My connection to the Drane Family is actually Eugenia Brown who married Wm. Winfrey. She is my ancestors sister-so George Brown's sister. But-here is what I have in my notes: William acquired 1500 acres of land and 43 slaves. He was recruited in Patriot's Army and within sixteen miles of Yorktown when Cornwallis surrendered. Rev Sol Md 10-31-1792. Revolutionary War - Pension Military Service So there should be something SOMEWHERE. Any DAR Member (And I was,but not currently) can go online and check for service,and who has used him. Gerry
