His name appears on the 1835 pension list of Virginia Revolutionary soldiers residing outside of Va. His residence in that pension list was given as Scott Co. Ky. and his age as 72.
What was his wife's maiden name, the date of her birth, marriage and death? When did Captain Geo. Burbridge die? Have you a record of the names of his children, four sons of whom were soldiers in the war of 1812 from Ky.? One of these sons was Captain Robert Burbridge.
Thank you. I am
Very sincerely,
