Pat, I apparently blew it. There were land grants for Revolutionery War service. These, however, are unrelated to the land grants under discussion. See the message from ngmann@aol.com. If I can turn up the information you asked for, I will pass it along. -----Original Message----- From: Havener [mailto:phavener@javanet.com] Sent: Sunday, November 28, 1999 8:03 PM To: GABURKE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: Burke Co. Land Lotteries 1803 Hi, I also need some education. You wrote: The land lottery was an act of Congress. For Revolutionery war service against the British in the fight for independence . . >From what states did you fight from to get a grant? I am seeking info on my 4th great grandfather, Mills Woodard, who , He recieved 10 acres in 1806, and 7 in 1807....both grants in Burke County... I know he was around in 1804. He was the executor of the estate of Elizabeth Odam, who died in 1804. (Widow of Joshua Odam).
