General Notes: Husband - Hugh Brady
He was a descendant of Capt. John Brady, detailed by General Washington to defend settlers at Ft. Brady during the Revolution. Capt. Brady was killed by Indians near Fort Brady, April 11th, 1779. His grave at Hall's Station (on P. & E. R. R.) Muncy burying ground is marked by a Cenotaph thirty feet high, raised by dollar subscriptions. At its dedication in 1879, Hon. John Blair Linn said, "Four generations of Brady's fought for this country."
He was a volunteer soldier, a fifer in the War of 1812. He enlisted in the last year-1815, in a Pennsylvania regiment and was honorably discharged at the close of the war.
His granddaughter, Mrs. J. P. Martin, said that at breaking out of the Civil war in 1861, the old patriot's blood was again aroused. He rigged himself up in a brand new suit of clothes and went to Quincy, Illinois, to enlist. Much to his chagrin he was turned down on medical examination. He had to go home.
General Notes: Wife - Polly Reed
She was a woman of more than ordinary intelligence and had a remarkable memory. She was noted for her knowledge of the Bible and was able to repeat much of it from memory.
