Mrs. Theodore S. Wood
E. 3816 Hubble Boulevard
Des Moines, Iowa

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the 
pension record of William Brady, a soldier of the Revolutionary
War, who, in 1840, was aged eighty-one years and resided in Boone
County, Kentucky, with John Brady.  You state, also, that you
have found in Heitman's Historical Register that a William Brady,
of Virginia, was a captain in Stephenson's Maryland and Virginia 
Regiment in 1776, and a captain of the 11" Virginia Regiment in 
1777.

There is no claim for pension or bounty land on file based
upon the service of the above named officer.  The record of the 
William Brady, who received pension while residing in Boone County,
Kentucky, has been found and is furnished herein, the date for which 
were obtained from the papers on file in his claim for pension, S.34671,
based upon his military service in the Revolutionary War.

The date and place of birth and the names of the parents of
William Brady are not shown.  It was stated that his father's home
in Ninety Six District, South Carolina, was burned during the Revolution
by Tories and Indians.

While residing in Ninety Six District, South Carolina, William
Brady enlisted in June or July, 1777, and served as a private in 
Captain David Baldwin's Company, under Colonels John Stewart of 
Steward, Elbert, Ray and McIntosh in the Georgia Troops; length of 
service, two years and four months; he enlisted, date not given, 
and served in Captain Tutt's Company, Colonel Sumter's South 
Carolina Regiment; length of service, until the close of the war.  
He was at the siege of Savannah, at Tarlton's Defeat, siege of 
Augusta, where he received a wound in the abdomen, and the battle of 
Eulaw Springs.

He was allowed pension on his application executed August 11, 1830,
while residing in Boone County, Kentucky, and aged sixty-two years.  

[note in left margin says Capt. Benj. Tutt]
[note in right margin says could not identify 
any of the 
Ga officers except 
Elbert & McIntosh]
Page 12

In 1820, William Brady stated that his wife was aged fifty one years and that he and his wife resided with a son. He did not give the names of his wife or son nor the date of his marriage.  In 1844, he had moved to Van Buren County, Missouri, with his son, John Brady. There are no further data as to family.
