History of The Battle of Brandywine

Here are some links of interest on the history of the Battle of Brandywine. Since Christian Cones presumably disappeared from history around that time frame I thought it would be a good idea to read up on the Brandywine history. This is great advice to the new hunters.

By reading the history of Brandywine, this gives us an idea of the war time frame and the possible sides Christian fought on. Many believed that he fought for America but in light of reading up on the Brandywine it has left some of our minds wandering was he on the side of the enemy? It is possible we will never know. Until we can locate more information on Christian we are left speculating what really happened. Did he really die at the Battle of Brandywine? Was Christian able to carry on life after the Brandywine leaving a slight trail that seems to be lost in history? What really happened to Christian Cones and will we ever truly find out?  I truly hope so. But until that time comes all we can do is read up on the history and speculate what we all think happened. Family folk-lore's are interesting but they are not always accurate. Unfortunately, this is proving to be true for Christian.
