On September 10th, Howe’s forces attacked the American troops blocking his way to Philadelphia at Brandywine. In a day long battle, the British vanquished the American forces.

W Cone is listed with Granbury’s unit from North Carolina & he dies four days after the battle. I wonder if their are any cemeteries connected to this battle. William Cone was given a Tennessee land grant in Henderson Co., Tennessee which Benjamin Cone claims in Raleigh, North Carolina.
