My dear Mr. Ramseyer:

In response to your letter of the 14th instant, I have the
honor to advise you that you are herewith furnished the history of
Thomas Stockett Brewer who served with the Maryland Troops.
From the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W.
9369, it appears that Thomas Stockett Brewer enlisted in London Town,
Maryland in February or March 1776, served as a private in Captain
Nathaniel Ramsay's Company in Colonel William Smallwood's Maryland
Battalion and was in the battle of White Plains, was in several
skirmishes, and served until late in 1776 or early in 1777. He enlisted
August 7, 1777 and served as corporal and sergeant in Captain
Solomon Long's Company in Colonel Thomas Woolford's Maryland Regiment,
was in the battles of Germantown and Monmouth, and while in winter
quarters at Weeks' Farms was severely wounded by the falling of a log
while assisting in the building of huts, and was discharged June 1,
1780.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 15,
Page 20

1818, at which time he was living in Annapolis, Anne Arundel County,
Maryland.
In 1820 he stated that he was "upwards of sixty-six years"
of age. He then referred to a grandson aged ten years but did not
give his name.
The soldier died April 1, 1823 in Annapolis, Maryland.
He married August 22, 1782, in Annapolis, Maryland, Susanna
Lampley or Lambley. She was allowed pension on her application executed
July 19, 1838, at which time she was seventy-nine years of
age and was living in Annapolis, Maryland. She was living there in
1855.
They had the following children:
Sarah Stockett Born May 28, 1783
Runas (a son) " April 19, 1785
John Mercer " December 6, 1786
Mary Ann " April 11, 1790
Brice Real " Ocotober 26, 1792
Allen Thomas " January 5, 1795
Elisa " march 19, 1797
Susanna " December 28, 1799.

in his power to procure, and it is so long since
his military service was performed that it is

him to relief from his country at this
