"Nathan Bransford was born 1 Jan 1795 in Buckingham County, VA. He married, first, Sarah Powell, on November 3, 1818. She died on October 27, 1850. and he then married Sarah Lee on December 26, 1850. Nathan and Sarah Powell had three sons and one daughter. The second son, John Henry Bransford, is our direct ancestor. Nathan and Sarah Lee had one son and one daughter. Nathan served in the War of 1812 against the British. The record says he was born in Buckingham (VA) and enlisted 11/24/1812 from Watkinsville, GA in the 8th Infantry. His occupation was "farmer". He was discharged at Fort Crawford, M. T. 9/24/1817. He also fought in the War against the Indians in Southeast U.S. After the war he moved to Butler County, Alabama, just south of Greenville. He was on the 1883 list of pensioners, # 32,269, and received $8.00 per month, commencing February 1871. The Adjutant General's Office under date of August 23, 1871 says: Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of application for Pension #11, ____ , War of 1812.
