Andrew Braden married February 07, 1793 Montgomery Co, VA to Dorothy McNeely born June 04, 1777, Montgomery Co, VA & died June 03, 1843, Anderson Co, TN.

Mrs Beulah Braden, a well-known genealogist of 105 E. Maiden Lane, Oak Ridge has done much work on the Braden family line. The following information is from some of her research notes.

Andrew Braden (Breden)
Rev. War Soldier, was born February 4, 1765. His father Alexander Braden of Guilford County, North Carolina was a Captain in the Colonial Army and was wounded at Ticonderoga. Andrew Braden applied for a pension while living in Anderson County, August 5, 1839. He states in his application that he had enlisted at Guilford, NC in July or August of 1779, and served a total of 11 months in various tours during the next 2 years. He was a private under Captain Edward Quinn and fought in the Battle of Ramsour's Mill. After having lived in Guilford County, NC, Augusta, Pennsylvania, Franklin, and Montgomery counties, Virginia, he moved to Anderson County, Tennessee shortly after 1800. In 1809, he had a survey made on 142 acres on the Brushy Fork of Poplar Creek. He was a blacksmith by trade, and his son, Isaac, is reputed to have operated one of the first iron forges in Tennessee at the juncture of the Mountain Fork and Brushy Fork of Poplar Creek. Andrew Braden married Dorothy McNealy February 7, 1793 in Montgomery County, Virginia. Their children included: Isaac, Jane, James, Peggy, John, and William. William settled in Laurel Grove, and his son Hiram bought the lands later to be known as "Braden's Flats" where the Braden family homecomings are held.

Andrew Braden died November 19, 1842 & buried near a large cedar tree on the side of Black Oak Ridge a short distance from Shinliver School. His widow, Dorothy, was allowed a pension under the Act of March 3, 1843.
