Required two years of service. NC issued land warrants from 1783-1841
in two series.
The first included numbers 1-5312, issued from 1783-1797. located in
military district of Tennessee. Second series of warrants numbered 1
to 1242 issued 1799 to 1841 by NC but Tennessee officials located and
granted these patents. There is more information from the introduction
if anyone is interested.
Most heirs names are unlisted. Land warrants were frequently sold, so
the warrant does not necessarily refer to military service for that
individual.
