I am new to this group but like to add my two cents worth. please be careful on using the data from Lyman Chalkley- Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia- Vols.1,2,3 There are many errors in Chalkeys books and should not be used as a proven fact but a clue to further your research endeavors. I have Robert Bratton as one of my approved ancestor's for DAR and for his military service I used the fact he furnished supplies in the capacity of Patriot Service. I am sorry to say that a great amount of data of military service for our ancestors is not correct and will not benefit as proof to join an heredity organization. I descend from the daughter Agnes "Nancy" Bratton born 17 April 1747 married William Givens. I would like to find out how William Bratton born 27 July 1778 son of George Bratton and Jane Elliott relates to Robert Bratton. Would welcome any comments or information. Patsy
