1777 states he was ‘absent sick’. The Muster Roll for Sept. 1777, dated Oct. 14 states he was ‘sick in hospital’. The Pay Rolls for Sept. and Oct. 1777 have no special notations according to the Compiled Service Record but you’d have to look at the actual rolls; he was paid for each month.

The Pay Roll for Nov. 1777 states under ‘casualties’ that he “died, time unknown”. A roll dated 22 Dec 1777 for November 1777 states he was ‘dead’, and had enlisted for 3 years.

My 5th great grandfather Daniel Longbrake or Lambright or Lamprecht (he went by Longbrake) fought in the battle of Brandywine.

I have 7 separate documents listing Daniel as a veteran of the Revolutionary war. Daniel was a Private of Bucks County, Substitute, 2nd Class, in the Pennsylvania Militia. Daniel served as a rifleman during his service.

Daniel stated in his pension of 1832 “That he was drafted again and marched to Brandywine under the command of Captian David Millinger and he thinks the Lt. was Andrew Keesling. He was marched to Brandywine and placed in a regiment commanded by Colonel Pearce in a detachment commanded by General Winecroft”.

Also in my family tree a unknown CROW, brother of Abraham Crow was killed in Brandywine. He was also from Bucks or Berks County PA.
