PREFATORY NOTE.

It is believed that the publication of this compilation will be of much
practical service to large numbers of people interested in a study of the
personal records of the Heroes of the American Revolution. And this is true,
although the lists are manifestly incomplete, and the sketches are wanting in
many desirable details.

The lists have been made up from altogether reliable and authentic sources.
These consist of contemporary obituaries, drawn from old newspaper files; the
Revolutionary Pension Roll, published by the U. S. Government as Senate Document
514, 3 volumes, 23rd Congress, 1st Session, 1833-34; the Census of Pensioners,
taken officially in 1840, and published by the U. S. Government in 1841, in one
volume; inscriptions from tombstones; well authenticated data taken from
published family histories; and the manuscript Pension Book, kept officially by
the State Branch Bank at Mobile. A few other sources have been drawn upon.
Citation of the authority or authorities has been given in each case.
In 1904 Mrs. P. H. Mell published a paper containing thirty sketches, entitled
"Revolutionary Soldiers Buried in Alabama." It appears as pp. 527-572, Vol. iv,
Transactions of the Alabama Historical Society, 1899-1903. Mrs. Mell had been
State Historian of the Alabama Division of the Daughters of the American
Revolution. While limited in numbers, her paper was prepared with great care.
The sketches appear in their proper places in the list here presented, with due
credit. Although a few lists of names, either by counties or localities, had
been compiled, no pretentious effort, prior to the work of Mrs. Mell, had been
undertaken.

Inasmuch as this is but a preliminary effort looking to a complete and
exhaustive record, the attention of the Department should be brought to any and
all errors, to dates and places of death, to places of burial, to the names of
those who removed from the State, and to all others whose names ought to be
included.

The Democrat, Huntsville, April 11, 1833, contains the following obituary :
"Suddenly at his residence in this County, on the 30th of March, Mr. John
Amonit, in the Eighty-second year of his age-thus another revolutionary spirit
has sunk into its rest Rarely are we called to record the death of a more
virtuouE man. - He has been a citizen of this county upwards of twenty years. In
the domestic circle, he was a kind and tender father, and affectionate
companion, a social and obliging neighbor, much beloved by numerous friends, and
enemies he had none. In youth, he boldly met the foe and nobly de-fended the
cause of liberty-few have ever so well prepared for their last great change-he
settled his earthly concerns-ate a hearty supper-called his family around
him-addressed the throne of grace-lay down in perfect composure-fell asleep in
the arms of his Saviour, and awoke in the Paradise of his God. Thus died Mr.
Amonit, without a groan, and left a wife, four children and numerous friends to
mourn their loss, which is his infinite gain, and he now reaps the just reward
of his labors."

ARMISTEAD, WILLIAM. The grave of this soldier is described in Ball's Clark
County, Alabayna, pp. 475-6. We learn that a Capt. William Armistead of Virginia
and three sons, Robert, Westwood and John, became citizens of Clarke. The father
was a man of strong peculiarities, a gentleman of the old school, wearing knee
buckles and retaining English tastes. He was twice married and had three sons
and three daughters. One daughter married John Morriss, in North Carolina, and
moved to Alabama; another daughter married Edmund Waddell, in North Carolina;
the third married Dr. Neal Smith, a gentleman of prominence in his day.
The grave stands alone, neatly enclosed with rocks and pickets on a hill near
Amity church in the family burial ground, on the plantation bequeathed by him to
his son-in-law. Dr. Neal Smith, about eight miles from Grove Hill.

BARCLAY, ROBERT. "Departed this life on the 26th July, 1848, Robert Barclay,
aged 85 years; born Nov. 1763, in Ireland; came with his father to South
Carolina in 1769; served as a private soldier under Sumpter towards the close of
the War of the Revolution, and emigrated to Tennessee in 1802, and afterwards to
Morgan County, Alabama, in 1816, where he died; being one of the first pioneers
who crossed the Tennessee River in Alabama. He was remarkably healthy, never
having any sickness until worn out with age; even retaining his eyesight to the
last, never using a pair of spectacles; he professed religion and joined the
Baptist Church after coming to Morgan County, and has left three sons and three
daughters to mourn his loss. Thus has fallen the last revolutionary patriot that
we are acquainted with; tho' there are doubtlesss many more; but the time is
close at hand when the last patriot that bared his bosom to the enemies of
American freedom, will cease to live on earth; but the time should be long
before a memory of their deeds should be lost to their survivors. - The

BRADFORD, THOMAS. - "Not so many miles north of Amity church, on this same

"THOMAS BRADFORD. - -A slight enclosure surrounds this lone burial spot, and the
headstone, with its few and simple words, reminds every passer-by of man's
mortality, and also that the dust is sleeping there of one of the soldiers of
'76, the Immortal Band of whom a South Carolina patriot, and eloquent Christian
lawyer, asks the touching, the thrilling question, `Shall they meet again in the
amaranthine bowers of spotless purity, of perfect bliss, of eternal glory?'
"Thomas Bradford had two sons, Brasil and Nathan."-Rev. T. H. Ball's Clarke
County, Alabama, p. 476.

BRAGG, PETER M., SR. - "OBITUARY-Departed this life, at his residence in Lowndes
county, Ala., on the 21st of May, Mr. Peter N. Bragg, Sr., A SOLDIER OF THE
REVOLUTION, at the advanced age of 78 years.
"Mr. Bragg was a native of Virginia, born in Fauquier county March 4th, 1763; he
entered the American Army under command of Gen. Greene, at the early age of 16;
and was in two distinguished battles-that of Guilford Court House, N. C., and
the one near Camden, S. C.
"At the close of the war, Mr. Bragg removed to Spartanburg District, S. C.,
where he resided about forty-six years, and moved thence, in December 1829, to
Lowndes county, Ala., where he continued till his death. He was a member of the
Baptist church more than 40 years; and his irreproachable life and unstained
character exemplify the honesty of his profession and the purity of his heart.
He was no partizan in religious matters, but taking the Bib1e alone, as his
standard of Christian profession and practice; he bowed to no other tribunal. If
he ever erred it was an error of the judgment, not of heart. And it may fairly
demand a doubt, whether in his degenerate age, any man ever lived more
studiously the life of a Christian. To speak in terms most appropriate, of the
domestic, social and moral worth of Peter N. Bragg in the narrow space assigned
in Obituary, would be, to those who knew him, but slight praise, and only show
the imbecility of a few presuming lines, which attempt to declare the virtuous
acts and beneficent deeds characteristic of a long, industrious, enterprising
and virtuous life; but let it suffice here to observe, that Mr. Bragg lived for
his country, his fellow-man and his God.
"As a neighbor, he promptly discharged all the duties which the mutual
obligation and reciprocal dependencies of society demand.
"As a citizen, he freely took part in all matters affecting our civil rights and
municipal happiness. As a Christian, he was attentive and liberal to the
indigent, merciful and humane to the afflicted, kind and hospitable to
strangers, and just and merciful to all."-The Greenville Mountaineer,
Greenville, S. C., June 12, 1841.
