This website has many soldiers that served in the Southern Continental lines that fought at Brandywine, Monmouth, Stony Pointe, Princeton, Germantown and were at Valley Forge as well. We are talking thousands of soldiers.

Captain George McCormick served at the Battle of Brandywine in Colonel William Crawford’s Virginia Regiment. He served as Captain at the battle of Germantown in Colonel William Russell’s Virginia regiment. George McCormick’s DAR record says that he served in the Virginia 13th Regiment under Colonels Crawford and Russell.

I have an ancestor to add! I will be in the Brandywine/Philadelphia area this weekend, so who do I talk to? (I have the supporting paperwork)
Should I just bring a copy of the paperwork and submit to someone on the staff of the battlefield museum?

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.

Are all the soldiers just from America’s Army or do you have the soldiers of France’s Army as well?

Jean-Joseph Sourbader deGimat, and Chevalier Morel de La Colombe were also in the battle, according to Harlow Giles Unger in his book “Lafayette”.

According to the “Historical Register of Officers of the Continental Army During the War of the Revolution” Lt. Col. David Dimon was there from the 6th Connecticut regiment. I am a member of that present day re-enacting regiment; I don’t know who else from the 6th may have been there, (as we are in the process of trying to re-construct the history of our regiment,) or if the 6th CT was there as an entity or possibly had detached one or more companies. One of our Sgts. is doing research in that area, and may make other discoveries as well which would be forwarded to you. The entry on Dimon in the aforementioned book reads as follows:
“Dimon, David (Conn.) Captain in the Lexington Alarm, April 1775; Capt. 5th Connecticut, 1st May to December 1775; Brigade-Major to General Wooster, 13th June to 18th September, 1775, and to General Schuyler 18th September 1775 to December 1776; Lieutenant-Colonel 6th Connecticut, 1st January 1777; died 18th September, 1777, of wounds received at Brandywine, 11th September, 1777.”

This is a great undertaking and is well deserved by those soldiers. I will keep my eyes open and will provide any information that I come across.

An ancestor of mine–2nd Lieutenant Jonathan Pugh’s service history lists–him as being wounded at Brandywine 11 Sep 1777 in the “Historical Register of officers of the Continental Army During the War of the Revolution” by Francis Heitman
This service history lists him as part of the the 5th PA under Col Magaw until capture at the Battle of Fort Washington Nov 16, 1776. Released at the end of 1776, it is unclear which unit he was attached at Brandywine.
Thank you.
