If your library has access to Heritage Quest, you can download Revolutionary War info from there, particularly if they applied for a pension. I can use the number on the back of my library card to access it from home. The SC Department of Archives and History has records online which include land records. The URL is http://www.state.sc.us/scdah/ From their home page, click on "Records Indexes to Key Series Available Online."
