ROBERT BARCLAY.
"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 doubtless many more; but the time in 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 Democrat, Huntsville, Aug. 9,

THOMAS BRADFORD. -
"Not so many miles north of Amity church, on this same Choctaw
line, stands the grave and memorial stone of another
Revolutionary soldier.
"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. |
PETER M. BRAGG, 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 Bible 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 and merciful to all."
