Revolutionary War. His service records
parallel that of his brother, John Conrad.
Both Henry and John Conrad were serving
with General George Washington's troops at
the siege of Yorktown, and witnessed the
surrender of British General Cornwallis.
In John Conrad's application for pension
he states he remained with his brother
Henry at Yorktown until Henry had to leave
to take charge of British prisoners.
