I found an ancestor that received payment for American Revolutionary War service from North Carolina. This payment is listed in "Pierce's Register" and I have the claim # from that register. How do I find the actual entry? I know John Pierce, Esq. was the US Paymaster that paid these claims to Continental Soldiers. I know the Register is the list of these payments. Where do I find the actual entry?
