General Notes: Husband - William Brandon

---

He was born in Holland and belonged to the House of Brandenburg. He was a soldier in his own land before com­ing to the Colonies and serving in the Pa­triot army through the whole of the Revo­lutionary War. After its close, he settled in Mercer County, PA, but did not long survive. He and his wife had six sons. [TCHBC, 912]

On April 1, 1776, he enlisted in the Continental army, and served one year and nine months. He participated in the battles of White Plains, Trenton, Princeton and Brandywine, and in 1824 he was granted a pen­sion by the Pennsylvania legislature as a reward for his services in the Revolu­tion. In 1781 he married and in 1798 moved from Adams County to Mercer County, Pennsylvania, and located on Wolf creek. Here he and his wife spent the remaining years of their lives. [HBC 1895, 1184]
