Joanne wondered, >When was the NC Continental formed?< There were 10 numbered NC Continental Regiments and two others. You can look up brief summaries of their histories at <http://www.americanrevolution.org> or <http://www.myrevolutionarywar.com/index.htm> An internet search will result in a lot more data. Good hunting, Judy

Thank you,Judy. I have learned there were many men in NC who signed up for the duration of the war. Now curious why my fellow earned a grant of 640 acres while his CO --Arch.Lytle--earned only 500. Perhaps the answer's in the links you sent. --Joanne --------------------------------- Yahoo! Messenger with Voice. Make PC-to-Phone Calls to the US (and 30+ countries) for 2¢/min or less.
