In some Dobbins research, it states "James and Alexander Dobbin put in claims for venirey tickets in 1769" (in Rowan County or Anson County, North Carolina). What the heck is a venirey ticket? I tried my best to find it on the internet....found some other researchres who also mentioned venirey tickets (not Cowan or Dobbin researcher's though), but no one explained what a venirey ticket was. I tried to look it up in the Encyclopedia and Unabridged Dictionary....no luck. (For the Cowan researchers, Dobbin/s tie into our Cowans). If you happen to know what this is, please let me know. Meanwhile, I'll try to pursue it at the public Library. I HATE having something like that in my family history and NOT know what it is. Plus I'm writing a book and I need to know what the heck it is. Much thanks in advance, Karen Cowan Thomas
