Notes:

 

Jonas Bradshaw enlisted for twelve months as a private in May 1778 in the 4th Regiment of the North Carolina Line commanded by Colonel Archibald Lyttle and Major Hale Dickson. Jonas lived in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, when he enlisted. This Regiment was commonly referred to as "the nine-months men." The Regiment slowly moved from Charlotte to the Virginia line under the command of Major (later Brigadier General) William Lee Davidson and Major (later Lieutenant Colonel) William Polk.

They encamped in Caswell County in a place called Moons Creek, where the Regiment was furloughed in August 1778. Jonas returned to Charlotte, where he was called back into service on November 5, 1778. He participated in the Battle of Briar Creek in March 1779 under the command of Major General Benjamin Lincoln and Colonels Lytle and Armstrong. He also served under Colonel Malmady (a Frenchman) and Major John Nelson of the NC Line and fought in the Battle of Stono Ferry, south of Charleston, South Carolina, on June 20, 1779 under the command of Count Pulaski. He also fought in a skirmish prior to the Battle of Briar Creek and a skirmish following the Battle of Stono Ferry. He was discharged August 5, 1779 from the North Carolin Line by Colonel Archibald Lytle of Bacons Bridge on Ashley River about twenty miles above Charleston, South Carolina, and returned to Lincoln County.

General (formerly Major) Joseph Graham signed an affidavit October 30,1832 verifying Private Jonas

Bradshaw's military service in the Revolutionary War. Hartwell Spain, a clergyman from Lincoln County attested to Jonas Bradshaw good character, residence in Lincoln County, North Carolina, and that he was regarded in the community to be a Revolutionary War veteran. Jonas, living in Lincoln County, North Carolina, applied October 30, 1832 for his pension under the Act of Congress of July 7, 1838 and March 3, 1843 on August 27, 1845 and began receiving an annual pension of $40.00 retroactive to March 4, 1843.

Elizabeth's Certificate of Pension was issued June 9, 1846.
