WILLIAM BRAGG



     William Bragg applied for revolutionary pension while living in Cocke

County, Tenn. in August 1832. He was born at Alexandria, Va. May 18, 1765. He

was living in Maryland when he first enlisted. In Sept. 1781 he went to Loudon

County, Va., where he enlisted as a substitute for William Alford. He enlisted

again under Capt. Lewis and Col. West. He was present at the surrender of

Cornwallis. He guarded British prisoners. He left the service in October, 1781.

In 1782 he enlisted again as a substitute for Jonathan Sparrow. He received his

honorable discharge in writing which he sold to a merchant for five pounds in

Maryland currency, payable in drygoods. He moved some years after the War to

Cocke County, Tenn. His widow also drew a pension.
